February Snowfalls 2/10-2/12, Part III & IV

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Whoever wrote the forecast for the Seattle zone must have been overly excited.  The wording and precip ty[pes are all messed up.  It starts out with rain in the morning and areas of snow throughout the day for tomorrow.

 

I continue to marvel at the return of the cold on Wednesday.  It's nice when the cold is so close.  All we need is a switch to northerly gradients and presto!

There is a new guy and its his first winter here. Maybe he had a part. I laughed when there was rain in forecast for hood canal tonight.

Anyone have 18z euro details?

Give it a couple hrs. Warm nose already on the lee side of the Coast Range. It's not going to warm all that much but enough. 34 to 40 give or take. Many places locally have warmed to 35 give or take a degree or two. The valley should start warming a little more soon overall.

I bet you’re right, but I sure hope this is surprisingly good for PDX.

Still will probably score a few inches. Warm front doesn't really begin to develop until tomorrow morning and we may even have some light ESE flow down here tomorrow morning to keep it cold before that lifts north. 

 

I'm on the very west end of town and it is now 32.6F and actually have measurable accumulation. Very thin on the roads but maybe up to 3/4ths of an inch on grassy surfaces. Pleasantly surprised the south wind hasn't punched me in the face and taken my lunch money yet. By far the best event for me this winter and it is all with a gusty south wind.

I generally agree with that. However, it is interesting that i am still dropping in temp up here. 30.7 now. Wonder if i may stay as snow for quite a bit longer through the night.

Definitely a mess.

 

Monday

Rain likely in the morning. Snow through the day. Rain, a slight chance of light freezing rain and light sleet in the afternoon. Snow level near sea level. Snow and sleet accumulation around 1 inch. Highs in the mid to upper 30s. North wind to 10 mph increasing to 10 to 15 mph with gusts to 25 mph in the afternoon.

[Blizzard777]

Now this is what I’m used too. Snow all around me but not falling on me.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Southerly wind pretty noticeable. Going to rain later but dry for now.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I put out a snow board at 5:40 going to measure it at 30 minutes.

I hope this whole thing tonight isn't going to suck here.  Not sure what is wrong.  The trajectory looks fine to get the moisture around the Olympics.

[ShawniganLake]

Took a couple videos. Hope this works.

Heavy rain here!

[snow_wizard]

Crazy echoes on the Langley Hill radar.

[Poulsbo Snowman]

2" so far.  Currently 29, moderate to heavy snow at times.

 

This is the good, accumulating stuff.  As good as it gets!

Nice, man! Trying to stick a little to the bark here near Ridgefield but that's it. Temp still 33.8. We'll see how long we have before the warm surge aloft.

[Prairiedog]

Hope away, isn't going to happen this round., only temporary if you're seeing flurries.

Not really that important... it just blends into the next system in 12 hours and that one will hit King County hard.

Alright, alright. 

[Thurston Howell III]

Of course right after I posted the snow slowed down in Gig Harbor.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

1.7" so far in moderate to heavy snow, most of that accumulation in the past hour.

Snow is always important.

You guys are getting a ton tomorrow, too.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

This is some of the fastest accumulating snow I've had since 1996 no .

[TT-SEA]

Snow is always important.

Not when we might get 20 inches in the next 36 hours. Starts to become a concern for many reasons.

[Requiem]

This is some of the fastest accumulating snow I've had since 1996 no s**t.

 

Congrats. Hoping someone gets slammed in a freak snowstorm with that front tomorrow night down here.

[joelgombiner]

Heavy returns stretching from the coast rotating into Seattle. This system is way juicier than cliff mass predicted this morning.

Let people enjoy this.

Good point.  I'm pretty sure it's almost all going to fall as snow here tomorrow through Tuesday morning.

[El_Nina]

It's snowing for now.

[HighlandExperience]

Hope you are right.

Really Chris?

 

I am speaking for my area and Jim's area.    Nowhere else.  

 

And this coming from you... the person who has made literally hundreds of negative posts on this forum in the last 2 weeks based on the what the models showed in your backyard.

 

And you want to lecture me now?   When I am very concerned about snow load here?    I will express my opinion like everyone else does here.

[snowbustcity]

Some big, big fat flakes falling NE Seattle at the moment. Biggest flakes yet.

That looks like a blizzard!

[MossMan]

Solars are still working!

[Blizzard777]

That sounds painful !

Looks awesome

Lol, "literally hundreds of posts"? I would say prove it but you actually might try, but be wrong.

 

 

Whatever Tim, end of conversation.

Sounds like Rice Krispies.

[GHweatherChris]

Accumulating sleet currently.

[seattleweatherguy]

Slightly bigger flakes now
