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

[Cloud]

Yeah... but the line has moved north quite a bit since that post.  

Yup. I'm literally near the S Rose St line and it's now raining.

[MossMan]

Awesome amounts of snow falling! Just finished gettin the snow load off my carport.

Looks like you're at Snoqualmie or Stevens Pass.

Yeah it’s gett deep! Temp down to 31.0

31.4° here so pretty close.

[Requiem]

The front is yet to arrive, right? That should bring some really heavy rain to areas.

[TT-SEA]

Transition line looks like its from Northgate to the south side of Kirkland.  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Except the other two bought widespread heavy snow to the Seattle area.  

 

I think you missed the point...

Right up there with the big boys now.   Like people always say... if it can happen in other places then it can still happen here.

******* unreal! I think this month will have more chances giving the pattern persistence. #4 is a real possibility! 

[snowbustcity]

Still snowing strongly in NE Seattle (Wedgwood). New snow is boot high deep. Have over a foot in some areas in my yard.

[MikeInEverett]

Can’t believe it’s still absolutely dumping snow here. 31 degrees.

[MossMan]

Snowwww

[TT-SEA]

Wow... more snow on Thursday per the GFS.

 

 

This dry pattern has transitioned to VERY wet.  

[Guest CulverJosh]

Between 3-6 am.  That will be the best timeframe for switchover.  I am going to go to sleep early and set my alarm for 3.  You should do the same just in case it doesnt snow.  Then at least you will have your sleep in.

[bainbridgekid]

There were many times I wondered if we would ever get to forecast a weather event of this magnitude.

 

The last two weeks have been one hell of a ride and I'm so grateful I got to experience it.

 

[Poulsbo Snowman]

Last gasps of snow here.  But it hasn't given up the ghost yet.

[bainbridgekid]

Can't vouch for the accuracy, but my friend in Belfair along Hood Canal is reporting 33 inches on the ground.

[The Swamp]

Wow... more snow on Thursday per the GFS.

 

 

This dry pattern has transitioned to VERY wet.  

 

You think this will be snow in the south sound?  Low looks to be about in the same place as what is happening now and we are getting some weird warming winds off Mt. Rainier or something where others are getting more of an east wind through the passes.

[Geos]

Transition line looks like its from Northgate to the south side of Kirkland.

At least I have some elevation. Just saw the light from a transformer blowing in the distance.

I saw that too!

[Cloud]

Sister just called and said their power is out in Bothell/Mill Creek area -- Lots and lots of people are the same according to twitter. Dangerous situation tonight.

[Esquimalt]

Wow I’m a little worried I’m gonna switch to rain here.

[TT-SEA]

Elevation did not seem to matter in Issaquah.

 

It transitioned to rain in the Highlands at about 900 feet around the same time it did in the valley.

Warm nose must have headed that direction first.

Exactly elevation not meaning much right now.

 

Wish I lived in snoqualmie ridge though. They seem to be more protected from dreaded warm noses

Just checked the PSE outage map... looks scattered and small numbers of homes effected in each outage.   They say its worse in Kitsap and Thurston counties.

Good section of west Kenmore is out too.

[Katzen]

Snow is picking up again and temp moved back down from 31 to 30

Snoqualmie Ridge is usually the western extent of the east wind outflow through the pass.

Do you have the map of where the warm nose is? 

[Snowfreak]

Snowwww

Had no idea Stanwood was a local snowbelt!  Very nice.  Enjoy!!

[bainbridgekid]

6.1" officially at SEA.

 

20.2" on the month which makes this the snowiest month in 50 years and 8th snowiest month in Seattle history going back to 1891!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

That is why I keep talking about the models showing pattern persistence...Chances will continue.

There is some outflow there with the SE wind... coming through Maple Valley.

[seattleweatherguy]

Good section of west Kenmore is out too.

Power still on thankfully with 5 inches of snow on the ground

[TT-SEA]

Do you have the map of where the warm nose is? 

 

Someone here might.  I am just going by traffic cams which tells the story well tonight.

[bainbridgekid]

From my friend in Belfair where they have 33 inches on the ground:

 

[Guest CulverJosh]

My dream someday is to build a log cabin on the top of Tiger Mountain.  Close enough to the city but amazing winter weather.
