MossMan Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Total snow for the weekend per 00Z ECMWF. Highs in the low to mid 40s across all of the lowlands on Sunday... 43 in Seattle. That is some HOTT snow right there! Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Frontal Snowsquall Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 For what it’s worth, ice storms are almost completely unheard of by the end of February.I see. It isn't out of the realm of possibility though with the cold east winds pouring out of the Gorge in this set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah, you and I are in bad spots when it comes to ice storms.Surprised at how undervalued it is, but 12/8/16 was a pretty destructive ice storm in my area. About an inch of ice on everything, no power for a few days, and lots of tree and plant damage. Two inches of snow as well under all of it. 1 Quote "Let's mosey!" --Cloud Strife ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Top 5 Snow Events (post 2014): (1.

TT-SEA Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 North Bend area about to get smacked with CZ. That is not really a traditional stationary c-zone that dumps snow for hours. That is a progressive band of precip sliding south. Heaviest precip is actually closer to the Sound. Maybe an inch or two at our house tonight... not really "smacked" considering what happened last week.

TIL, looks like a serious one!Yeah, it was a huge ice storm. It was from late December 1996. Mark made a blog post about the picture before. Here's what he said. "The date of the picture? It was from those rare back to back ice storms between Christmas and New Year's Eve…1996. At the west end of the Gorge where I lived there was just about 6" of solid ice on the windward side of objects, which included school buses tipping sideways and trees down all over the place. The first storm was Christmas Night and the 26th, the 2nd was 2 days later, before the ice from the first had melted. I remember during the night of the 2nd storm it was 23 in Corbett with sheets of rain coming down, while the wind was gusting to 60+ mph. That was a wild night!" https://fox12weather.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/that-darn-marine-layer/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard777 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah, that was one of the most destructive ice storms in PDX weather history. Here's a memorable photo from that ice storm. My front window turned into a stain glass window of ice and a tree I planted in the yard for my daughter snapped in half. I also remember using my garden hose as a rope to get up to my front door as the driveway had a really good slope to it. This is when I lived in Troutdale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
