At the east end of Barkley.

Ah, love that area. I grew up off Britton rd, just a few houses up from the soccer field of Squalicum HS. Lived there during the 96 event which I'll never forget. That area always seems to get cold easily, and hangs onto it well.

I've watched the nws radar so long and i know when light green is over you it's a decent snow and dark green is very hard. Green on the uw radar is not as heavy of snow compared to the nws.

Depends on the air mass.

 

I have seen heavy snow under blue on the NWS radar in a saturated air mass and nothing falling under green when the air mass is dry.

Light coating on everything, but looks like the moisture is moving north for the night. Was fun while it lasted

 

 

I think there might be more activity up in your area later tonight.

Per the models or per your own guess? Models were much more bullish a day or 2 ago... but killed the precip quickly in the recent runs

 

Models... here is 10 p.m. through 4 a.m.

very heavy snow rn in Puyallup.... I have 3 snowflakes on my windshield

 

 

It looked very impressive... I can see 5 or 6 flakes on the walkway under the front door light.    Although it has stopped snowing now.

Not sure about that secondary lobe tomorrow afternoon down south... here is total snow through Sunday morning per the WRF:

WRF and the Euro have been wrong about our area for this storm so far. 3 inches plus and still lightly snowing. We may surpass February 2014 for snowfall. We are also st about 88 inches or so estimated for the season.

Nope... I screwed up and you quoted one before I fixed it.   The file names all look the same when browsing from the hosting site.    :wacko:

This pattern is so confusing.   If I just looked at the 500mb map for Monday and did not have any context... I would guess it would be raining that day.

But because the ULL just formed right over us the night before... it has no precip.   Or even clouds.

      I know, I was making a separate point. I will edit that. Sounds like a last second strike call-off. Bad communication I guess.

      Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024

      All this post tells me is that you have a lot of research to do on this topic. A lot. I like what Coleman Hughes says about color blindness, as hawks pointed out, but as I looked around his X profile and watched his interviews about Israel, he has glaring holes in his understanding. He does not have any knowledge of the historical motives from both sides, the political situations, the cynical bargaining, the ultimate goal of the far-right in Israel, the tactics used by the IDF, the cover the U.S. provides Israel in the UN, the lack of accountability the IDF has, the treatment of Arab Israelis, the treatment of Gazans, the rights taken away, the bulldozed cemeteries, the mass graves, the torture of innocent people, the shooting/bombing of their own hostages, the outright lies taken as truth, the international laws broken, the ultra nationalist groups in the IDF and their horrific actions, the intentional killing of journalists, the bastardization of the term "Anti-Semitic", the labeling of Jews who object to Israel's actions as "Self-hating", the labeling of Pro-Palestinian protestors as "Pro-Hamas"... none of it. He does not know what he is talking about. He only thinks he does. That makes me not respect him. He is a wannabe Hitchens or Rushdie minus all the context and raw knowledge. It's a genocide. People can deny it, but they are either ignorant or don't care.

      ATC is not the same as corporate airlines. This is a government job just like ours in the US. They get pensions, have good social programs (like all the French), lots of time off (like all French), and are paid fairly well (100k euros). They ended up getting what they wanted I guess cause it got called off after the threat.
