snow_wizard Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Temperature is actually dropping at a decent rate even without offshore winds or moisture. Unfortunately I will be shadowed pretty much all night. We have a pretty impressive batch of maritime polar air flooding in. It sucks to be shadowed in these cases. 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

MikeBC Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 The arctic front is finally approaching Sumas and Abbotsford. The temperature started to drop at a good rate as the wind direction shifted to NE from SW in that area. It has been acting like January 2012 but that event got about one foot of snow for many areas before the arctic air arrived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiem Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Fairly narrow band affecting a specific area of the Sound with wet snow.

Phil Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 LOL thought I just saw a large snowflake swirling around in a wind eddy outside my window but it turns out it was just schmutz on my glasses. Looks like the pressure has bottomed out at my house after consistently dropping since yesterday, been at 29.45 for about 45 minutes now. Wind has also gone calm after being out of the South all morning.Now we know Chewbacca Defense wears glasses.
