[MossMan]

Everyone sick of my pics yet? What a fun day!

[kokaneekidz]

Watching Being Canadian fwiw

[Blizzard777]

Yep, unless you live north of there. The SWAMP is already screwed... Seattle north could do well.

Formal Protest!

My  phone app is RED!   

Federal Way is listed! 

 

by the way, beautiful sunset down here. TacomaWX......your missing it   

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Beautiful sunset on the Willamette in Salem. Caught a beaver snacking in the river. He is also in the lower left hand corner of the sunset shot. 

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

There is more moisture on radar than what was modeled at this point.

[Blizzard777]

Calm before the storm

[Deweydog]

41 for a high at PDX today while the average high is 47.

Get ready because me and you are having a snow plow war.

Can’t wait!

Trend of gradients/satellite/echoes offshore would hint that models are too far N with heavy SN tnght. But it is looking N of Seattle (maybe S Snohomish county is on far S edge). @NWSSeattle forecast looks like best bet at this point. Nowcast is best tool and will change. #wawx pic.twitter.com/xuVZTv9JWT— Jay Albrecht (@AlbrechtJay) January 15, 2020

 

SO THERE IS A CHANCE

[luvssnow_spokane]

There is more moisture on radar than what was modeled at this point.

AND it is all pretty much heading north/central. The outcome is sadly the same for down here. I hate snow anyways, so who cares.

Big difference between Seattle and Everett the last two days, been awhile since I can remember such a difference with an arctic front stalling in between them.

 

SEA was 37/30 yesterday and 36/28 today. PAE was 31/25 yesterday and 28/24 today.

 

I remember one winter in the 1990's when the arctic front stalled over Seattle. Upper 20's in Shoreline, mid-30's downtown.

[Thurston Howell III]

I think hiway 101 is blocking the moisture.

[Blizzard777]

What are the odds this comes In a little south❄❄

We just need hope that all!  

 

May the weather dynamics be forever in our favor

I am looking for property in ID I am hoping to move this spring or summer. I can hardly wait. I am going to love the 6% sales tax there also along with real winters. This is just to freaking annoying. I guess I understand this feeling.  I used to live in one of the premier spots in the country, but 80 degrees at Christmas is annoying after a few decades  I didn't surf anymore, so I got sick of the sun.  I got to where I hated the sun.  I am still not too fond of it, but can enjoy a nice summer day here.  

 

You know what?  You are doing the right thing.  Moving from the climate I hated was the best thing I could have ever done.  Often when I am driving I still get surprised I ended up living in my dream location.  BTW- It was year long sunshine and beaches, but I was done surfing and fishing was almost non-existent unless you paid.  Plus, I really started to hate crowds of people.  Bainbridge is too crowded for me.

 

Moving should be done by anyone who hates the climate and can afford to do so.   Life is a short MF.

 

I love snow.  But if I had to deal with t all winter long, I wouldn't.  This place is perfect for me.  Good luck in Idaho.

SO THERE IS A CHANCE

Olympics are gonna eat it all up for Central/South sound.

[Thurston Howell III]

SO THERE IS A CHANCE

Yes, same odds as Dumb and Dumber.  There is a chance!

[luvssnow_spokane]

Olympics are gonna eat it all up for Central/South sound.

^^^ THIS.... TRUTH!

[Thurston Howell III]

Beat me to it

[MossMan]

Snowing hard again.

[luvssnow_spokane]

Snowing hard again.

Okay... we get it. You live in the best and most snowiest place ever 

[Chowders]

Alright... Someone in the South Sound pissed off the weather gods and now we are all getting screwed.

 

Through 4AM Thursday, we are about the only place in the entirety of Western WA that does not get more than 2 inches.

 

[Blizzard777]

Get ready because me and you are having a snow plow war.

As I stated last year I can just feel the adrenaline energy coming out of you!!! 

enjoy the goods tonight! 

[runninthruda206]

From that Jaya tweet and the NWS model blend I think Seattle could still get a few inches. But anything below SeaTac wouldn’t get more than a trace. Kinda crazy how this is setup. I’m just hoping udist gets in on the moderate-heavy snow

SEA was a few degrees warmer than most Seattle area stations today. BFI topped out at 33.

The blend model does show most of King County getting 2 inches will see

I hate snow to as I’m standing at the window at 1:30 am looking at a streetlamp

^^^^ DITTO!

I really don’t care for that logic 

[BLI snowman]

It would appear that the south wind line today stopped basically at SEA. Which is why there was some convergence much of the day right over Seattle.

[MossMan]

You guys!! You cannot beat 26 degree heavy snow!

 

Can you tell I’m excited.

[Blizzard777]

32.5

I'm ready just in case I get some rebel precipitation that does not conform to the laws of Mother Nature.

[wxmet]

Olympics will eat everything. I hope I am wrong but that is the sad truth.
