Cloud Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Wow. That is exactly what I was saying last week. There is a little snow on the ground somewhere. Shut it down!Ahh. So there was a follow-up tweet... tomorrow happen to be their typical early release day anyway, so they didn’t want to do a 2-hr delay. Plus the chance of snow. Guess it make sense. Kinda?

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 What’s weird is that it’s so cold here yet within about 24 hours it will be raining and melting. The cold can hold on for a bit up against the Coast Mountains and particularly in the eastern Fraser Valley, but Bellingham is perfectly placed to get the mild marine air the moment the wind shifts. It will be as sudden and dramatic exiting the arctic blast as it was entering it.And then with one little meso low if you get any drainage the temp will fall immediately. Always had fascinated me through the years. Our weather would be much different here without that frasor canyon. Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow.

Skagit Weather Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 4.5" today makes it the snowiest day here since February 2011! Just over 1.5" since I got home at 7 p.m. and snowing lightly with my current high for the day of 25.6F. Seeing the 30s just a couple miles south of me definitely scares me, though. As the temp warms my snow is continuing to compact. 5 Quote Home Wx Station Stats (Since January 2008): Max Temp: 96.3F (2009) Min Temp: 2.0F (2008) Max Wind Gust: 45 mph (2018, 2021) Wettest Day: 2.34 (11/4/22) Avg Yearly Precip: 37" 10yr Avg Snow: 8.0" Snowfall Totals '08-09: 30" | '09-10: 0.5" | '10-11: 21" | '11-12: 9.5" | '12-13: 0.2" | '13-14: 6.2" | '14-15: 0.0" | '15-16: 0.25"| '16-17: 8.0" | '17-18: 0.9"| '18-19: 11.5" | '19-20: 11" | '20-21: 10.5" | '21-22: 21.75" | '22-23: 10.0" 2023-24: 7.0" (1/17: 3", 1/18: 1.5", 2/26: 0.5", 3/4: 2.0", Flakes: 1/11, 1/16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 And yet... it still shows some snow tomorrow afternoon while temps are in the mid to upper 30s. Low dewpoints must be the reason.

TT-SEA Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 ECMWF shows low 40s even up to Bellingham by Thursday. As was mentioned... the switch in Bellingham usually happens very quickly since they are so exposed and a SE wind is downsloping up there.

ShawniganLake Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Still quite snowy in Victoria, steady around 26F.

BLI snowman Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Looks like it's pretty much over for Seattle although you have to wonder if it ever really began Yeah, ultimately this week wound up being a Snohomish County-north event, with some spottier 1-2" totals south of that and a whole lot of nothing else. Pretty epic failure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son came home from UW in Seattle today to see our snow and also to go skiing. And to scold his mother for being such a wimp with winter driving. Seems like yesterday when I was out sledding with him as a little kid. He was fascinated by snow even at a very young age. Has never changed.

I’d guess only about 2.5” here. It's hard to tell how much fell this evening vs the earlier in the day (~2.5" fell in the morning/early afternoon), but I'm guessing about 5~6" so far this evening based on recently cleared road. Noticing a lot of icicles on the street lights, something I haven't seen much of in other recent snowfalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverFallsAndrew Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Glad to see Bellingham and Victoria score though. In 50 years when weenies are discussing the roaring 20s and how epic the winter weather turned in the PNW they will mention it got off to an inauspicious start in 2020 with a regional dud. "BUT!" Someone will chime in. "There was a brief, but intense Frasier River blast in mid-January."
