Really coming down out there! 
Rain that is! Thoug the temp is down to 38 now. 
.70” on the day so far. 

Not often you see rain while PDX has snow. 

[umadbro]

32 and moderate snow now. Everything is white. I’ll take pics in a couple hours.

Chris seems to kill it in marginal situations. Way more than you'd expect for someone so close to the coast.

Chehalis Gap, although tonight is more due to dead gradients and a chillier airmass with heavy precip like down south.

[lowlandsnow]

At face value the GEFS would bring the coldest temps both Portland and Seattle have seen since 1989

And yet, somehow SEA pulled off over 8" of snow for the third winter in a row.

Last time that happened? 1970-73.

That’s crazy. I can literally see the control tower from my street. I’ll never get over it!!

It’s not really that far off from the other models. If anything it’s finally falling into line.

No way Seattle has a high in the teens, I was laughing at that.

[Doinko]

Couple miles to the north it's sticking at 400 feet around. Still a mix here

[RayRay]

The company I work at in Redmond Wa warned of inclement weather over the next few days.

I thought for sure you'd change over by now with those waves of moisture coming down the strait. Probably will happen still soon though.

It’s really dumping down and after taking a flashlight through the window check it does appear like some lumps are in there. Temp down to 37.9. 
This is the level of moisture I would love to see with the arctic front on Thursday! 

[luvssnow_spokane]

WOW!! Looking pretty active over there tonight! 

[Ken in Wood Village]

First snow fall of the season 🌨

I would think they would need deep snow cover to make that happen.

Finally got a road cam in my part of the world. Snowing here, too!

And when it's windy from the south and totally dry here.   North Bend just bumped up to 42.

[Blizzard777]

I’m pretty sure everyone is deep in the snow gig and the windstorm is a distant memory!  Lol, I got out there and enjoyed some time being sandblasted.  Waves were incredible as well,  Halibut Fish & Chips to finish the day adventure!  I now return you to your regular schedule snow event and I need to get caught up !  Brother just sent me photo of it snowing in Damascus Or

[FroYoBro]

Good news is that the power came back on. Bad news is that the deck light revealed more rain. Just too much southerly wind here it seems. 

[GHweatherChris]

Mostly snow now, just a tad too warm to stick but still nice to see!

Lol gfs spitting out some comical numbers  

Ensembles are colder at least over here.

FWIW Michael Snyder pointed in his video tonight that the NAM is also showing that second storm that the GFS is showing and he thinks it will go farther north. So not all hope is lost for Puget Sound yet. Hopefully the Euro tonight can show that too.

[TT-SEA]

00Z ECMWF snow through tomorrow morning.  

[Doinko]

I think I'm right on the border between the south wind and the snow, this is about 4 miles to my north

Yeah we are protected from the south wind here. Sticking nicely but I’m not sure how much juice this has. I doubt we get anything close to the 4” the euro has. 

[Deweydog]

MIL SNOW!

[GHweatherChris]

Big flakes, stickage has begun!!  But radar says it will be short lived but who cares, awesome!!

Base of sylvan hill here and had fat flakes during that deluge last 20-30mins. Not much stickage and precip rates slowed considerably now. Temp sure dropped like a rock last couple hours tho from 40 to 34

Precip loop for Thursday.

Given the trajectory of this initial air mass, will probably be drier than most Arctic fronts. But we'll see.

[OysterPrintout]

Apparently some snow in downtown according to Zaffino....still 90% rain here a mere mile away

[BLI snowman]

 

First snow at the new house!! Piling up fast!

A little more snow falls after 7pm

[TT-SEA]

Initial look shows ECMWF will be right between its 00Z run last night and its 12Z run this morning.

A little north of 12Z run and a little south of 00Z run.

ECMWF still coming in south on Friday... and still way south of GFS.
