Don't think any of this is accumulating anyway

My wife is in Everett (East side of I-5) and she said it’s sticking there. 

[Blizzard777]

She’s clipping along swiftly!

Well good news for the WRF because that is the one area it shows snow.

Maybe go outside and build a snowman to take your mind off the weather models?

Yeah I don’t want to be hyperbolic, but this seems like a 1968 lite 

Probably not hyperbolic at all. Could very well end up the most impressive backdoor blast since then.

[Phishy Wx]

NWS Spokane in their morning discussion said they thought the models were being too aggressive with arrival of front, but looks like its right on schedule if not early

Down to -15 in Prince George. 2 in K Falls @Timmy Supercell

I noticed as well 6-8 inches snow fell there, city school district had a snow day yesterday.

One of the cocorahs sites hasn't been up for a year or so, but another one closer to where I had the house was able to match what locals are saying.

That is incredible.   And somehow in this go around Seattle gets nothing as opposed to being buried alive.

Through Sunday...

It shows no snow over the olympics and its snowing up there right now and will be all day with all those showers off the coast.

It's not ever yet. Let's see what happens.

I'm thinking those with snow cover are colder and break some records, those without tie or above

I don’t have the bandwidth to track things up there, but I also think Saturday’s system isn’t entirely resolved at this point.

So close yet so far away…Stuff nightmares are made of. I’m so freaking disappointed right now. 

You and me both brother.

[TacomaWx]

Starting to snow decently here now with phat phlakes. We will see if we get some stickage soon. Trying to freeze protect and drain the water treatment systems as low as we can before the deep freeze hits.

Dew point of 25 here. Anything on radar out here is not making it to the ground.

It shows MBY getting nothing despite all of {ECMWF, GFS, GEM, NAM 3km, HRDPS} saying otherwise.

Love the look on radar right now, just need that arctic front to bump it a bit south. My kid is home sick today and wants to see snow!!! 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Does anyone know how November 1985 went down? i remember the heavy snow in Puget sound was nor forecasted at all that morning and we got 14 inches. I think a surprise low developed off Vancouver island on the edge of the arctic trough?

[Groundhog]

This was at 7:50am here in Mission, BC facing ESE towards Chilliwack—towards the Arctic front. Not a puff of wind at that time. Outflow started 1/2 hour later.

1968, 2004 was not this cold in sw bc was it?

This will be nowhere close to as cold as Dec 1968 at the surface for SW BC.  The Fraser outflow was off the charts with that.  Abbotsford had a 2/-1 day followed by a 5/-4 day.

That's not the actual front is it?

[Phishy Wx]

wind just shifted from SW to NW here.  front must be approaching

[Deweydog]

I’ll at least take a stab at PDX:

Fri: 39/22

Sat: 22/16

Sun: 26/18

[Chewbacca Defense]

Really glad I went out and bought 6 gallons of milk, 12 loaves of bread and 8 dozen eggs, not sure how long it will take for us to dig out of this one.

Yeahhhhh... see that gap between the convergence to the north around Everett and the convergence north of Seattle? Yeah that is my house. So awesome

The Nov 2010 blast had unforecasted snow as well with the surface low that developed off the olympics.

with snowcover?

how does that line up historically? 

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF through tomorrow morning.

I would be surprised, KBLI is still showing winds out of the NW, and no major DP drop yet.

[TT-SEA]

For this area out here... some of that has already happened per the ECMWF.   And it didn't actually happen.

Still hasn’t come through here yet. Sitting at 21 and snow is letting up.

I'm hoping the front today can make something happen for you guys up there. Even a light accumulation of snow going into the cold makes a nice difference.

Just seems to be coming along sooner than I thought.  Wasn't it supposed to hit seattle around 5pm?  Looks like it would get here early afternoon.  

[ShawniganLake]

It was probably mentioned but it’s been impossible to keep.  Ukmet has a nice trough digging down the coast next week.  Nice snow event up around the border.

We got about what this shows.
