Pretty cool to watch the battle between the incoming low pressure system and the cold arctic continental air. Going to be a helluva storm for those where these meet.
 

What a beauty!

Snowing pretty good here now... but radar shows it might be lifting north soon.    Still 35 degrees.

Yeah letting up here…flow looks like it’s turning more westerly.

Latest HRRR likes the idea of CZ snow this evening from north Seattle to Tacoma.

Going to be a super close call at my house lol 

With the flow like this sometimes the moisture creeps up the east side of the Olympics pretty good.

And it also stretches clear over to the Olympics and that is very rare.

Wow. 1.25" of ice in Eugene would be a nightmare. I'm a beaver so usually I'm supposed to not feel sympathy for the ducks but I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy

Looks like Arctic front just hit BLI.

Not sure I’m just tracking where the north and south winds are meeting. 

Is that how all fronts work up there? Sometimes our fronts only have a subtle wind shift but very large dewpoint drop.

edit: though in this case I can see why there’d be a switch to NE winds with the actual front.

15z SREF ensembles for the low Saturday evening.

This Arctic air is rushing in, This aint no trickle.

Need to get out and shhhhooooovvvvvve that thing north about 20 miles

[MikeInEverett]

Liking the look of the radar right now. Things have picked up and looks like a dusting at home now. Screw the HRRR

[Phishy Wx]

if it's going to be dry, let's clear out, drop the wind and challenge some records

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Oroville gusting over 40 already.

Typical of our beastly airmasses. That severely cold air rolls down terrain like a boulder.

Lots of gray.

That looks nice for East King

[TT-SEA]

I think this is coating number 6 for the week?  If we could have avoided melting each day we might have something.

Very reminiscent of last year for me. 18 days of snow for 16 inches. A lot of traces and half inches Still nice to have snow

That happened here over the last 20 minutes... totally stopped now though.   

[MikeInEverett]

Apparently it’s 39 degrees at home so we wouldn’t get much out of what’s coming down right now. Worried this will be our only precip and then it’ll be too dry by the time it actually gets cold enough.

[Front Ranger]

You can see a small convergence zone now on radar sinking south with the actual Arctic front just south and east of Bellingham.

[TacomaWx]

Definitely has that chilly look to it. 

[Phil]

If the arctic front is up @ BLI I guess that’s just a low level dry pocket west of Mr. Vernon then?

Interesting. So many microclimatic quirks.
