But you have commentary on what you think will happen all time!   None of us know anything for sure though.   Except maybe Matt.   He is a crystal ball.  

I dunno what the f*ck is gonna happen.

[PuyallupChris]

Here in Puyallup I see a really interesting cloud formation sweeping across the Sumner valley. Has been sunny and 40 for a while.

Strangely that southern c-zone is lifting north again.    Snowing a little harder here but don't think it will last too much longer.  

I noticed that. Just north of me but keeps pulling back NE

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

One day it would be nice if it snowed 6 feet

[TT-SEA]

I mentioned the other day someplace around port angles would get a foot. It will happen i bet. I thought that would sag south with the front but it looks like it will stay.

Yeah... that is pure upslope on the Olympics up there.   Don't think that band can move south.   Best hope is more forms to the south this evening in different c-zones.

[MossMan]

I cannot even begin to describe how disappointing this is…

Currently 29 with a DP of 25…Yay.

20° with a dew point of 7° on the border. Gusts to 42mph.

Should be in the teens by 5pm.

Should have waited 5 minutes. 19° just past 4:30.

Absolutely puking snow here on tiger mountain. Really want to get home. I’ve been stuck not even moving in my car for 45 minutes now 

One of my FB friends posted this !

I know we are still capable of a January 1950 type setup…Just needs to fricken happen. Right now I’m having major 2013-17 flashbacks where nothing went our way up here.

How much snow did you have in February 2017?

This is our pay back for all the snow we have had the last few years, don't worry we will get em later.

[Olive1010]

God, it’ll be sad when all these puddles and water freeze up once the arctic front comes in and it leads to ice 

[snow_wizard]

So much for the no snow WRF.   Not sure if the 12z finally woke up or not.

[lowlandsnow]

Euro seems to suggest some snow will move south by 10

Despite the frustration of being too far South when that happens, that’s a good sign overall. The longer the front can stall the longer there will be potential for snow into the evening/night.

And it's the stingiest of the models too.

Couple of inches on the 6th, unfortunately it was almost gone the next day.

Frustrating watching that line over I-90 refuse to budge 

[GHweatherChris]

Does anyone have an updated image of where the boundary is currently draping?

[T-Town]

Here it comes. 

[LowerGarfield]

Sidewalks and road are white all of a suddent...coming down pretty good and just dropped below freezing. At 31.8F now.

Just about toTacoma 

[the_convergence_zone]

Winter 23-24, we will never forget you. 

[Cold Snap]

Coming down hard at the exit to 148th on 520.

I don't think the front has stalled though.    SEA is down to 34 with a north wind at 15.

I know how to check dew points.... I am talking about updated one with the front position on the map itself, someone posted it earlier.

Yeah the arctic air is so shallow that the CZ doesn’t seem to care. The “arctic front” went right under it.

I am not sure it was totally wrong.   It showed the snow up around Everett and out here.   I don't see much snow on the ground around the Seattle area.   

[bainbridgekid]

Everett down to 28 degrees at 4:35. Legit.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

This would of been nuts with a low out there off Vancouver island with this airmass.  One day.

[lowlandsnow]

Precip at 10 pm much more than the EURO

[ShawniganLake]

26F with light snow here.

Yeah it was a trace around here so it wouldn’t show up on a WRF map.

How so?

I think he doesn't know how good Mark is. Sometimes people forget how good he actually is  

I actually think there is going to be a battle zone in the Portland area. It's going to be the clash of two air masses. Cold dry air and warm moist air. The combination of the two with the strong winds will stir the atmosphere to give us convection which should produce more precipitation. At least that's my theory. We'll see 🌨

Back in those days, I would root against you because I was in a phase where I hated snow and I lived in Stanwood then. I'd always complain to my wife that 'the nerds on this website were talking about a snowstorm and the guy who lives near us is supposed to get a lot of snow.' I'd also request days off in the clown range to avoid working on snow days but that usually didn't work.

That would include the snow that has fallen in the last hour out here.

This is the map from now through 11 p.m.
