If we pull an inch out of this band in Seattle, I'll consider the last two weeks worth it.

Consolation snow!

32 here! Light snow now! 

I can now report that there are some light flurries here as well.  Kind of weird though, there are broken clouds overhead.  Must be wringing every bit of moisture out of them.

Snowing sideways in Seattle.

Fwiw the 00z RGEM (which stands for Resplendent Godlike Excellent Model) is improved 

The RGEM put out some insane precip totals with some crazy freezing rain and sleet totals

I’d be good with this, I’m not greedy

Still looking like quite the ice storm for Eugene.

OMG if that really happens.  I would much rather be dry than have that.  MUCH RATHER.

Couple miles north of you. Should get heavier as the moisture moves south.

Snow seemed to have stopped here for now. Sure hope it picks up a bit again. 

Radar is juicing up nicely.  Should be very soon.

Has @ShawniganLake reported in? Seems like Victoria area has been seeing nice echoes for awhile.

Welcome to a soon-to-be-fortunate new member

Temperature here has been falling like a rock since 6:30pm. It's because the winds are coming from the WNW now.

Honestly, that looks pretty accurate with what some local meteorologists said: "The more snow you get, depends on how close you are to the gorge, the east winds."

D**n these meso models are all over the place just goes to show how hard it would be to be an accurate forecaster. GRAF has 1" of precip good for....5.3" of snow with temps in the teens. Euro gets that number with half the qpf.

Really interesting when you look around the Seattle area... from 520 northward it looks like its pretty dry.    The radar shows heavy precip over Ballard where my son lives but he said its just a few flakes there.   But south of I-90 it looks much wetter.   Also looks like its snowing West Seattle.

Been checking the highway cams and Bainbridge Island is capitalizing on it pretty nicely. Would be quite pleased now if I still lived there.

My wife had to go Downtown Vancouver for an appointment. She was on the 1pm ferry thinking she’d be there at 330.  She just arrived 4 hrs late.

Seems a little ahead of schedule. It’s usually no more than an 8-10 hour trek from here once it hits the lower basin.

That band I hoped would expand a bit north over me has decided I am not worthy of snow. 

Really?  Coming down nice here on Bainbridge.  Over 1/2” so far.

Only needs to trend north about 3 more counties! 

Oh come on share the wealth!!!!  How about 5 more counties???

Hard to say since I think it’s super low level. Yakima still has strong downslope winds but a dew point of 12.

[Blizzard777]

Winds Nnw at 5-10  gusting 15 

Blowing snow but not in a rowdy way

Really quirky where its snowing and where its not under those bands on the radar.   The 520 bridge looks like its right in the middle of the c-zone but the road is dry.   It looks lighter on radar over West Seattle but snowing good there.

Temperatures on the Eastside of Washington are in the teens and single digits and one is below zero

Sleetapolooza. 

Don't love the trend on all models for a sharper mid level warm layer around midday Saturday. Hope is that they're eroding the cold aloft a little too aggressively. Would be great to not waste too much precious QPF on those lame little ice balls.
