Any snow in Olympia?

Our chance for some flakeage should come in the next couple hours as the north end of the band kind of pivots slightly north.

I am in Yelm and have nothing. I can still see the foothills to the south of me. When those get obscured, then something is comin.

Yeah this low is gonna need to put in some work this afternoon for us to crank up the accumulations. I am probably in the 1.25-1.5 inch range right now and there is a lot more sleet now, maybe 50% sleet falling. 

Hopefully mid levels start to cool soon. 

We just switched back from 80% sleet to 100% snow again. If the mid levels manage to really cool off before that juicy stuff arrives, 8-12 inches doesn't seem that crazy for much of the metro.

You got PAE by chance?

Some ice pellets but mostly ice crusted snow here. Have heard them on the skylight except for a brief time this morning. Conditions were absolutely epic when I took a walk. Trees creaking and even a few booms/crack in the wind.

Lighter now but hopefully picks up and is mostly snow later today.

10 in Happy Valley and 9 in the West Hills in the middle of the day. This winter storm is one for the ages!

Looks like it’s creeping towards you on radar. Looks like some more solid radar returns.

Why do I feel so sad and disappointed that the temp is all the way up to 18 degrees now? I would have killed for mid 20’s just a few days ago. Something serious wrong with me

Enjoying a little outdoor fire now. 

After I saw Jesse's weenie on my post where I was complaining about my 7.5 degree low I realized the same thing.  It must be a reaction to having no snow.  Low temps are all you have to savor. 18 here now too.

LAMELY it is not gonna happen, just LAME!!

[Sandy rocks]

Sleet has mixed in here at times, temperature keeps falling. I just saw a large branch break off a tree behind my house.

Still a decent bit of sleet mixing in right now, hopefully we go back to mostly snow here soon

Negatory, ghost rider.

Puking sleet out here. Really too bad this isn’t all snow.

Looks like it should 

[The Blob]

I think I've bottomed out at 13. I want more cold, but I doubt we can go farther.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pretty nuts out there. We are closing in on about an inch of sleet.

Link? 

[Olive1010]

It's sleeting 

[Rustysprocket]

Are we expecting the upper levels to cool off?  That heavier band is crossing Newberg at the moment, looks somewhat juicy behind it too. 

[FroYoBro]

Getting some pretty heavy sleet action right now. Hoping it changes back to snow after 2pm or so.

I was just watching that stream, some guy's car hood came off and flew off down the hill from those gusts. Completely wild out there.

Maybe if we have a clear night. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Strong looking storm on the sat loop, looks like it's picking up steam.

[Timmy]

Back to sleet here. Looks like dippin dots

[GobBluth]

I will never doubt the NAM precip type profile after this one.

[Perturbed Member]

Good looking system

Kayla will probably be opening windows when it gets up to 20.  

Honestly once it gets above zero we just might! Looking like our “high” for the day is gonna be -21F.

If we could get that precip shield a bit further north.

This was the snow total for the whole event that the 06z NAM showed right before the precip hit. I have about 2 inches right now, which is a bit more than 0. I think the NAM failed pretty miserably with this. 

That being said, I'm 90% sleet now...

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Holy crap it's down to 19 at Albany!

I meant half an inch-inch

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Hahaha in that Snyder video at crown pt the wind blew the hood off a car there hahaha

[Sandy rocks]

I have to say these winds are something fierce. Very strong even here in Sandy. I can't imagine how they would be in Troutdale or the Gorge. Very powerful storm. We will be lucky to keep our power, already briefly went out.
