No, I tried last year to get it online but kept having connectivity issues for some reason. I think the one you see is about a quarter mile north of me so our numbers should be quite comparable. One difference is that they are nearly 50’ lower in elevation and pretty treeless in a newer small development just to the left of my arrow. they always have less snow than me during marginal events. 1 1 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.

TT-SEA Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 This is why a bad ice storm is unlikely. The ECMWF is much more reliable with precip amounts and temps during freezing rain event are marginal for significant accumulation.

TT-SEA Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 That being said... I am certain schools will be delayed or closed Wednesday out here because the school district won't want to risk it.

the_convergence_zone Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I have no doubt that Seattle will see freezing rain up until the warm front passes through on Wednesday morning. So around 1/3” of ice (assuming it all freezes which it won’t). I’m sure schools will close and most people will stay home, by the evening it should be fine. The good news is that the warmup will be quick and widespread so this doesn’t look like it will be a disaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you’re right but others have said the models tend to scour out the low level cold air too fast. I think that would be especially true by the foothills. That said, maybe the east winds will eat into our precip… something I hate during snow but would love here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temps starting out with this event versus December 2022. Is a big difference. Rain started at 24 degrees here. Would be closer to freezing at the start this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanis Leach Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Assuming the 23 is the highest today, that's the 2nd record cold high in a row (old record 24 in 1950). Tomorrow's record cold high is 28 in 2017. I think we can kiss that one goodbye. Tomorrow's record low is 19 (the warmest record low in January). That's also in serious danger. Another 0.1 inch of snow makes this month contain 1.7 inches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
