February 2024 Weather in the PNW

[SouthHillFrosty]

Mostly snow in a rain/snow mix in South Hill

[snow_wizard]

Obviously the GFS is on crack in the ridiculous amounts of snow it's showing for some places.  For example it shows Hoquiam will have 5.2 inches two hours from now.  That having been said I still think that area and west of Puget Sound will do pretty well.

I'm thinking T to 1 inch for east of Puget Sound.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

25 degrees, got 4.5 inches today. Precip should be done for a while but we might get occasional light stuff.

Liking the reports I’m hearing down south. Is the yellow over you yet?

[The Cats Meow]

Rain snow mix in the Puyallup Valley.

[skywatcher]

Winds are cranking non-stop here. 40mph gusts and consistent 20-30mph sustained winds. Pretty fun wind night.

[Timmy]

About a 1/2” of slushy snow here

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Some of the strongest east wind here in probably 15 years. East wind is very rare here. The Olympic mountain obs I watch for snow here is already at 30. It will snow here soon.

[MossMan]

Looks pretty intense just offshore! 

[MossMan]

Not even the slightest breeze here. 

[Margaritaville]

Winter storm warning now, bust guaranteed 

[Blizzard777]

Ok then

wet snow federal way …wow! 
40*

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Haha winter storm warning issued for here now. 2-6 with higher amounts possible.  It has been shown this for 3 days. There should of been a watch and a warning. Remember last night models looked the same and there was zero snow in forecast. NWS is a fukking joke.

No it doesn't, it pretty much shows a changover over in 2 hours from now realistically.

Looks like it’s almost here, down to 38 and it’s almost all snow. Will be interesting later tonight with heavier precip to see what happens.

This one might be magical,  everything might work out. Things are changing fast now.

Huge wet snowflakes in Bonney Lake. This could possibly be an interesting storm.

Literally a garbage model, it jumped from dry solution to wet solution back to dry solution.

[TacomaWx]

Huge flakeage! 

[Weiner Warrior]

Pretty sure it's going to rain for everyone.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Just some light rain and 40 here with BSF. PDX hanging tough at 39 with that east wind cranking. Looks like a chilly 41/35 day at SLE. 

[SnowWillarrive]

Light snow starting here

Already failed to verified with snow being reported in Tacoma and Bonney lake. Both in the 0 on that map.

[Timmy]

Temp down to 32 here now. For what it’s worth the gfs has been more accurate for this event so far

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Holy fukk it just started snowing here, light dry snowing falling and blowing around at 39 freaking degrees. I've always said never underestimate offshore dry flow. I was started to loose confidence but I never ever thought it would start as snow here I figured we'd have some rain  at first. This is going to be a big event here tonight.
