Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.

I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight. The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d

Just had a very intense snow shower move through. Looks like it's wrapping up, but it ended up dropping about 0.5" with some truly massive snowflakes up over 2" in diameter. It was hard to measure dep

It’s so funny to watch the cells look like they are heading towards me only to change direction and slide just to the north of me. It’s like there’s a force field around Duvall.

Why is this place so dead? I feel like we're having a pretty interesting week of weather!

 

21 degrees here currently, I'll bet on low or mid teens tonight. 

 

You should totally be excited at 4,000ft; mountains and foothills are gonna score big time! ❄️ 

This upcoming pattern seems to be cold mixed showers at best for us PDX lowlanders; when Mark takes off the snow tires I generally start looking toward Spring 🤷🏻‍♂️

I forget if Mark still had his snow tires on in April 2022? He must have.

I keep wondering when it will be north King's turn. Maryville area looks like a winner tonight. 

North King got hit pretty good in the Jan 2020 one. Besides the one there was towards the end of last March, it seems like North King county has not done well with snow CZ’s.

Looks like just north of Everett up through Arlington are the big winners at the moment. My old place is probably getting nailed. 
I’m getting scattered scraps up here.

00z GFS drops some snow for the Puget Sound in the long range. It's basically a lock at this point!

00z GFS DUMPS snow on the mountains. QPF map gives a better perspective because the snow map only goes up to 60".snku_acc-imp.us_nw.thumb.png.219d8935eea2cc8bd16464e184009f9d.pngqpf_acc-imp.us_nw.thumb.png.35fc833ee82a276ea2213d30fab361c5.png

FWIW the 00z NAM showed precip as the AR starts and ends as snow in some places.

How many lumens??

Good question! Not sure, however it does have a custom tape for the power button complete with arrows to show where said worn out button is. Too many on and off’s since 2017 when it actually started snowing again. 
I should pull out my big gun and try it sometime! Need to charge it, can pretty much light up my 5 acres lol
