February 2024 Weather in the PNW

[MikeInEverett]

Woke up to moderate snow still falling! Looks like about 2” here. I’ve seen reports of areas a mile or two south of me with better elevation reaching a total of 4-5”. This is a classic nighttime convergence zone snow event!

[Everleigh]

I've got bupkis in Yelm. We dodged every single shower that rolled through yesterday, except one tiny graupel shower that was so quick, it was over by the time I grabbed my phone to report it on mPING. lol

The north sound PCSZ was a thing of beauty. Seeing reports of some folks getting 2” or more in Everett. 

[MossMan]

30.9 and light snow.

 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

26.3˚F and light frost.

[Chewbacca Defense]

Had a couple of snow/graupel showers swing through overnight

[Tyler Mode]

15 degrees and 40+ mph wind gusts but looks beautiful at Paradise this morning!

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

5:40 AM PST Tuesday 27 February 2024

A wintry mix of precipitation is expected.

Where: Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

When: Late this afternoon through Wednesday, potentially impacting the evening commute.

Remarks:

A weather system brings a wintry mix of precipitation to the Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley late this afternoon through Wednesday.

Snow levels will be hovering near sea level and precipitation will start as wet snow or rain mixed with snow late this afternoon. Snowfall accumulations are expected to vary greatly with elevation and proximity to the water. Precipitation rate will also determine how quickly it'll transition to snow and cool the ground.

With a warming southwesterly flow aloft, snow levels will rise overnight resulting in mixed precipitation changing to moderate to heavy rain overnight or early Wednesday. During this transition, there is also a risk of freezing rain over the Fraser Valley as warm air overrides the cold air at the surface.

Moderate to heavy precipitation will ease across the region late Wednesday with the passage of the system.

Warnings may be issued as the event draws closer and as confidence in the snowfall accumulation improve. Please continue to check the weather forecasts, and be prepared for changing weather conditions.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

Models kind of let you down on this one.  Good thing you took your Christmas lights down.

And looking at the school reports it appears my old house did better as they are running 2hrs late. The only one up in my general area. 

[Phishy Wx]

WWA for up to 3" tonight

[MossMan]

Radar shows nothing over my house but it’s snowing pretty good! 

[ShawniganLake]

26F.  Snow looked good last night under clear skies and a bright moon.  
 

NAM suggests a lot of areas will see a little snow on the back side of the front tomorrow night.

That looks nice for most of Puget Sound and lower mainland. 

Woke up to a frosty morning. My dusting from last night intact. 

[Slushy Inch]

I have a serious flashlight fetish. Inherited from dad and his dad. 

Omg we are new best friends! I do too, I have a imalant ms18

 2 years ago it was the world's Brightest flashlight at 100k lumens.  Has a built in fan. I can't explain how bright it is, but it has more light than a 50 inch light bar on a truck. I would mail it to you to play with.

It was 600 bux

3” of graupel? Lulz.

[TT-SEA]

Couple pics from son on his commute to Paine Field area.   He said it was interesting on I-5 in Seattle with so many snow covered cars heading southbound and no snow on the cars heading north.

Last night?   Looks like less than an inch.    The main band came through right at sunset and coated everything again... there wasn't much more after that.    Schools are on time and operating normal out here today.

Absolutely beautiful morning in Everett. Ended up with three inches on elevated surfaces and trees gloriously flocked like as if they were out of a 19th century painting. Dark sky to the north and a pink sky to the south.

Might be some serious elevation gain in there... not sure.  

[Cascadia_Wx]

Ended up with a chilly 44/34 spread here yesterday. Mostly cloudy with showers and some late sunbreaks. A band of wet snow in the late morning dropped a slushy coating. Had some frost in the evening when it cleared out.

A low overcast and 36 this morning, hit 34 shortly after midnight.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I feel good about the upcoming potential. 

[Weiner Warrior]

PLEASE!!!

[bainbridgekid]

Ended up with 2.5" in South Everett near Paine Field. Reports of 4-5" just a few miles North of me which makes sense based on the radar last night. Takes my seasonal snowfall to 5.5". Really pretty morning.

Haha this is how well i know you, when i posted that i thought Tim will say something like well 10 miles east of me there is 50 inches.  Not exactly the same but same idea.

[T-Town]

Flurrying here. Wasn’t expecting that.
