Not really.  The thing that makes me hesitant to call early March spring is the fact we've had some big snow and cold events through March 10 or so.

Conflicting reports.  

[Tyler Mode]

37 here with mostly rain, ended February with 5.04" and 28.55" for winter (DJF), my wettest ever.  Definitely wasn't expecting that during an El Nino.

[T-Town]

36.3 here this morning. Looks like a pretty good blob of moisture heading this way. Hopefully it holds together and gives us some flakes. 

[Ellsworb]

Small craft advisory and unfavorable wind/wave/tide conditions for our intended fishing spots means we cancelled our planned blackmouth fishing for today's opener.  Looks like tomorrow may be equally poor.  Might have to wait till Wednesday to tap in to our first Chinook of 2024.  34 degress with intermittet rain and the ever occassional snowflake mixed in on the east shore of lake tapps.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Some showers of slushy rain this morning.

[snow maniac]

Snowed off and on all night but never accumulated. Lame

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Snowed. A lot… 

[TT-SEA]

Looking at the radar loop from overnight it appears there was some activity out here at times but there is no snow on the ground and its just wet out there.

ECMWF shows the most solid band of moisture over the next 3 days coming through today... but right in the middle of the afternoon.

Looked promising, amounted to squat. 

[snow maniac]

Wow this batch of moisture turned everything white and dropped my temp to 32 down from 35

[Dave]

36 degrees with what looks like a decent blob of heavy moisture heading for Eugene. There's a good chance of flakes.

Jesus. We wrote the same thing. Hope it works out.

I woke up early to check up on the snow chances. It might not work out so I'm watching Twister for the tenth time. If anyone wants a link. Let me know. It is free and no registration or anything like that is required but sometimes it'll fucck up.

Yeah, overall I didn’t really expect much last night. Maybe another night over the next few days will work out but I’d expect more of the same mostly. slightly too warm and not heavy enough precip. On my drive to work in snoqualmie this morning the only place I saw snow on the ground was tiger mountain. Even here at 900’ we’re just below the accumulating snowfall line. 

[HoodCanalBridge]

A few flakes mixed in but mostly rain on the commute into work passing through port gamble

Same and all the original star war movies among many others. I'll just put the link out in case anyone is bored. I've never had an issue with the site but having an ad blocker is probably for the best.

Too warm unfortunately, not a huge surprise though in a SW flow regime. Temps look consistent in the next few days so I expect the same result. Ended the winter with a half inch of snow. Maybe next year!

With several rounds of potential overnight precip coming the next few days I wouldn’t be surprised if atleast one night did work out for some people. Still a chance. For the most part though…the next few days the only people who are probably going to be scoring big are the typical favored spots.

The NWS Portland is finally saying that some accumulations are possible down here for the next several days. I for the first time in quite a while am trusting them more than the crappy GFS and Euro. They've been horrible lately.

You guys in Oregon seem to do pretty good with early spring snowfalls based on recent years. Your odds are probably a little higher than ours up this way…but I haven’t extensively looked into the models like I normally would. Just been checking the precip maps…925mb temps and surface temps here occasionally.

Snow line is fairly high on Mt Si this morning.

Isn't that a pirating website? Did you really just post an illegal pirating website, to here? Jeez...

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

24 degrees here now, low of 23. We picked up an inch of snow last night, and mt bachelor is up to 114". Thought the mountains would get more snow out of this, snow totals have been a little disappointing. 

[Roman-Dallas Snow-Zone]

Absolutely massive snow flakes dumping!! 

[MossMan]

Temp down to 34 from 36 at 5am. 
A mix currently. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like about 3.5” since midnight.

Bizzare how much higher the snow line is compared to here. Snowline is like 200’ higher here I’d guess. Looks like it’s over 2000’ on Si. 

[MossMan]

To give an idea of the successful areas overnight…

It's just surprising...

Another view of Mt Si.

[GHweatherChris]

Woke up to 3/4" of an inch of snow accumulation, looks like more moisture on the way in just a bit.

[TT-SEA]

Another view of snow line.     And a few left over snowbanks from snow on Monday

I woke up briefly at 3am and it was mixed. Pretty lame and went back to bed. Snow line looks fairly low though on mountains on my side of the watershed. 

[MossMan]

Just turned to all snow.
