Not sure.  Some snow is possible tonight though.  Down to 34 here now.

Temp went up at SEA with the arrival of light precip... have to account for 925mb temps tonight.   It will crash back down by morning though.

Down to 33 here with sticking snow (that will melt the 2nd the snow stops probably). March for the win!

Very nice that this happened in the middle of the night. Score!

[Jbolin]

Light precip shield moved in and temp spiked from 36F to 41F

DP shot up too, hovering near 37F

[ShawniganLake]

35F with some mixed showers.  

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Beautiful snowfall. Wow.

Snow has stopped and it has melted off all the pavement, but the roofs, grassy areas, and cars are covered. Temp down to 31 so it could put us in pretty good shape for the next blob of moisture that rolls through. Medford radar is best. Pretty strange to be looking at SW flow in March for the next snowfall possibility.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Dumping snow again. Beautiful in the lights.

I'm glad your finally getting snow after everything you've gone through with the snow drought.

Yep. Same here. I stayed up for this shitt.  Sticking pretty much everywhere including the streets. We could easily end up with an inch if this keeps up for 30 minutes.

[Dave]

Only light snow now, but the good news is that there is a much bigger blob of moisture headed this way. I will predict that we will both end up with 2+ inches on rooftops, cars, etc by dawn or slightly after.

[Tanis Leach]

Looks like Eugene officially had 0.2 inches yesterday. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Lots of snow at the airport right now but nothing here. I can see it heavy just to the NW of here.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Snowing and starting to stick.

Can’t be.  It’s March!  
 

We are running out of precip here now.  But we did pick up a slushy coating over the past couple hours.  

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Streets turning white.

[Cascadia_Wx]

35 and dumping heavy wet snow here this early morning. Not sticking much yet but it would definitely start to soon if it keeps up at this rate.

Yep, I was just about to mention that some nice showers are moving through the area at the perfect time. 34 with some wet snow here after the heaviest stuff moved through. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Down to 34 now and still coming down good. Big flakes. Starting to accumulate on the roof, grass and cars.

[TT-SEA]

Its wet out there now with some light rain.   38 in North Bend after peaking at 42 since midnight.  

06Z ECMWF shows a good snow event up here on Sunday night though.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Measured 0.4”, finally fully breaking the March jinx and making it the fourth month in a row with measurable snowfall.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Snowing out here this morning! Got some accumulations on the car and grass.

Yeah, I was wrong about this. The next few blobs came in a bit warmer with just a rain/snow mix even though it was only 32.5.The precip rates just weren't there. Oh well, at least I scored a slushy half inch. There's still a couple of more opportunities in the next few days.

[Snowdome]

Dumping snow here and sticking. Only took until march to get some real snow. 

[MWG]

Can’t even find a ruler! But it is definitely 1” at my home. Streets are covered but it’s clearing out so it will melt soon. Trees are looking all pretty with the snow. 

[MossMan]

Here is my current snow situation! 
Currently 34.9.

Awesome. Nice to see so many of our posters at least saw some wet snow last night. 

[MossMan]

One year ago today! The birds were more active last year, fairly quiet this morning.

And right on the heels of a 50-burger, too!

[FroYoBro]

Another wet little snow shower passing through. Nothing sticking. 
 

Andrew must be doing well il there this morning. 

[TacomaWx]

Nice to see some folks get some snow last night! Nothin here…but going to see Dune Pt. 2 today so I got that going for me atleast lol

If it's any consolation... I am about 400-500 feet higher and have literally the exact same amount of snow as you.

[MWG]

Interesting the difference around the town. The airport it's located in the north side of town got almost half an inch. I live more south of Medford going towards Ashland got 1" and someone that leaves not far from me got 2".

I'm thrilled for you. Didn't that happen last year too before a ruler turned up. Nice photo. I'm so excited for you and @Dave. @TigerWoodsLibido did you get anything measurable?
