I don't much about it other than SSW events lead to cold here almost every time in recent years.   And you posted a chart a few days ago saying it's safe to say this was the final warming.

Phil would have been right with you…If it wasn’t snowing all around here! 

[the_convergence_zone]

37 with a rain snow mix here…for the 4th straight day LOL

26 currently with a light flurry. Snow stopped for a bit but its starting again and should be coming down good pretty soon here. Up to about 5" of fresh snow, which means the 1-4" forecast is already a bust, and we haven't even gotten the bulk of our snow yet! Glad I was finally right for forecasting high snow totals, I'm still sticking with my 7-16" forecast from earlier.

Heavy snow now.  I'm in shock!

About a mile from my house. Heaviest snow precip rates I can remember here!

Nice!

This band appears to be entirely missing my area just to the west.

Our area was due! Could have some staying power too given the chilly next few days.

That’s a few miles west of me. Doesn’t take me long to get there though. In this area a few miles makes a huge difference. 

[GHweatherChris]

This low could go ahead and spin up some more moisture anytime now lol!

[the_convergence_zone]

Down to 34.3,  it’s a slushy snow now. No rain drops. Flakes are coming down half melted and accumulating a bit on my deck. I’m right under one of the heavier showers. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Hard to believe that nasty cell that came ashore through Westport is completely falling apart to almost nothing 

[snow_wizard]

It's snowing so hard I don't have to turn on the yard light to see it slamming down.

So weird how the terrain effects everything around here.

I missed that cell that went north throthe sound. That looks like it was the main event. The trough it really falling apart as we speak

And probably won't see a single snowflake here.   Nice trade.

That band was shown to make it to Seattle intact. Looks the euro was way wrong for here with precip it showed.

Still some decent activity down south moving north now. 

[TT-SEA]

Snowing snowballs in Maple Valley. 

[snow_wizard]

It's puking giant flakes now.  Close to an inch on the ground it looks like.

Green mountain still has caked trees from 1200 feet and up. Freezing level has not been higher than that here otherwise the trees would be melted off even higher. Did you guess on 20 inches or measured?

[RentonHill]

Yea best snow of the season

I think this cell that hit me is something different than what the ECMWF had been indicating.

I was going to say you will get 1.5 inches with that band. The now rates the last 2 days have been nuts. I had 2.2 inches in 28 minutes yesterday morning

I just guessed 20”. Glad I got my snow fix in yesterday because we’ve been royally screwed IMBY this evening unfortunately

[RCola]

Is it really snowing in downtown Seattle or is it just someone's dandruff?

Nah... this what the ECMWF showed for SW King County.

[the_convergence_zone]

Back to rain here. Going to take a while to dig out from this one. 

[MossMan]

31.2! Frozen deck!

Were you in the area that scored big time in 2019? The last storm gave a foot of concrete only a few miles east of us while we just missed out. One of the worst misses I can remember, not that I can complain about Feb 2019 as a whole!

[Slushy Inch]

Is this going to get me? Looks more intense and north than expected 

[SouthHillFrosty]

Light rain and 32. Could get a little freezing rain for a second. Ended up with .3in total of snow. Definitely ending winter on a strong note!!

[TT-SEA]

Snowing at SEA now.

[Slushy Inch]

It the way this winter has gone continues that band will stop a mile or less south of me 

[BlvuSumit]

Snowing moving in from the south!

[BlvuSumit]

I drove through that band on I-5 heading N from Tacoma. A bit o lush on hiway in federal way. Was coming down hard. Beat the snow band before it got here

[RentonHill]

Perfect !!
