Moving at a snails pace! Wonder if it will get to me? I was mad when I looked out and saw scud clouds and a temp at 30.9 degrees since when I went to bed last night it was 28. Hit 27.7 after midnight before the clouds apparently rolled in. But if I can get a dusting out of it I would be cool with it! 

It was cloudy all night here so it never went below freezing.  Just above freezing but cold enough for the snow flurries to stick.

Moving sooo slow! Not sure it will get to me but I’m hopeful.

Oops, sorry about the Russ situation, didn’t realize I clicked on that screenshot as well. But it’s funny so I’m not going to edit it. 
Anyway, solid actual clouds now!

Is this strait effect snow? I saw something about it online that this was driving it potentially. 

[MossMan]

Memories!! I was on day 32 with solid snowcover in 2019 with a nice refresh on this day!

Dropped to 25 this morning.  One of the later dates it's gotten that cold in this century here.  Looks like SEA will end up with 28 for their low which is just 2 degrees above the 1951 record.

Sure didn't see that coming.  Pretty solid cloud shield on the sat pic right now.  This could end up being a really cold day if it's cloudy.

Things look pretty wet on the webcams down in Victoria. Sounds like it was snowing this morning but not sticking.

You beat me! Due to the clouds I only hit 27.

Mets had been calling for flurries here lasting through late morning.  Looking back at last night’s mesoscale models most of them had some precip across southern Vancouver island and the north sound.

I’m being surrounded!

And nobody here made a single mention of it last night?? 

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Funny to see pictures of your dogs laying in the snow.  Just went through a training class with my dog, and they offered mats for dogs to lay on  to "protect them from the cold concrete floor"  and for some dogs I get it.

 

But for my dog I had to laugh, when it snows my dog grabs one of her bones and goes out and lays in the snow to chew on her bone like its a nice sunny 70 degree day.

 

Getting some flurries still with the sun trying to peek through the clouds.  Currently 31

Asleep at the wheel.   First flurry rolled through here around 6pm last night. They’ve just been too light to amount to much.   Tuesday nights are my night out of the house so I usually don’t post much on Tuesdays unless it’s significant.  
 

yesterday afternoons 18z euro and Rgem clearly saw the precip up north.  Generally less than 0.1” though.

A couple of single digit lows east of the Cascades today.  7 at Lost Lake and 9 in the Teanaway Valley.  Impressive.

Sunriver hit 9 this morning in Central Oregon.

-17F near our summer cabin up at Watch Lake BC.  Melt out is only about 2 months away now.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Crawfish lake hit minus 4

Snowflakes falling in Burlington where I am currently at!

Very true! However mats can be used for “stationing” and are also useful when working “downs”. Most dogs don’t care that their elbows slam the concrete when working solid and quick downs, but the sound it makes upon impact is quite frightening to people lol!

Ended up with a low of 28 here. Would have gone lower but low clouds and fog formed before sunrise. Looks like VUO may have hit 25 which is pretty impressive. Less fog west side it appears.

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

That ridge looks splendid. 

[Snownerd3000]

 

[the_convergence_zone]

29.7 this morning. That's my coldest reading for March in 5 years of having a weather station.

[Omegaraptor]

Got down to 27 here. Absolutely gorgeous morning!

[TT-SEA]

Sunny morning here.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Looks like PDX only fell to 30, but a very impressive 24 for VUO. Amazing the difference between those two stations sometimes for only being a couple miles apart.

[Willamette Weenie]

Looking like in a few weeks time I'll be going from weather weenie to just BBQ'ing weenies in my backyard. 

Now to just keep fingers crossed we don't see another 117f degree high this summer. 

[Omegaraptor]

Looks like highs around 60 while I'm in Chico Sunday-Tuesday. Might be some rain too.

[BLI snowman]

24 at VUO and 21 at OLM. 

Hard freezes!!
