Hopeful for tonight into tomorrow morning.

You’d think Chris being close to the coast would make snow tougher there…but something I’ve learned over the years is he can actually do a lot better than me sometimes!

If we get good showers tonight it will be snowing at sea level. Tonight looks colder by just enough.  Should be no problem here.

Oh you’ll definitely do good the next couple overnight periods. I think the next couple nights are slightly more favorable here than the last 2 nights…but I don’t know if it’ll be enough. Maybe I’ll have to take a drive to your neck of the woods tomorrow for a hike to see some snow.

Something brewing.

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?

Nah, it was trying to stick for a few mins but melted when it stopped snowing. Was pretty to see falling tho.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Man the snow is ripping in Tahoe right now

Top of mountain is caked in snow. Probably 8-12 on top

[T-Town]

Come on we can do this.

D*mn yeah might have to check it out. Green mountain at 1600’ seems to do better than tiger mountain at 1300’. I drive over that everyday. They’ve had a decent amount of snow this week but not that much. 

[LowerGarfield]

Had a brief 5 min sunshower of snow just a few mins back. The WU station near me says 38F.

Not even close to that up there now.    Definitely more than we have had here this week though.  

[T-Town]

Ice pellets. Mostly missed me to the west.

Light snow and 38 at Aberdeen.  That shower rolling in have sea level snow levels

I can assure you it was not snowing in Aberdeen at this time.

Current view out back window... not even much snow on the ridge right now.

Graupeling pretty good here but missed to the west here as well mostly.

Way more, I agree. We get more winter precip over here and when the mountains have a 1500ft snow level the mountain gets snow and so do I many times. I really should  of done better with this but the reason is how long those showers have stayed over the ocean and moderated I believe and it's March. 

[LowerGarfield]

As for grades, I'm not sure how I'd rank it for my location. Last winter was maybe a C-. Lots of little snows of like .20 each time, more than this year but this year had a better month (January) for me. I'm only about half an inch better than last year but considering the arctic front with over a week below freezing highs, almost 6 inches of snow depth, thunder snow, and a more seasonable first frost I'm giving the winter a B+ so far. But if I don't get anymore snow of an inch or more then maybe I'll keep it a B. It's also an El Nino year. 

The only really unique thing about last year was having the first snowfall come before the first frost and being just a day late of trick of treating in the snow.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Andrew is going to get another 4 inches with that big shower headed in. 

[GHweatherChris]

Actually snowing here now, and my buddy in Aberdeen said it snowed for like 2 minutes just a bit ago but more of a mix than anything.

I wish that racoon was actually yours.

12Z EPS still sticking with big pattern change by week 2.     But I am probably jinxing it by tracking it which would make a few people happy.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

The sun is trying to come out but it's failing, hopefully it'll move into one of the little blue patches in the sky, fresh snow and sunshine are a great duo as long as it's cold enough.

The outer coast of Vancouver island has done way better than most of the more inland areas of the BC south coast. 
 

Tofino is blanketed in white right now

Tim would like to remind you whatever falls will quickly disappear.

It has gotten a bit warmer 38F and some melting but keeps snowing lightly on and off.

I'd love a few days of warmth and sunshine every week,  but also a couple days of mountain snow. Hopefully we can get into that pattern. I'd say I've had enough snow days this year to be satisfied, so I wouldn't be too upset about not getting any more. Maybe another foot this season would be nice though.

Yes, it’s going to happen. Looks transitory, we likely see a big trough carving out around or after the 20th as the high pressure moves more west. 

[snow_wizard]

The12z ECMWF certainly delivers for the Seattle area.  Let's hope it's real!

[SnowWillarrive]

Just had a snow shower roll through. Any precip that falls tonight should be snow.

No doubt.  This run is amazing for MBY.

Should set us up nicely for a gloomy, wet April 25-June 20 period this year. Unlike last year.

ECMWF says snow the next two mornings.

Where does that Monday system go on the euro?

Best to show it with a snow map.  Kind of complicated how the low plays out.
