Blech. 36 degrees with moderately splatty rain. I only know this because I'm a big enough dork to go into my car and view the windshield.

Was the windshield legally obtained for your viewing?

Looks like it will hit here in about 1.5 hrs. Tonight looks good on the meso models, probably the best shot for the sound.

Got the lightest coating of snow possible last night. Actually had an abundance of showers temps were just barely too warm.

I had over 1 inch at midnight and it was 32 degrees so i figured i was set for the night for a few inches and boom a strong shower came in with 30mph winds and mixed the cold air i had and snow level popped up to 1000ft for about 4 hrs during the heavy precip. I checked obs and this shower warmed up everyone it passed. Turned back to snow at 4am. Total of 2 inches but maybe just 1 inch on ground at 7am. Tonight should be a tad colder and the meso models like taking that low right through south sound.

ECMWF actually shows 925mb temps warmer overnight than during the day... then goes back down by morning.

Looks like our big snow storm potential up here for Monday has trended south. Heading for Oregon now.  Kind of unfortunate Oregon keeps stealing the precip that is desperately needed to the north. 

It has been a strange winter. I can never remember the sound missing out on so many events, Payback will be fun though next winter.

Decent chance that little low tracks west of the sound. So probably some southerly wind mixing things up for a time.

I thought your snow pack situation was looking pretty good down there.  

Here’s southern Vancouver Island

Yeah... appears to be an embedded low that tracks along the WA coast overnight.  That also causes the band to split out here.

Fair enough. I thought you were talking about the lowlands. I think you've had more snow than I have this winter, or at least until this week you definitely have. 

Snow pack is at just about average in the Oregon Cascades.

The EURO has been absolutely abysmal with this pattern.

Lol yeah some people keep saying the lowlands in Oregon are having all the fun this winter. The January event was pretty decent for you guys but it’s not like you guys have had multiple big snow events and we’ve had nothing up this way.

GFS shows the same thing overnight but even farther west.  

That low shows up perfectly on the high res RGEM as well... in the same general place.

Really kicks up a good south wind with it that will kill any chances of lowland snow

I’m mostly just giving you a hard time.  I’m at 21” for the winter.  I think we might get another couple at some point this weekend.  
 

Snow pack situation is pretty bad here right now but I think some parts of southern BC have done really well in the mountains the past few days.

In terms of performance... the ECMWF yesterday showed 1-2 inches across all of King County by this morning.     Its been way too aggressive with snow for my area.

So far the icon has done the best here.

Every model has been treating this like December and not March. Why do we keep getting fooled every year?
