The story of our whole "winter."

Could be settling into our summer pattern after mid month.   

Just imagine how awesome nighttime cooling will be when all of the trees burn off. We don’t even need more Japanese beetles and spotted lantern flys from Tim when Mother Nature is going to give our climate the Lebanese treatment in one season.

Anyway, raining and 45 degrees.

.38” since 4am. 

After this winter, I'm shocked the weather app has enough brass to continue showing snowflakes a week out. 

Charlie Brown, we've got a football over here for you to kick!

The gradient between the offshore/CA ridge and the cold airmass is so tight that slight shifts in the whole pattern will make big differences in what we end up getting.

Think smoky skies, beautiful sunsets and ash accumulation.  Come on!

Roads will be too warm but perhaps some slushy lawns

Last time I heard that I got 10" of snow with snow covered roads in mid April

You know the ridge is shifting over us.

I think there's a very decent chance we see more ashfall this summer here than we saw snowfall this winter. 

Technically it happened here in the May 1980 to 1981 period as well. Thank you St. Helens!!

does anyone have the euro? Takes forever on tidbits and then you don’t ever get a snow map

I drove up to about 2k above scappoose in late March 2011 or 12 and  found thigh deep snow.  It could happen again

[snostorm21]

CZ firing up in North King county.

[PuyallupChris]

Just got a powerful burst of hail, between pea and BB sized. Only lasted 2-3 minutes, then a downpour. Now it's sunny.  March has arrived.

I was joking.  Surface temps don’t much matter when the snowfall rates are high.

Comeon Baker! Do your thing!

[iFred]

More outliers creeping closer to 80 as soon as the end of the month. 

[iFred]

April showers with pass level temps in the low 50s.

A couple members hallucinating two feet of snow.

It’s already coming!

This is exactly why folks need to cut the flaky cord and get on Team Graupel. Soft, yet durable. It’s the Charmin of precip types while high solar flakes are gas station one ply.

They just keep stealing our winter day after day after day…

[MossMan]

Over an inch of rain now since 4am when it started. If this was snow I would be buried. 

[bainbridgekid]

Unusual look to the radar today with a traditional looking CZ with a sharp cutoff on the South edge of the zone, but also a lot of synoptic looking rain falling North of the zone all the way to Bellingham.

Pouring out

[Christensen87]

GFS not backing down, I still think it's on to something. If it does eventually completely cave though, wow what an embarrassment of a model. Really hoping for a win.  And I just want snow before we put a fork in the winter  

[snostorm21]

GFS is very dynamic for the area next week.

Sometimes it's such a fine line between "onto something" and "on something".
