Melts have gotten crazier than that.

One day my brother was coming to visit, we had 6.6" fall on the morning of 02/07/2017, he came off Amtrak at 10pm, didn't believe me when I said we had half a foot of snow. There was maybe an inch in spots of the yard.

The all time great melt is probably January 1935.  Palmer WA lost 58 inches of snow in 5 days on that one!  Major Arctic blast / snowstorm followed by an EPIC torch.

Fog thick over Lake Washington, but crystal clear out over the Sound.

Just want some opinions here... Out of these two choices, where would be the best place for snow:

600' in the typical PSCZ region (roughly Lynwood/South Everett east to Monroe), or 800'+ in the highlands stretching from Bellevue to North Bend? The highlands often miss out on the PSCZ, but when they do get snow it's usually much more than the rest of the lowlands, barring arctic fronts that stall out near Everett.

Asking for...a friend...

I would choose the highlands but u should ask @snow_wizard or @TT-SEA

I checked the archived NOWDATA for that and you weren't kidding... Multiple days in the low-mid 20s with snow off and on for five straight days, then a fairly huge AR overrunning event dumping nearly a foot of wet slop, followed by multiple days in the 60s with consistent daily precip totals above .5" for a straight week. The month finished off with the state of Hawaii practically breathing on us, topping out in the upper 60s on the sunny southern end of another AR branch.

I don’t even think Jim was fully on board or anyone really. Wasn’t like it was ever within 10 days even. 

It hasn't fallen through yet.  We're still going to see rapid height rises over the GOA around day 8 or 9 with a possible ridge merger around Dec 10 or 11.  At least it will probably get chilly for all of the atmospheric levels.

One pretty interesting thing IMBY is 4 of the past 5 days have had NO wind whatsoever.  Peak gust 0 on those days.  Pretty dead.

The 1930s were amazing.  Atmospheric acrobatics like we haven't seen since.

Probably the Highlands.  If they want to live in the PSCZ though I would highly recommend Clearview which is a small town on highway 9.  It benefits often from the CZ, but also sits at 600 feet or a little better.  It is also east of places like Lynnwood which is often a more prolific part of the zone.  Also the north side of highway 522 between about 5 miles east of Woodinville to a few miles west of Monroe is a good bet.

SEA did pretty well today with a chilly 45 / 31 spread.  It's amazing how bad the models are at handling inversions.  The ECMWF was going for 52 there today.  Pretty obvious the high temps this week will be colder than the models are stating.

42/33 today here. 

Tacoma WA elevation 300’

Monthly rainfall-3.56”

Warm season rainfall-11.14”

Max temp-88

+80 highs-2

+85 highs-2

+90 highs-0

Solidly chilly.  Should be seeing more like that this week.  If we can maintain optimum inversion conditions long enough we might do even better.

Depends on how long your friend will be in either area. Clearview, even though on the periphery of the suburbs, seems to be the best spot in the Zone. You're high enough, removed from the heat island to a degree, and the tilt of the PSCZ gives you a shot at some training cells. As compared to making it to the direction of the Highlands is that consistency is a trait left to be desired. You could go 3-5 years and maybe have one event and a couple snow days in between in SnoCo while in the direction of Tim, you'll get more opportunities to see some snow.

So yeah, closer to Monroe and you'll do great plus Stevens Pass is better than Snoqualmie. 

I've come to the conclusion that if you are able to move above 800', the highlands are the best bet, and below that you might want to compensate for your loss in elevation by moving to the north in the PSCZ. Thanks y'all.

I love when the low lying fog forms, so picturesque.  The rising full moon only added to it!

Nice pictures! I was able to get some nice ones too. Thankful that the clouds waited a bit to roll in here so I could get the photos.

Upper Klamath Lake typically needs a bit more persistent cold to totally freeze over, Jan 2017 and Dec 2013 were the last couple times I'd say that one went solid. The smaller one, Lake Ewauna less than a mile from my house (Memorial Park) freezes on nearly an annual basis. In Dec 2013 you could probably drive your car on Ewauna. But I wouldn't recommend that. lol

I definitely think 600 feet in the CZ is better than 800 feet in Bellevue. By the time you get East toward North Bend they get into the CZ much more often because of its orientation though and it's probably better. Further East of I-5 always gives you a better chance to stay in the CZ longer and get orographic lift.
