Gotten quite dark over the last 15min. Back to mostly rain. 34.9 degrees. 
1.55” on the day! 

Sounds like you're getting almost identical weather to what we had in Victoria earlier. Ended up with 1.53" of rain/snow. The temperature is back up to 33.2F but it's still light snow with no rain mixed in since it switched over to full snow.

I just did quick look at our hi resolution models (NAM, RGEM, and HRDPS) for what they showed at this hour compared to the actual surface observations. The NAM is much warmer than the actual observations. The RGEM and the HRDPS are closer but they are also warmer than current obs. The HRDPS is doing the best at the moment.

Port Angeles the big winner so far!

The number of times they scored is pretty impressive.

Looks fairly consistent across the models. What the models are struggling with is the northerlies coming down the south which really hasn't impacted you guys yet.

Yea I figured that. I didn't expect it to make it to 62 this afternoon tho😂

32.4 degrees and coming down good.  It will be interesting to see if my wife has me pick her up, or if she is going to attempt it.  Just saw a tweet that they have 3.5" on H street in Blaine.
