That wasn't me.  I said that no way downtown Seattle gets an inch of snow.

Hard to keep it all straight... I just remember the models were on drugs!

Looks like that band is holding together well.

Practically stopped here but hoping to score something with that. Temp still at 33.

Yeah... it really let up here too.   Just some tiny flakes now.   Should pick up again soon for both of us.

Just measured 1.5" on the back patio here. Looks like that'll be my final total barring any unexpected CZ action later.

I'm extremely happy with that.

I know this is pretty shocking... but the radar is absolutely exploding right over Randy's area.   So happy for him.   He never seems to catch a break.

Mill Creek, elevation 325'...not as heavy as Smokey Point but I will take it.

 

Measured 1/2" so far.

Wet snow is the best snow (unless you’re a skier, lol). Love the way it clings to each and every twig.

So it looks like temps will rise after the front passes and be in the upper 30s. It'll probably melt. :( 

I’ve seen it happen before in these sort of marginal events.

My forecast says partly cloudy after midnight. Hoping it clears enough to get some radiational cooling and a freeze.

It's called clown range for a reason.

Yeah, happens here quite often for these type of events, the heavy showers brings the snow levels down to sea level and once it passes, it goes back up.

Yeah... just noticed that the ECMWF shows temps back up to near 40 in the Seattle area by midnight.
