December 2020 Weather Observations for the PNW

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Hopefully will be able to see my breath soon. I think we are getting there.

[wxmet]

Moderate snow with fat wet flakes here accumulating on cold surfaces.

[Cloud]

Still getting some light snow out and a nice little dusting on cars. It's trying to accumulate on rooftops, just slushy. 

[wxmet]

Strong band of snow moving southeast across the Sound may give some areas a quick 1-2 in accumulation.

36 in Tacoma with moderate precipitation...should switch to snow as long as the precip continues! 

It’s beginning to swirl here as it comes down so getting close to fun snow!

Interesting.

[kokaneekidz]

Shocked there is no Winter Weather Advisory . It is sticking on the roads now

[MossMan]

Snowing heavily again! 

[FroYoBro]

Temperature really dropping now as this last heavy line must be the cold front moving through.

[Blizzard777]

Yard turning white

[The Swamp]

Same conditions here.

The 62-degree high temp has done nothing to prevent the ground from being covered a few hours later.

You idiot. No one the other day was saying the warm ground temps would keep heavy snow from sticking.

I was joking... no need to get angry! 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Snow seems to be tapering off now. 2.3" so far. Not bad for an initial warning shot.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

The back edge of the system was the best part of it here; it's already moved east and the snow has stopped. Should make for a fun evening to the east of the Sound.

Steady light snow now with a thin coating on grass/roofs/cars. All I could have asked for with this setup at this elevation. Beautiful. 33°F

From low 60s this afternoon to snow by 6 p.m... about as big of a transition as possible around here.

Denver-esque!

[wxmet]

Accumulating on grass and some sidewalks here. Didn't matter that we were practically flooding and in the 50s today. Only a matter of time before the roads cave.

[SouthHillFrosty]

IT’S A MIRACLE! Slushy rain in South Hill. We went from mid 50’s to upper 30’s in a little over an hour!!!!

This last heavy line looks like it is banking up against the cascades. A lot wetter on the eastside of town. 

[Fircrest]

37 and sleet mixing in now.

[Fircrest]

Where's Jim?

[bainbridgekid]

From rain to this in 2 hours.

Darkest yellows sliding south of my old place in Lake Stevens.  Downtown Everett should be rocking soon.

[TacomaWaWx]

Radar looks active in the south sound. Looks like precip could keep going in my area for awhile.
