Largest flakes I ever saw was in Lake Stevens when I lived there.  It was probably 31 degrees and I swear some of them were the size of dollar bills.

The heavy wet snow that fell on that crazy day about month and half ago were about quarter sized here.  Those were the largest flakes I've seen.

Thanksgiving in 2005-6...can't remember which one it was.  Just an amazing event that lasted a couple days.  Miss it.

Our wet snow is a lot wetter than yours out East. In 2007-08 I got 19" total and not a flake of it fell while the temperature was below 32 degrees. 

You sure about that? 😉 A good portion of our seasonal snow falls above freezing too. We can get 6-8” chowder bombs with temperatures hovering at 36-37°F.

All I know is much of the snow I got that Winter wouldn't have blown around in a hurricane. A lot of it was like rubber cement.

Takes more wind for sure but it still blows around.

January 2011 was 36°F mashed potato slop here, and even that stuff blew around like crazy once winds got strong enough. Doesn’t need to be a hurricane lol.

Alright. I’ve had my Friday night gin and tonics, and am pretty excited. What is everyone’s predictions on tonight’s runs? 

My feeling is that this is going to trend colder and snowier.   After today's model trends... I am a believer.

Trusting nothing yet, even though this is the closest we’ve been to something decent.

At least it looks like it might get windy and cold at the very least. How cold and if there’s snow is yet to be decided ofc.

I know the moment that I hop onboard with this, it will be cold rain and a slow march into spring. So I wont. Winter is still canceled.

Reverse psychology.

Its how I deal with Seahawks games!

I’d assume this type of cold wave would be considered a backdoor blast, right? Times like these you gotta love the Gorge.

It also brings the trough a day earlier than the Euro. Still good to see, the more models on board the better.

Trade Russell and sell the team to a city that actually cares about football, like San Antonio!

Or Oklahoma City!

I am not yet onboard.  I love what the models are showing but I think tonight’s models will back off some.  Like Matt said, it’s a messy setup that will likely change.  I will get onboard Sunday if the models are still looking good

I'm predicting this to be an exciting night. I'm predicting tonight is the night the model runs start showing a big snowstorm within the next week, hopefully somewhere along the lines of a big regional event. LET'S GO COLD AND SNOW!!! 🙏🌨☃️🥶
