29°F and frosty as ever. Easily the hardest freeze of the season thus far.

Took my spouse and I 15-20 mins to get the ice off ours cars when it usually takes five. Ice puddles on the roads too.

Just start the car and turn on the defrost full blast... only takes 2 or 3 minutes no matter how frosty.  👍

I have done that when the car is a block of ice... go back in the house and get a cup coffee and come back out and the car is cooking and and covered in water.   😀

Or stolen but apparently not in an HOA subdivision 

I jokingly told that to my five year old but we park in the back in a community of 2k.

I hope you have snowcat Andrew, not that this is going to verify nearly a fortnight out. 

All of WA would love this map. Still pretty far out though but one can hope.

No action here on the GFS as is tradition...unless we're talking about heat and warmth. Then we're rockin' and rollin'!

Company vehicle got stolen and stripped by doing that.

OK... well in some areas you might have to start the car and sit in it and wait.    Still easier than scraping ice.  😀

I just walk upstairs and fire up my work computer. 😁

 

When I *do* have to go into the office I just plug my coolant heater in the night before and have 140-150* water temp at the turn of the key!

Interesting weather discussions on the community Facebook group today... They are talking about a Thanksgiving in the late 80s that had a lot of snow... They seem to be claiming it was 1989, but looking at the Silver Falls data, I don't think there would have been much if any snow that Thanksgiving. Temps at the Silver Falls station look fairly close, and our area sits a little higher and gets more snow usually, but I kind of think they must be thinking about 1985...

12Z ECMWF keeps the Seattle area dry through most of the day tomorrow with the precip finally moving in during the evening and overnight hours.    Even with the more favorable timing... the suddenly generous ECMWF snowfall maps do not show any lowland snow with this event.

It's funny, now they are talking about a huge snowfall in "January 1981," the lady says her son was born in June 1980 and it was after that, so they must be talking about December 1980, that was a major event up here, but January 81' was a total torch. 

Interesting, it must have been 1989, the lady names the kids in the picture, and I know one of them is the same age as me, and he looks about 5 in the picture... That few hundred feet difference between Drakes Crossing and South Falls must have made the difference that time.

I always fight the urge to lose it when people casually bring up things like January 2004 or December 2008 and sh*t the bed when it comes to what year it actually occurred.
