It’s coming down at a pretty good pace in T-town 

[Meatyorologist]

SeaTac's daily rainfall record is 5.02" on 10/20/2003. Probably not going to beat that Monday, but there's always an outside shot. Storm total could beat that number though. Really tough situation coming in.

[TacomaWaWx]

0.19” of much needed rainfall.

Not quite downtown but I live by the Glass Museum! Moved here when I started going to UW T so I could walk to school. It’s hard to beat the view! (Although a view of Rainier would be better lol)

I’ve been lurking since last Feb truth be told, felt like I should finally take the leap and try to contribute however I can.

Yeah I took a few meteorology classes in college so I have a base knowledge but there’s still lot’s to learn. I remember all of the consternation surrounding a fellow named Jesse when I started reading the forum lol.

UW is so bad this year woof.

I was hanging out with some buddies last night, and a couple of them are avid waterfowl hunters.  They said the migration has started early and the numbers are astonishing.  One lives in the Skagit valley just east of I-5.  He said about 500,000 geese had passed through the Skagit valley this time last year.  This year....1 million.

 

He also said ducks are showing up really early in good numbers.  Another buddy lives in Lynden and said some of the fields have been so thick with geese people have been pulling off the road to take pictures.

 

I think Mother Nature is trying to tell us something is brewing this winter.

Welcome to the board!

Really big 0z coming in. The models have yet to come to a resolution on how much rainfall Seattle will get. It's a tough situation mainly because of the Olympics rain shadow so it's kinda been flip flopping. Still a lot of uncertainty when the range given is 1.5" to 5".

I think the consensus is probably going to be about 4" for the Seattle area.

Bellingham really seems to be in the bullseye with this one. Pity I won't be there to experience it. At least I'm not missing out on a big snowfall.

Secured long-term housing in Vancouver today. Given the tight housing situation, and how the clock is running out on this temporary rental, I basically had to take what came my way. Interestingly, it is at about 90 m / 300 feet elevation in what tends to be one of the snowier parts of the city proper, perhaps 40–50 cm / 16–20 in annually. So there’s that to look forward to. Maybe. Vancouver has had a long run of disappointing winters in the snow department in recent years. It has to end sometime, right?
