An inch of freezing rain on the gfs this morning here continuing the trend of thrursday’s event being snow to freezing rain. Any clue how damaging that much freezing rain would be?

Bad. Really bad. But pretty unlikely on the island. Never seen anything close to that here even when we transition out of strong arctic air masses 

[jakerepp]

We were up to 37 at around 7 this morning but back to 35.6. Not a ton is melting so far.

I’m encouraged that the euro and gem show mostly snow. What do you see happening in vic on Thursday? 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Snow and sleet shower here and 34 degrees,  dewpoint 31.

3-7” of snow late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Maybe a brief period of ice pellets or freezing rain during the transitional to rain on Thursday morning. 

[MossMan]

Well finally a slow melt has started, DP at 31 but my weather station is starting to read precip as snow melt. 

[Cjmessling]

A mostly snow yet rain/snow mix here at lake cushman 980’. Temp hovering around 33. I’m expecting it to change to snow as the day continues but the GFS is calling for over 2 feet by tomorrow 10am. I doubt that but I do expect a solid snow when the front finally makes it was through this evening. The trees lost a ton of snow last night as the temp stayed in the 33-34 range all night. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

33F and cloudy.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

CFS starting to catch on to the fact that it's January now.

[Cjmessling]

By the way I saw this picture on line and it made me think of a few of you weenies future ex wife

[Timmy]

46 degrees here in Nw Norway today at the 63rd parallel. Makes me feel better about living on a west coast and that dang south wind killing the snow dreams. Happens up here even!  Saw the sun for the first time today! 
 

there is still about a foot of snow on the ground, the roads are still messy in spots on backroads. The sun doesn’t touch them so snow and ice stick around much longer on them.

[LowerGarfield]

Temp continues to climb at 23F now per our weather station.

[MossMan]

I have a feeling we could still be looking at late January for more goodies!

12-18 of snow a good bet. I miss living up there, that area can get huge snows.

Our January cold just doesn't come anymore.  Can almost bet on a great February.  Fun might start late January but probably not. Crazy...

[MossMan]

Wind is strong now! My pure untouched snow is now getting violated by tree sheddings. 
Some of the protected trees in the woods still have a little snow on them and my icicles are holding strong! 
38. DP 32.6. 

[Chewbacca Defense]

Insane winds last night, the snow in my back yard is littered with pine needles and other tree debris.  I could hear the needles hitting the windows on the south side several times as well.  Currently 44 and we have lost at least 20-30% of our snow.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

NWS says a no go and no snow accumulation late tonight but the forecast for here right now is for rain and wind and it's dead calm with light snow falling. Couple things,  the south or se wind isn't exactly warm especially if your not upstream from a water trajectory and this storm coming in isn't warm and should have some very cold air aloft to work with when the front is stalled over the area. I think many places with transition to snow tonight.  And the ground is very cold so it will stick no problem.  

[seattleweatherguy]

33 here this morning did not expect that 

[Everleigh]

42° now.  Starting to get a little more breezy as well, according to the weather station.

I heard one forecaster last night saying the south wind would have eroded all the snow by morning.

Wind will kill snow faster than rain, pretty crazy to see. One time we went to lake Wenatchee to snowmobile and when we got there it was 30 degrees with 14 inches of snow. Overnight a warm downslope wind rushed in and totally killed all the snow, I almost cried when I woke up, terrible.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse my brothers car is broken down now…so I’m flying to spokane and will have to get a hotel room there. It’s too late to change my flights so pretty unsure what to do now.

About 18 inches.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Temp back down to 32.5 with some wet light snow falling. 

[The Ms. Anthrop]

Wasn’t it supposed to be 40 by now?  32.9 in S. Seattle, still plenty of snow on the ground and no wind. Man, tonight really is going to be a boom or bust, huh?

[Ray]

Starting to get a little breezy here.  Temp went from 30 to 36 in less than an hour.  I will be heading over to Bremerton here shortly and will be interested to see the weather there and back.

I don’t know…he’s in a bad cell reception area too so I’m not sure what the status is. All I know is I’ll have to stay in Spokane tonight

Light snow continues here with accumulation on the cars now.

If you can find out more info I can try and help. Year, make, model, and symptoms. 

[MossMan]

Had a temp spike all the way to 40. Back down to 38 now with a DP of 33.1. 
Still windy.

One thing I have learned is sometimes what appears to be a string of unfortunate events are actually a blessing in disguise.  Thank goodness that car is acting up now and not while you are crossing the pass in terrible weather.  Hopefully it ends up being an easy fix and you have a safe trip home.

[T-Town]

Dude in a 2wd truck just made ~15 runs at the hill outside our house. Finally admitted defeat when an awd Mercedes crawled up with no problem. 

[Phil]

Winter weather advisory for 3-6” of snow back home..

..and I’m stuck in f**king Florida.
