bainbridgekid Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Everett has gotten 2.20” of rain from this storm. Much more than modeled and goes to show how absolutely epic this storm would have been if it came in two days sooner with cold air in place. 1.47” in 6 hours last night which I can’t remember ever seeing here. 5 Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tibster13 Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Ok here’s my once a year post! Reporting from White Salmon, WA. Always found the weather forecasting here to be really tough to pin down, as the NWS out of Portland tends to focus on Hood River and the western gorge, and the NWS out of Pendleton is always a blanket ‘East slopes of the cascades.’ I’m basically right across the Columbia River from Hood River, but higher up. I think I technically fall under the Pendleton office, but we’re right on the border of their forecasting areas. For just a quick example, we had no WWA or WSW leading up to this, and they only recently added a WWA for an additional 2” at 9am. Id guess what makes the area tough to forecast is White Salmon essentially sits on top of a cliff side along the gorge. I’m at about 900’ but the elevation quickly increases the more towards Adams you go. Most model maps really struggle to show the difference between what’s going on along the river and what’s happening a quarter mile off of it up the hill. I don’t have any temps or semi-official measurements to give you all so I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Been a wild 9 hours and doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. yay snow! 20 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really envious. We have winters with good snowcover, and we have winters without good snowcover or something in between. I guess I really like the variation. I prefer a more dynamic climate.

MikeInEverett Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Slushmageddon is in full swing here. Absolutely nasty outside and puddles everywhere, there is basically a pool of water/slush around my car. I had to park on the street at my apartment complex and learned that I will try my hardest to never park on the street again during a slushmageddon. 1 1 Quote (Previous name: MillCreekMike) Everett, WA (elev. 180’) 2023-2024 Snowfall: 1/11: Tr. 1/18: Tr.

WildrootParables Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Not sure how helpful this is, but I'm a lurker from South Kitsap (outside of Gorst, about 500') and it was so strange to see fellow Kitsap county folks on the forum reporting buckets of snow last night! We got nothing but heavy rain and some thunder, while areas around us got accumulations. A bit sad, really. I know snow doesn't last forever, but I hate watching it melt, especially in the rain. I trust these forums ahead of any other forecasts. Thanks for all you do! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerfylicious Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 WSW extended for Gold Bar and other areas until 4pm. Hard to believe, since the temps are warming up. Who knows, might still be snowing back home but it's 32 now so the party must be getting close to over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
