They even included the weight of the snow per square foot so I was able to calculate the ridiculous water equivalent the snow had. So yes....it was a record water equivalent event and it fell as snow. I suspect an AR meets Arctic air interaction so the cold air meeting the warm moisture effectively wrung the moisture from the air. I have researched this storm extensively. I will say the newspaper accounts made it clear the high depths were on the hills on the east side of town. At sea level the depth was four feet. The 76 inches in 3 days was probably about 450 feet and a mile or so east of Puget Sound. 3 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 As an aside...the two extraordinary surface lows that were embedded in the AR took the dream track for my area so given the 400 feet of elevation here and being inland the snow should have been less wet than Seattle.
