Temp dropped to 28* now….wow!

[Cascadia_Wx]

Ended bottoming out at 25 here just after sunrise

Looks like PDX fell to 27 or 28, fourth consecutive low in the 20s for them you have to go all the way back to 2008 to find the last time they managed that in the back 1/3 of January

Thanks. The fog bank extends north and south along the narrows at the moment but a phone photo doesn’t really capture it. 

[Skagit Weather]

Dropped to 27F here this morning. Everything is nice and white and frosty outside for the first time this cold spell. Might be able to pick up another one tonight before the clouds move in.

[TT-SEA]

Fog hugging the Sound this morning...

[GHweatherChris]

Second coldest morning of the winter today, 21 for a low, however it does not count and will have an * due to the fact that is not from a cold airmass overhead, it is fake.

We are due 

I should add that parts of Jeursalem just had 8 inches of snow. A big thing there. If they can do it, surely Puget Sound deserves a 40 inch snow fall

38 here... probably heading to 50.    Definitely not a cold air mass overhead.

I’m only here for an update from Phil

[MWG]

27F around 6am currently 30F. High for yesterday was 61F lol. We were supposed to have some rain on Sunday and looks like that's out of the window now.

I am sure it happens with every Nor'easter in that location.   

Shouldn't you be on the road by now?     Do you have a reservation for Saturday night too?    Might be tough to get out of there until Sunday.

I’m leaving now. Reservation from 8pm tonight to at least 11AM on Sunday. Might have to stay an extra day if roads are impassable. Brought a bunch of non-perishable food and other important stuff just in case.

[Phishy Wx]

feels like we are setting up for something massive in late Feb or early March.  first two weeks of Feb are toast.  Winter doesn't feel done yet at least east of the cascades.

[Phil]

This point and click is where I’ll be.

Pilgrim Sands, on the spit between Eel river Pond and the ocean.

Check in time on the reservation specifies 8 p.m.?    That is pretty strange.

Yep they asked for my estimated check in time, to which I said ~ 830 give or take traffic.

I will gladly admit I was wrong if there is selfies, in front of the hotel and sign, other pictures can be found anywhere once the storm gets going, those won't count.

I’m with you on this... 

[Deweydog]

I can’t imagine him not going and successfully faking it to any credible degree. Not really possible these days.

That exact photo was actually George Lucas's inspiration for Bespin.
