Sticking snow in Lake Tapps/Lakeland Hills per my doorbell cam.  I'm sure it will be a quick dusting, but still nice to see everything white again.  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Already 31.1 degrees. 

[jakeinthevalley]

Just had a snow shower move through west salem. Temp down to 35f.

 

2.35" of rain over the last 21 hours

18Z ECMWF shows Vancouver Island and Bellingham getting hit pretty good with the Wednesday night and Thursday system.  

Thanks Tim, you ruined my afternoon GFS high.

Well... the GFS did better holding onto the cold across King County last night so maybe it will be right again.

What I thought was going to be a quick shower has turned into accumulating snow.  It has been at it a good 40 minutes.  My daughter sees tomorrow as her window to get back up to Bellingham for school.  Now I'm wondering if she will be making it.

[snow_wizard]

30.5 for the month to date average.  Now we just need a whole January to come in that low.

Actually snowing lightly on the fringe of this shower. If we can get one to actually hit us it could be fun. 

Ya….as that line worked its way east the usual happened and fell apart down here.  I also got the consolation prize of some snow but nothing dramatic.  At least we know the atmosphere above is primed with cold so we can enjoy more snow! 

40/34 today and sitting at 34*

Even though it looks like the bulk of the shower will pass to my south, currently getting some light snow falling with the temp sitting at 34/DP 32. 

The ECMWF shows some action for us late tonight.  Hope it's right.

lightly snowing

37/32 here so far.  Still a good amount of snow on the ground too.

Jim I was reading about the big 1916 snow and noticed Everett reported 30 inches in 2 days. Is there records that explain how the system played out? Must of been a convergence zone also. I was curious and couldn't find any info west of Puget sound for snow depths.

[FrozenBites]

Already 2 inches of snow in Bonney Lake. Big league flakes. These huge flakes remind me of living on Skokomish Valley out near Hoodsport. That area produced the biggest flakes you could imagine.

[RayRay]

Different temp prediction model outlook for 8-14 days out.

North American Ensemble Forecast System 8 to 14 Day Temperature Guidance 00z forecast [EXPERIMENTAL]

Ah, classic surprise snow. We were nearly to bare pavement on the road annnd then, big fat flakes dumping. Currently at 34F, and the sidewalks are solidly covered again

Crazy snow here as well. Biggest snow flakes I have seen.

Love snow in general, however there's something special about huge flakes that bring the kid out of me.

The shower activity building around the South side of Hood Canal does look like it could make things pretty interesting between Tacoma and Seattle later this evening. Always hard to tell how showers will hold together as it leaves the Olympics and heads this way though.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

RayRay, last Night was one of the most extreme gradient of snow depth I've witnessed out here. Looks like almost nothing new in your area to 5.5 inches at my place and about 9 inches around seabeck. As the crow flies you are only 1.5 miles from me and a few hundred feet lower. Lake cushman had 14 new.  

[T-Town]

Radar looking promising.

They had about 14 total. Peak depth here was 11 inches at midnight.

That just barely missed me.  Just plain bad luck on that one.

Not sure, just had a decent echo over me and it produced very light snow, that other one west of here moving this way is shrinking a bit and might pass a couple miles north of me.

[Cloud]

Down to 34 at home and radar looks promising. Fingers crossed. 

[gusky]

Well sh*t is KATX radar offline??

The top of green mountain looked crazy today. Probably 2.5 feet there now. God I wish I could buy property up there. All my snow problems would be solved.

[RayRay]

Last time I hiked up green mountain last week on Friday the top had 12 inches compacted snow with 18 inch snow drifts.
