We can always do it the old fashioned way. By using our eyes and looking out a window......Just a thought.

I'll just have to do that every 2 minutes instead of every 5 minutes now

[GHweatherChris]

Moderate snow!

LOL Exactly, and if you have to get UP to look out the window....more exercise! It's beneficial!

Yeah, at night I have to get out of my bed, go to the window, and then get ALL THE WAY back in. It's exhausting. 

[GHweatherChris]

And, it's over.  Lame.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

That first band split apart before it arrived here.

The cell I spoke of earlier clipped me, but bulk of energy went north.

Already can tell you there isn't any need for advisory here tonight.  Just my opinion.

Overcompensating for not issuing anything last night.

[GHweatherChris]

Visible circulation off of Northern V.I. on satellite right now.

I believe you're right. Even after I called they didn't issue anything last night and yet they issue a advisory for tonight over a few random showers lol. Probably the only time hood canal has got between 6-10 inches with zero mention of snow that I can remember. 

[GHweatherChris]

And now its dumping snow!

Chris, YOU are our radar tonight. We will look at your weather to determine what's coming our way.

[MossMan]

This sucks so bad. We're seriously gonna have to resort to KOMO radar or some sh*t

I've heard rumor that the NWS shut down the radar to prevent phone calls.

And once it passes by Chris’s house he has to jump in his vehicle and track it until it gets to another forum members location.

Black ice everywhere in Everett

What is the best source for PNW satellite? I just use GOES-17 on RAMMB.

God, just imagine if we didn't have CASAG tonight.

That stuff just west of Olympia seems to be on a very favorable trajectory. 

Name checks out for this situation!

This one on the NOAA website works well for me (at least on desktop).

COD (College of DuPage) has this great website. It has multiple views, this one being my favorite (for windstorms in particular!)

You can switch between bands depending on what you need to see. Super helpful in almost any situation.

Is it heading south or staying north?

[Geos]

Even though the temp is just above freezing,  all untreated roads are freezing over. The ground must be several degrees below freezing. In Lynnwood right now.

That one is pretty good! I've used COD for a lot of things before (Kuchera snow ratio is a big one), never really explored the satellite function. Thanks!

Down to 39F with some light rain. Nice turnaround from the midnight high of 51F.

Looks like it is moving slightly NE.  And pulling a touch warmer air up from the south.

The dumping lasted all of 2 minutes, but it was still fun.  These cells are falling apart as they move inland, or splitting.  I will do my best to update, but I am on Wifey Game Stream Mod Duty tonight starting at 8.

Don't let us bother you, that sounds important!

The second one split apart here also. Not going to happen tonight here. 

[snow_wizard]

Looks like this thing in Thurston and Mason Couties is holding together.  Interestingly the ECMWF shows late tonight being the best bet for some action though.

I wasn't sure if it actually split or was just due to the radar issues. 

[Perturbed Member]

Haven't been paying much attention to weather today, I just looked outside and its dumping snow. Slushy accumulations on cars and grass. 34.5.F.

[Thurston Howell III]

Getting sleet? fairly heavy in GH. 33.8
