Do they make rapid tests to test for weather weenieism? 

If its any consolation... the snow blew off the trees here this afternoon and the snow compacted and does not look nearly as pristine as it did this morning.    But all it takes is an inch or two on top of that base to make it all look nice again.

Why is this not showing on the California thread?

Pretty proud that I am not even on the top posters list!

I only have lumps of snow left from where I shoveled my driveway. (Twice ) no snow yet. School is already on a 2 hr delay tomorrow,  but road conditions are icy. 

I have an MRI first thing in the morning,  what to do? Will it snow? Roads will be icy? To top it off,  I have a choice of 3 hills to cross over to get to the place.

Light snow from Sultan to Gold Bar. The rich get richer it seems...

Hopefully not too much accumulation. Took me a little over 2 hours to shovel my driveway, my back is sore and I'm tired.

You need one of these! 

[smerfylicious]

Nothing on radar. Phantom snow!

What was your score?

12 over (golf plus oculus). Check it out….it feels so reel and avatars are pretty amazing with moving mouths to your speech.  I play with my brother who are down south.  Feels like I’m right there with them.   It’s just crazy what they can do now.  like the movie “Real Player one”.

What is total depth

15" in the grass, 12" still in the driveway area that is unplowed.

[GHweatherChris]

Temp down to 30, everything is frozen solid.

[Blizzard777]

31.8* and I still need to walk to the Mail box

WSP might frown on me driving my mower down I-5 to HWY 2. Would probably take me about 5hrs to get there as well…But hey sounds fun, I’m on my way now! 

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

Hard to tell with KATX down, but it looks like showers are dying off as they reach the Sound tonight so far.

[bainbridgekid]

00z Euro continues to be much less snowy Wednesday night than the GFS. More like 0.5-1.5" amounts rather than the widespread 2-4" the GFS shows.

[Geos]

It will be interesting to see what model will cave. Less than 48 hours to go.

I think they all got fired. Should be clear sailing.

[TT-SEA]

Thursday is going to be crazy wet out here and for a large part of SW WA and the Cascades... this is total rain from Thursday morning through Friday morning.      And it comes with a 30-40 mph south wind and temps in the mid 40s in my area.    My snowpack is going to be destroyed.    I would like to keep it around for January.

If it was driving through Gig Harbor, that 5 mi might actually be OK.

I find it kinda funny that it still has the recently joined badge but I'm level 11. I think I spend a little too much time on here.

Its addicting!    I hope all the newcomers stick around... it always fun to track weather even in the warm season.

Totally wasn’t paying attention, light snow is falling again.

I can't believe I am saying this but I am more excited to have the WRF on board.  It has been rather stingy with the snowfall maps this year so far.

[Geos]

Temp has been slowly sinking down. Back north now in Bothell where it's 33-34°. Roads sure haven't improved and I've only seen one salt truck. 

[GHweatherChris]

Our road is a sheet of ice now, everything is frozen solid!

The Euro, and the GFS for that matter, is showing crazy amounts of snow for here.  The NWS is saying it will be a significant snow event, as it is slow moving, but I can't believe the amounts the models are showing.  

WRF is probably more reasonable with about 16 inches, but don't know if that is 10:1 or kuchera.  Though we wouldn't have any crazy high snow ratios as temps would be in the mid to upper 20s instead of the teens.

But problems with the mountain passes is gaurenteed.

[ShawniganLake]

31F with about 1” of snow this evening.  That Wednesday night storm is looking potentially huge up this way

Judah and Cliff Mass run that forum together 

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

Looks like this shower is heading straight for Seattle. Hopefully it won’t break apart like others before it.

[SouthHillFrosty]

Nice rain/snow mix rn (hard to tell in the street light). Currently a balmy 32 degrees. The whole street is iced over. I hope it warms up before the morning commute

I’m jk I think that forum has been a staple on the east for awhile. We have had a couple different forums over the last 20 years on the west coast

[LowerGarfield]

School here is on a two hour late start. The county roads mostly have been re-opened here.

[TacomaWaWx]

41/33 today 0.75” of rain/snow melt. Have had some light snow flurries this evening but so far we haven’t had much luck. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Overall we’ve been in a pretty decent streak of chilly weather…although we moderated yesterday we cooled back down nicely today and had some snow so I’d consider this event still alive. Euro keeps us sub 40 tomorrow…not as good for the Wednesday event as the gfs still but we would likely still get a bit of snow here. 

[Gradient Keeper]

00z GEFS Day 8-16 improved retrogression. Nice Columbia Basin cold pool.

[Hawksfan2008]

EURO showing over an inch of precipitation for North Bend in the next 24 hours. Will be interesting to see how much of that falls as snow. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Euro shows precip increasing in the south sound tomorrow morning. NWS AFD also mentions this as well…wouldn’t write off tomorrow morning.
