Down to 30.8 and cloudy. Looks like the EURO improved for my area! Looks like virga showing up on the over the coastal areas. When is the snow expected to start today? 

4pm old man.

The other story will be the heavy rainfall on Thursday into Friday... probably 3 inches of rain out here and 4 inches for Chris.    Going to be some street flooding around here as the water has nowhere to go with all the snowbanks.

 

Oh yay

[SilverFallsAndrew]

35.8 this morning with another .31" in the bucket since midnight.

Thanks! My mom was wondering if she could make it home from work, her shift ends at 3pm but I told her to monitor the situation throughout the day. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Looks like 12z holds snow a little longer for the Puget sound.

You're going to do real good. 5 or 6 inches wouldn't surprise me.

Didn't get to peruse the board much or update last night, spent the evening talking to my wife about a job offer I got, looks like I am headed back to the aerospace industry.  I know I said I was glad to be out of aerospace, but come to find out I really miss it, and this was an opportunity that was too good to pass up.  As an added bonus I am going back to the company I was with before so I get to keep my 17+ years seniority!

 

On the weather front, we have been sitting at 25 most of the night.  We ended up with about .5" of a snow/graupel/sleet mix.

Congrats, that’s great!

I think I’m going back to (online!) school to get my masters in Aerospace Engineering this spring. So I might be sending you a DM because I have plenty of questions!

It’s now down to -8F and still snowing moderately. Grounded for the day here.

After looking at that it's hard to believe I had drizzle.  It was probably coming from a low marine layer so that wouldn't produce snow anyway unless it was colder.

BLI-YWL is back up to -14mb from -16mb last night while SEA-EAT is only at +1.3mb.

Going to need more of that offshore gradient to get cranking a bit if we have any hope of staying snow for longer than an hour or so. 

Looks like it does increase as the front gets closer. But yes I agree.

It's just to bad this low is coming in so far north. Would of been neat to see it come into Salem so Portland could of scored. The air mass in Canada is almost as cold as the last batch.

Stronghold of snow in my backyard.  Living at the bottom of a small hill with plenty of fir trees to my south helps in preserving snow In my yard

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Hope is 12 degrees with a 40mph wind.

[seattleweatherguy]

Looks like a snow day for most let’s enjoy it while it lasts. Seattle metro gets less though

I hope Mr Goofus is correct. I also hope it holds off until I pick the kids up from school! lol

WRF decreased snow amounts Seattle South but actually increased them around Everett.

Id be fine with that outcome I’m under the blue color.

That thing has shown over 5" of snow for here several times the last few days, we shall see...

Thank you and that's awesome about getting your Masters.  I'm thinking about going back for my Master's (my current employers does not pay for education, the place I am going back to does).

 

Definitely hit me up, if I can't answer you question, I probably know someone who can.

Bummer I’m hoping you can score again soon.

[seattleweatherguy]

Most moisture starts after 2 pm today?

[bainbridgekid]

BLI down to 25/17 with outflow wind. Should be a really good event up there.

Feels like forever since we’ve had sustained offshore flow. I don’t think it’s happened since summer. We’ve been in almost constant southerly winds for about as long as I can remember.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

That front Thursday night on the nam3 looks like it has some horsepower. Looks like some snow mixing in at times also.

[LowerGarfield]

2.5 inches of new snow on my board since 8pm.

Ik it.  South of Seattle will get screwed

12z 3km NAM for 4PM today. Snow from Seattle northward and W over to Kitsap. Rain/snow mix from Tacoma southward with the southern EPSL getting warm nosed and going straight to rain, probably due to downsloping easterlies. That's great.

By 6PM it shows King County southward being pretty much rain with Snohomish northward and Kitsap still snowing. By 8PM Kitsap has mostly mixed out and Snohomish is on it's way to rain as well. Totals through 1AM at the bottom. Must be a lot of very wet snow because the dark blues don't necessarily correlate to high accumulations. 

Since this is the NAM I’m going to throw it out. 

[MossMan]

It will be interesting to see which model ends up being the most accurate.

If you don't like what it shows, throw it out right?!

Looks like a very nice event up north. Sumas 19 degrees and wind, full blown Fraser outflow. 

[gusky]

Is this WRF overestimating easterly drying?

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Looks ahead of schedule.

Always

[gusky]

12z Euro is a slight downgrade, but still pretty good

Whatcom County is primed. I'm leaving town tonight however, so I'll enjoy whatever flakes fall 

[Hawksfan2008]

Starting to get nervous in North Bend for freezing rain. Both the GFS and GEM show at least half an inch.

Yup. If that was the Euro it would be a big upgrade
