I heard one forecaster last night saying the south wind would have eroded all the snow by morning. 

He was incorrect. 

 

[Fircrest]

No 50 mph gusts here like the advisory was saying at one point, in fact it is completely calm. Where did the wind go? 37 degrees and melting.

[Phil]

Why does the universe troll me like this?  

12+” in 6hrs? Please bust.

F**k Florida. F**k Palm Trees. F**k Sunshine.

Give me glaciers and the smell of woodsmoke.

Well finally a slow melt has started, DP at 31 but my weather station is starting to read precip as snow melt. 

Yep…our data is screwed

I will never go to Florida again, If someone gave me a house on the ocean there I'd sell it and buy a house on the Alaska coast.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse my brothers car is broken down now…so I’m flying to spokane and will have to get a hotel room there. It’s too late to change my flights so pretty unsure what to do now. 

You're living your own Planes, trains and automobiles. Just find your Del Griffith and you'll be all set

Sounds like a nice snowfall! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I always root for my area to get snow/cold whether I am here or not. But I'm more about the stats for posterity than anything else.

Total snow through 10AM tomorrow per 12z Euro. This is an increase for most in the Central Sound vs 00z.

At this point it's hard to ignore the euro. 

[Blizzard777]

36* dp 32* ( I’m holding on but will bubble quickly once catalysts is added) 

Winds calm 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Euro shows 10 inches of heavy wet snow here by 10am tomorrow.  Wow

Looks like Enterprise will rent cars to people under 25. Pickup in Spokane and drop in Tacoma for about $300. I definitely didn’t dig deep so there could be some flaw in that plan but worth giving them a call if the alternative is a couple nights in a hotel in Spokane.

Woke up this morning and it was above freezing. Odd… the snow doesn’t look like much (if any) melting or compaction has taken place. Then I notice the walks are all freshly-covered. 2“ of wet sloppy stuff fell overnight.

I’ve seen Vancouver experience this sort of thing before from afar. What’s happening is that cold air banked against the North Shore Mountains last night, pushed by southerly flow (which here is aloft, never got windy overnight).

I wouldn't attempt to drive over the passes tonight,  this is why we came home a day early. It sucks sitting on the highway or trying to turn around when the pass is closed. Tonight will be near blizzard conditions over the passes.

About 12 more hours until the cold front starts passing through the Puget Sound. Could be a snowy surprise for many by Monday morning. 

[bainbridgekid]

What a wild setups. The 12z GFS still shows 5" of snow will fall in three hours between 7 PM and 10 PM tonight in Everett. Can't remember ever being 9 hours away from a potential event with less of an idea what to expect than this one.

12z Euro also moved slightly toward the GFS and shows 4" of snow for Everett. Kuchera ratios.

The map is posted already.

Winter might finally be knocking on my door in just a few days. 

Had quite a soaker of a rain yesterday. There is still a big stream running on sides of the streets here from yesterday's storms. 

Mid 40's and overcast.

It's crazy for sure. At this point the two big models need to be taken seriously.  I'd say this is going to happen.

Visiting family.

Now all models have a foot of snow back home. I’m so depressed. My gf rolling her eyes at me like when I’m on a bender.

I have been on this forum for like 10 years and the Euro seems to be the most accurate. Though sometimes it does follow the lead of other models.

Probably good advice. I’m really just suggesting that a rental car looks like an option. 

[Timmy Supercell]

I guess the start of 2022 could be worse. Southern/eastern KY was into the 70's in 2000.

[snow maniac]

32.4 and light rain??

[Hawksfan2008]

Jay Albrecht expecting a compromise with 8:1 ratios. If that happens NWS’ forecast will be a complete bust.

Maybe there will be 10 feet of snow 50 miles north of you and no snow where you live. It would be like California's last storm that drenched Los Angeles and ditched San Diego

The old veterans like me and Mossman will never leave for vacation between November and about March 10th. NEVER...

Ended up with a sub freezing high to start 2022 yesterday 32/21 day.

Cloudy overnight with a low of 28 currently overcast and 30, next several days look wet and active

Just checked... there are many flights from Spokane to Seattle available tomorrow on Expedia.

Even better and probably a similar cost.
