If it's the iPhone weather app, idk what TWC is thinking but it says all rain all night in places that it reports snowing... it's very clearly wrong.

Thank you!! No one ever believes me when they look at those apps!! I've observed this forum for 2 years, and I've learned a lot! So suddenly I'm some psychic  weather genius when I say the opposite of their phones .

@bainbridgekid looks like PAE is reporting snow. 

[GHweatherChris]

East wind is starting to crank up a bit here, KHQM is gusting Easterly at 20 MPH.

I know! It annoys me so much when I tell them what weather is coming up and they just say "no, the weather app says rain" or "no my phone says it only gets to 36 that can't happen."

Yesterday my husband went to check the weather on his phone, went quiet, looked at me and said, "What does that forum you follow say?"

[snow maniac]

Snowing moderately now, trees and shrubs turning white again roads turning white as well, down to 32.2 degrees.

[GHweatherChris]

Radar shows the offshore flow eating the precip a bit now.

[BLI snowman]

Temp continues to slowly drop here, down to 36.5.

Again, good sign for those further north as the WAA still appears to have a ways to go.

What's your elevation there?

Roughly 300 feet.

[RayRay]

0 snow and it shows heavy snow on the Weather app for bremerton. 33.4 degrees. Tempted to do an hours long night walk up to 500 ft.

[Everleigh]

Temp is 32.7*, DP 32.4* Snowing at a decent rate, right now. Starting to stick to the back deck (it's slushy, but accumulating), bbq covers, etc. Texted the hubbs to let him know it was snowing at home, he says "Hopefully it doesn't get too crazy". I think I might need a divorce.

Yeah it shows pure snow on the weather app and then all rain the rest of the night.. seems legit

[MossMan]

Light snow and 32.8. 

[Ray]

Temperature dropped to 34 and currently spitting snow.  Nothing too crazy yet.

But the WAA was moving right on in according Seattle NWS.

[GHweatherChris]

1/2" new accumulation, 18.5" for the season and still moderately snow but small flakeage!  Temp still 31!

[Chewbacca Defense]

It is interesting to see the impact of the outflow up here in Whatcom County on the radar loop.  The big area of moisture getting eaten up by the dry air (I am assuming), but you can also see smaller showers going east to west from the WC coastline.

Stayton can do pretty well in onshore flow or snow shower situations as they are slightly higher than the main valley and get more precip being closer to the Cascades. On the other hand I've seen them get some painful warm noses. 12/20/08 is a good example, the warm nose extended to just past Sublimity. 

Saw the shower/elevation (500')combo a few times this week as I now work there.

Best part of growing up there was friends living 10 minutes away that were near 1000' and often had many inches when a mix was all we could manage in town

[jakerepp]

Alright now its turning to snow as intensity picks up and down to 35.2.

[gusky]

Down to 35.6. How is there no snow mixing in??? I see another band of precip on radar that should bring snow at least.

[GHweatherChris]

[GHweatherChris]

Offshore flow is keeping KHQM as snow even though temp is 36 and dp is 33.  Impressive!

[Blizzard777]

FedWay has wet snow now falling….I’m reporting officially  

35.5*

[dhoffine]

Not good just south of Centralia on I five I think I just hit a patch of freezing rain. 

Temperature says 34° and it’s still raining, The rain is definitely Closer to the frozen type of an actual rain.

[GHweatherChris]

[theRunner]

Moderate snow falling here, about 3/4 inch of new accumulation. Roads are coated and car just slid into the ditch by my house.

You have me beat! I’m at about 16” for the season. 

[yellowstone]

Can’t believe it but temp has actually dropped almost a degree in the last 10 minutes to 35.2 and a tiny bit of snow mixing in here. You gotta look real close at the street lights to see it but it’s there. I really didn’t expect it to get this close.

My father in law is the same way with his weatherbug or whatever it is.  I've stopped talking to him about the weather even if he asks me about it.  I just tell him to look at his phone.

Just started getting snow too! 35 here too. 

[gusky]

Is it too soon to talk about another cold snap?

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Snowing moderate here 32 degrees.  About 1/2 inch.
