Russia.

Hmmm... A nice little dusting out there now. 

[TT-SEA]

00Z ECMWF shows 1-2 inches of rain in Seattle on the last couple days of the month... would be enough to avoid a very dry February.

Way north compared to the 12z. No shocker there. Seattle will end up mainly dry too when it’s all said and done. Portland looking good for the driest February ever. 

[Geos]

Rain was really coming down before 8pm. Now it's pretty dry with temps around 37° in Kirkland.

[MossMan]

35.

Nah... Seattle does just fine for rain.   SEA is still +3.10 for the water year.    I am sure another wet period is ahead.  

[Geos]

Snow being reported at Snoqualmie Ridge.

Talk about the Pacific being shut down.  Might as well be a brick wall out there.  This setup will bring lows well below freezing for many areas during week two.  Average mins over the next two weeks should be pretty impressive.

[snow_wizard]

Thankfully I never had much in the way of snow expectations from this coming cold snap.  It will be impressive simply from a cold standpoint though.  I will be surprised if we don't see some more snow before winter is really done though.

[snow_wizard]

This is one crazy azz signal for that far out!  

[Chewbacca Defense]

Down to 35 and it looks like we had some snow fall with a shower that just passed through.  Cars and grass have a little bit of snow on them.

[snow_wizard]

The models are showing a very strong SSW event over the next 10 days.  Probably the reason for the extreme blocking showing up on the models for early March.

EPO and PNA forecasts are absolutely tanking on the ensemble means now.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

39F and pleasant out there.

[KingstonWX]

Well, I turn away from weather for 8hrs to work and now its snowing. I'll take it. 

[MossMan]

Up to 4” of the wettest snow possible. Branches breaking in the woods and both of my cheap carports are destroyed.

Good morning!!

32.4 and snowing.

Wow!   I was wondering if that was snow over you on the radar.    

We have a coating of snow here and also 32.     I woke up to check conditions and now I am up for the day!

[KingstonWX]

Snowing pretty hard here, has been for a bit now and starting to stick everywhere. 

[TT-SEA]

Snowing at sea level in Stanwood... just south of Randy.

[TacomaWaWx]

Hmmm 36 here and precip is nearby. I think based on the models that little meso low is supposed to drop south this morning.

Radar loop over the last few hours clearly shows rotation and a meso low currently around Port Townsend and slipping south.

Tempting to be “sick” today and either stay home and see what happens or drive out to kitsap peninsula and do a hike this morning. I missed December so I’d be fine going to see some snow today. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Just looked outside and there’s some wet snow mixing in. Outflow is going up in Bellingham too.

FWIW... here is the 06Z ECMWF precip loop from 4 a.m. through 7 p.m. today.  and high temps today.

Too bad it’ll take a bit for the colder air to work in. I’ll probably have to drive to have a good chance lol.

Takes for ever to upload pics with only my 1 bar cell signal since my satellite dish is covered. Pics don’t want to upload but I’m trying! Also it appears that all of the Lake Goodwin area is powerless. I still have power, I have a feeling they got even more than me. 
 

EDIT: Pics loaded.

Looks like maybe some decent precip down here today... Not quite an inch of snow overnight.

The radar has shown enhancement rotating over the Warm Beach area for hours.

A friend on FB just reported 8” of snow and no power on Camano Island. I’m guessing at least 8” or more at my old house with a report like that. Very February 2018 like. 

[T-Town]

Had some snow or ice pellets mixing in a few minutes ago. Looks like all rain now. 38 degrees.

Live view here... 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Rain and 37 this morning 06z looked pretty disappointing in the long range 

[T-Town]

Definitely some very wet snow mixed in here. Was expecting nothing so enjoying it.

Looks like it’s real close here…even this afternoon if there was a heavy enough shower it’d probably be snow. 

[TacomaWaWx]

It’s about half snow at the moment.

Hopefully the SSW can shake things up and get us out of the ridging and dry weather we’ve seen the last month and a half +
