PNW February 2022 - Winters Last Stand

[bainbridgekid]

Was snowing lightly in downtown Seattle about half an hour ago and things are whitening up here in South Everett now.

 

[Loniu7]

Unexpected surprise, snowing with at least an inch on the ground.

[Perturbed Member]

The radar echoes hitting NW OR do appear to be making it to the ground. 

[Perturbed Member]

Looks like a healthy precip rate there. Curious to see how well it holds up as it moves towards PDX metro, not too far now.

[Meatyorologist]

Dusting here. Tiny, dry flakes. Better than nothing!

[TacomaWaWx]

Oh sh*t! Fell asleep and woke up to this!

[TacomaWaWx]

0.25” of snow here…by the looks of radar we have a shot at 1/2”! Just had a feeling this was gonna be an over performer the last couple days. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Temp is 28 here DP is 24. Have a pretty decent amount of precip to work with tonight very similar to the late December NNW flow snow events that fared better than expected. This is the 6th year in a row we’ve had measurable snowfall in February…and also had snow on this date 1 year ago today. My winter grade is officially an A. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Think this band heading into Portland could give them some accumulating snow tonight. Not a major snow event but more widespread than what we saw earlier this week. A lot of places have gotten accumulating snow out of this.

Woke up at the right time. Snow just started. If we get an inch out of this, my winter grade will jump to a solid D+

[Cloud]

I'm happy with this week's cold snap. Looks like going to get away with 2 mini snow events. The first one couple nights ago lasted about 45 mins for a little more than 0.25". This one is a bit longer  but a lot lighter with just flurries but still have a nice coating. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Record lows at Eugene and Roseburg this morning. 24.8 here right now, but we squeezed out a low of 21 after midnight. 

 

[Meatyorologist]

Measured a slightly generous 0.25” after the snow stopped. 28°F and clearing above. Snow stuck on all untreated surfaces, including pavement.

Taking a walk now before it melts. I will likely be one of the few in the city to properly enjoy it before it’s all gone by noon.

[The Blob]

It's snowing but not sticking.  I have no idea for how long since I was hiding, I mean working. 

[umadbro]

Looks like winter is going to stay at a D-.

[snow maniac]

Bone dry all night, just like I knew would happen thanks to the Olympic Mts and NW flow, so this winter would be a C- winter for me here, only 5 inches all winter! All the way back in December.

[Meatyorologist]

[BLI snowman]

Probably about 0.2" here so far, 28 degrees. Very light but it's trying.

[MossMan]

3” of new snow. 
Now clear and 22 degrees. 
Legit event! 

[The Blob]

I'm so happy!!!

[Tyler Mode]

Similar in Battle Ground to Ridgefield. Dusting of snow, 27 degrees.

[The Blob]

The truck in front of me almost spun out twice on the way home. I panicked a little because I thought I might to. I never did, but two other vehicles did not long before I passed over 181st on the 84.

[FroYoBro]

Was 26 degrees when I went to bed. Now up to 30. 
 

A few white specks on the ground, but it seems like the east side of town is doing better. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Looks like about a half inch of snow out there and still coming down light to moderate, 28 degrees

You were definitely the big winner once again.   Unbelievable!   No model showed anything close to 3 inches in the lowlands... or even the mountains.

We had about 1/2 an inch of powder overnight.    I just went out to check the roads and the snow actually blows off the road from the wind created behind my car... not our typical snow here.

Sky is clearing now as it gets bright to the east.

32.3 here. Can’t find a warmer station within 50 miles. West side is mainly missing out. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

This bumps my season total close to 6” there were so many little snowfalls the last week of December it was hard to keep track biggest events were 1.5” with the anafront on 12/18-19 and 2” on 12/28

[MossMan]

First light pic! 
20.8 degrees

Same, closing in on 0.5" here now. Tiny bit more will get me to 6" on the season.

Got a nice dusting overnight that covered everything except the road.

[jakerepp]

Just a dusting here and 27.7. Looks like maybe a bit more than we had Tuesday morning.

Roads here were not in mood for a white coat either.  Looks like 1/4-1/3 inch out.  I did wake up at 3 and enjoyed watching it fall for a bit. 
Currently 30*

Lol wow that was my EXACT prediction last night got you and that was a joke

[TacomaWaWx]

0.3” of snow here officially this morning…brings us to 11.3” for the season. Low of 28 this morning 19th freeze this season too. 

[jakerepp]

Actually, maybe more than a dusting. Not gonna measure, but it's at least a quarter inch. Woo!

[TacomaWaWx]

This cold snap still wasn’t as great as 2011 or 2018 but pretty cool still. Had snow falling on 3 separate days and did finally accumulate this morning. Not quite as long lasting as 2018…as we likely will only notch 2 sub 40 days out of it but the low of 21 yesterday morning was very impressive. Definitely makes this winter an A here. We’re also -0.6 for February so looks good for 3 below normal months this winter. 

[Kayla]

-10F early this morning before the snow moved in with this little inside slider moving through. Will be nice to finally warm above zero today.

Currently -1F with light snow.

i wanted to call it a "skiff" of snow. Is that more or less than a dusting? 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Light snow and 26 currently. About 1/4”

[MossMan]

February…What more can I say. 
We are a few days away from March and it’s 21 degrees with the sun popping up. Wow!
