Looking active to my north. We’ll see if it can slide this far south. 

Looks pretty good on radar so far it’s expanding westward while sliding SE.

Getting dark out there. 
39 degrees.

Hard to believe PDX hit low 50s today with such a cool airmass overhead only 47 here so far 

The high was below average.

Not a surprise when there is nothing to bring that cooler air to the surface.

Line of showers on their normal rout along Vashon Island

Meanwhile above the surface, we topped out at 40. Currently 39 and partly cloudy.

And now the sun is out.

SEA was reporting thunder and rain at 4:53 p.m. and 43 degrees.

[Dave]

Just had some hail as well. Much more interesting than fog and clouds.

Snowing here. I’m close to 700 feet in Enumclaw

The focus and center of the c-zone is definitely way south right now.    Radar shows precip over my area but its very light on the north side.    We have only had a little light rain and a few ice pellets in the last 30 minutes.    That could obviously change later... there seems to be a new c-zone starting to form farther north.

Took a quick video before dark. Heavy snowfall for the last couple of hours and adding up fast. Already around 4" of new.

Still on the warm boundary of the true Arctic airmass which is probably a good thing to keep the heavy snowfall going. Currently 24F.

 

 

[TacomaWaWx]

Down to 41. Not much rain here just light stuff 0.02” today.

It's interesting how some of the models are showing some legitimate snow accumulations between Corvallis and Eugene over the next couple of days. Corvallis actually did really well during the February 2011 event, better than pretty much anyone in Western Oregon. 

Think you said once Corvallis is one of the single best valley spots for snow. Would love to see that in action! It certainly is for radiational cooling.

High of 36 in Sunriver today

[GHweatherChris]

Positive splat test!!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Looks like we got up to 52F. Currently 42F and it feels pretty normal temp wise. Nice evening with some occasional showers and a few hailstones mixed in.

The low this morning was 42F so we might get a couple degrees below that in a bit but I doubt much more than that.

Snowmobile paradise there. I'd love to wreck that pow.

Were you there in late December or back home for break? 

[gusky]

Had on and off hail showers for most of the day. Aside from that, and the frigid wind, was a beautiful day at the beach

What's up with the (CG) MH-65/D Dolphin helo in the pics?

I will be bummed if we don't get at least a few flakes. Would be a waste. Not expecting anything, but cold without snow is useless to me.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

4am Wednesday morning. 

Check out the dewpoints! If only we ever had arctic air advect in like this in the heart of winter!

"If only", even the biggest weenie's here would need immediate medical attention due to all the sudden onset heart attacks.

Your best and only chance is tomorrow around sundown as the dry air surges in behind the departing low maybe it can spin up some south valley convergence. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to 35, interesting to see if there is any moisture around tonight. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Getting some pretty heavy hail here currently. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Wow it’s getting pretty heavy now grounds turning white. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Just saw some Lightning. 

[The Blob]

I wish I got a picture of downtown PDX on my way to work, but there wasn't traffic; but this will do.

We are getting a heavy hail shower out here as well. That CZ south of I-90 is looking good.

When we were talking about old age and getting old today I was going to add that one thing that's interesting for men is our muscle mass and strength can continue to grow and gain up to your mid 50's or more. Yesterday I beat my max bench press by 20lbs over my best when I was 30 years old. Did 275lb and I'm about 180lbs. I feel stronger at 49 than I did at 39. I have noticed it's a little harder to run now than when I was in my 20's. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Temp dropped down to 39…didn’t get the flash on camera looked like it was NE of here. 

[MWG]

We spend the weekend in North Bend, OR and went to Bandon too. Beautiful day today over there!

Currently in Medford 39F supposed to start raining after midnight and possible snow so we will see! 

 

[jakerepp]

Rain/snow/sleet/hail/graupel mix. 

40.1 though so maybe I'm exaggerating.

[SnowySeeker50]

A bit of a mix in federal way.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

ICON caved.
