PNW February 2022 - Winters Last Stand

[TacomaWaWx]

The snow up north is fairly impressive this morning. It’s trying to switch over to all snow here as the precip gets heavier.

Unfortunately the 06z ensembles were a major step back.

Just not heavy enough here unfortunately for a switch over.

Picked up about 1” of snow this morning as the outflow kicked in

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Despite all the bad news on the models, it is looking like a pretty snowy morning down here. 31.8 currently with snow falling and echoes increasing.

Still a few snowflakes falling here but the sky is bright to the east as the sun is coming up.   The ECMWF has been insisting there will be a little more precip out here this afternoon moving from east to west.

I've decided to start my day at the home office. Unfortunately I still need to go into Salem today, but I'll delay that as long as I can.

Lmao. I am out on the kitsap peninsula at green mountain right now at about 1200’. Light dusting of snow here and probably 34 degrees. Breezy N winds and some light snow right now…but it looks like some precip is moving in.
