The January 2012 ice storm was extreme for the Southern Puget sound area. Over 1” of ice in Tacoma with that one. It was pretty damaging since we rarely see ice that deep. We had like 1/3” in December 2022 which wasn’t enough to cause tree issues but the roads were a nightmare.

Oh wow. Trump just announced we are going to be acquiring Greenland. Perfect winter climate for us to move to.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than about 1/4” of ice and that is probably being generous.

The February 2021 ice storm was actually a lot worse than what happened in the south valley in January.

I don't remember, but it feels like whenever models flash big storms at the end of the runs in December and January it ends up being rain and warm, and when it flashes rain and warmth at the end of the run it has a higher chance to be snow. I remember looking at GFS earlier and thinking mid december would be rain and some of it ended as snow. I remember one winter that was amazing and GFS kept teasing me by having me on the rain side of the storm and it almost always ended up a snow.
