I woke up at 4 that day and it was DUMPING snow, and it wasn’t even the hardest it snowed that night either!

I have such a love hate with the Canadian right now. On the one hand it gives me subfreezing snow. But then it also gives this to me. Though it seems like the Canadian loves ZR.

This happens pretty much every year.

Heaviest snow rates I've ever seen in Seattle. Classic Niña winter that one, followed the archetype perfectly.

That's also true with Ninos. I've seen snow in Western Washington in November thru about mid January until El Nino shuts it off. That's even true here in Leavenworth. Though there are notable exceptions like February 2019 and January 1968 or 69. And many will remember 1988/1989. I was in Bellingham at the time, it was a Nina, and the first time I had heard of it. I was expecting non stop snow all winter, but nothing happened until the end of January. So you never know.
