This is a decent pattern

Would Edmonds see some flakes at least?

In the short term, Saturday afternoon looks quite convective. Graupel downpours likely. And some may see their first flakes as the snow level is briefly pulled down in heavier showers.

There are some hints too in the EPS weeklies today of la nina climo in January. This pattern could get some snow and colder weather through the central Plains and occasionally further south.

For some good news. We do continue to see incremental improvements in some of the medium range guidance. This is getting to the point where those in the north might be able to score some winter weather. I'd need this to dig more to help me but you got to start somewhere.
