We are due for an April snowstorm. Think 10cm overnight followed by +13C sunshine and quick melting by 11am.

Definitely a rain/snow mix here now. Temp 1ËšC, DP 0ËšC.

Update: mostly snow now.
It's called clown range for a reason.

I predicted it first!

There will be a widespread 10 to 20 cm of lowland snow in the first half of April. (Don’t laugh. It has happened before. It can happen again.)

That will be the heaviest snowfall of the season for most of us.

Then it will all melt the next day. Because April.

Nope. I've arrived at my cynical stage. The way this has unfolded has annoyed me greatly. And the models are taking that blast eastward. Nothing we can do about it.

This winter has not been very kind to #teamsnow thus far.

Nothing much we can do about it though.

Nice to see that Monty scored something though.

Moderate snow here for the last 15 minutes before that it was light to moderate. The grass and cars are getting white. Go Team Snow!
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Sweet.

Gonna buy a SnowCAT to go along with it so I can push around all the tons of snow I can make!

Still snowing.

Slushy accumulation on cars and grass.

This is all we have to look forward to this winter. Pathetic.

It's actually ridiculous how this winter unfolded.

How in the world does a -ENSO/+QB0/SSW/MJO phase 7 not deliver?

I'm beginning to think all these ingredients listed above are just over hyped and that our best winters occur when we least expect it.

Some of the greatest winters in the PNW were actually El Nino.

It's frustrating but I won't give up on winter until late February. :lol:
