Actually, the snowstorm on December 20th, 2022 over performed. The models only had 15-20cm but many areas hit 30+cm. :flakey:

That was so epic. Watching the models first go with 10-15, then 15-20, then the super hi-res short range models started showing 25, 30, even 35+ as we got closer and closer.

I think most forum members ended up in the 25-40 range, just an absolutely incredible beast seemingly out of the blue.

Actually it was less than 48 hours away when the models had Seattle getting our snowstorm and us getting completely shadowed. The shift was swift and brutal for Sounders. I still can't believe how well it all worked out.

I don't recall us getting totally shadowed, I think we were still looking at something like 2-6" or 5-15 cm. You're totally welcome to pull up the receipts though, because I wouldn't trust my memory farther than I could throw a stone.
