From NWS

...Confidence in the exact placement and
timing of heavier snowfall banding remains low, and forecast
models continue to struggle with this system. However, this round
of precipitation has the potential to bring more snowfall to the
lowlands than we have seen over the past several days, and nearly
all of the lowlands will likely see some snow on the ground by the
morning. The heaviest snow is favored to occur from Olympia to
Arlington, including the I-5 corridor, and over areas along the
Hood Canal, where accumulations will likely reach up to 2 inches
by the morning. Locally higher snow amounts will be possible in
any heavier precipitation or banding that develops, with some
forecast models showing potential for up to 4 inches of
accumulating snowfall where any heavier showers or banding occurs
overnight....

[VanCitySouth]

I am getting another flurry but I'm just a mite too far west to report more than a trace.

How come you guys haven't developed a point scoring system for winter grading.

Days with sunshine 2 points
Mornings below 0 1 point
Snow 5 points
Snow more than 5cm per day 10 points
Snow more than 15cm per day 30 points
Thundersnow 30 points
Hail 5 points
Snowcover for 72 hours 5 points
Windstorm over 60km/hr 10 points
Windstorm over 80km/hr 15 points

Then total up a winter to get a grade. Grade point based on bell curve.

Totally sounds like a nerdy weather thing to do.

I developed a cold snap rating scale for YVR.
