Looks nice up there

We are probably done with snow which is good. The cold troughing signal is really watering down in the mid and long range. Looks seasonal temps wise but sort of wet which sucks.

No real ridging in sight.

Yup.. I guess it switched over to slushy rain an hour ago.. then intensified to more slushy rain..recently sloppy snows, due to 100m elevation. Looks like the boundary on this entire event was around 300m :x
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Lots of snow in Seattle, though, down almost to sea level.

I believe I told you all it was more likely Seattle would get a significant snowfall this month than we would.

Never doubt the power of March.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Some areas are going to get in excess of 30cm. Just a huge fail by the NWS. Canadian model nailed this.

Looks like Sardineman may have finally scored. Wonder how much he got.

Shocked to wake up to 1cm of snow cover. I missed it falling though which is part of the fun.

Looking through the webcams, theres a few spots in Seattle with sticking snow, and a bunch melting on impact. You need a true cold airmass to get snow to stick this late in the year for the most part. Still a pretty nice event for them.

Still pretty troughy in the long range. Mid range definitely looks wet and chundery.
