PNW Era, snowpocalypse incoming?
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
We got a ton of snow and have been without power since last night. My wife is sick and does very poorly in the cold so I'm very worried about her health.
Edit: We're in Monroe for reference.

Woke up in Tacoma and... Still nothing. Forecast previously said 9 last night was when it would start. Now it's been pushed to 3 this afternoon.
Little disappointed, not gonna lie.

We should really do a PNW meetup
Wait what? It's a nothingburger here in East Van. Downgraded to rain in the forecast for the rest of the week too. My daughter was crushed

Weather forecast hype. It'll be funny if the unexpected one will be in a few weeks like last year.
I'm in North Van. But I still see snow in the forecast for most of the week at news1130. There's still hope for your daughter lol.
I was watching Q-13 news and they had some reporter driving around Mill Creek. Looks like a number of trees down in the Town Center.
He was saying roads like Bothell-Everett Hwy are fine, everything else is borked.

I drive a 4WD SUV so that's not an issue for me lol
Never too old to go play in the snow
Renton is snowing pretty good up on the hill and has been for the past hour and a half.
Im a teacher in Kent and apparently they got hammered this morning. Nothing last night to schools closed this morning.

A decent covering at my place near Green Lake. However if we get a little more tonight and it goes below freezing overnight then it may be quite slippery.
I have one too; not everyone who goes out and drives does though so good luck avoiding the skidding missiles everywhere. It's just a silly risk to me. Big snows can cripple emergency services, down trees which can kill people/destroy houses, cause flooding, etc.
And we live near the mountains so... lol
Like I "get it", but I don't "get it" if that makes sense. I have some fun messing around in the snow when it does happen but don't think it's worth all the hassle. And we usually get days of nasty slush with our big snows, there is maybe a day or 2 of "fun" and then the snow is not something you want to play in.
Got a decent amount overnight in Sammamish, and it's still coming down lightly at the moment. Decided to take advantage of the excuse to work from home today. Could make it to the office if I really wanted to, but it wouldn't be worth any potential hassle getting in and out of the neighborhood.
Just got home from walking my kid to school in Green Lake. SPS made the right call on just a two hour delay. Roads are all bare and wet at this point and while snow flakes are still falling, everything is melting. Not a fun mixture, though, since it's supposed to get down into the upper 20s tonight.
Ugh, school was canceled and it's been snowing hard for the past 2 hours but no accumulation. I know they're playing it safe and I appreciate not having to trudge through the snow if things turn but...
I had things to do today...

I live in the Kent highlands and we got a minor dusting at best.

Wonder if it was Covington that shut the schools down then?
Just got done shoveling and salting the driveway. Got about 8 inches here in North Kitsap.
Definitely a snowpocalypse: several road closures, cars spun out and/or ditched, downed powerlines, etc.

Just went for a walk around the neighborhood and by the lake itself. Lots of snow from this morning has melted, but we've got this wet snow mixture coming down steadily with nothing sticking. The temp is supposed to hit freezing around 5 or 6, but if nothing else it's really pretty to watch from inside.

RIP snowpocalypse. Only rain now mostly
Where are you?
North Seattle is still showing snow this evening through tomorrow morning with a high of 31. Guess it all depends on where you are in relation to the mythical convergence zone.

Portland forecasts went from being snow basically all 5 weekdays this week to...maybe snow Tuesday but it won't stick.
Disappointing, was looking for an excuse to work from home with my sick cat :(

I heard that it's starting to snow in downtown Seattle. Seems to have stopped all day here in South Everett
It's right above freezing at the moment but should be dropping in the next hour or so. We'll see what happens.
I'm around the Spokane area, and had to shovel three times yesterday. Got about another 2" overnight. I have about 2-3' berms on the side of my driveway. Temperatures in the mid- to upper-20s now.
It looks like the forecast for the rest of the week changed a bit. Yesterday, it looked like we had a chance of snow for Wed-Fri but it looks like that's changed to cloudy weather and rain.
It's always good times to see 4WD trucks stuck off the road because some yahoo thought they're impervious to a sheet of sheer ice.
Weather report here north of Seattle shows snow likely from 10 PM tonight to 2 PM tomorrow. Now nothing on Thursday with a mix of snow and rain Friday.

Yeah, there are a couple of geniuses around me with diesel trucks drifting around the corner here. I just watched one of them wipe out going up the hill behind my house.
