At least you'll be afforded some excellent sledding opportunities.

Washington/OregonERA: Snowmageddon Coming!
- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
Yup quite serious flurries here in Wallyhood with bigger flakes than the initial batch. That said there were little windows of sunlight ten minutes ago so I expect changeable.
I was driving her car and basically every user responsibility light from tire pressure to oil change is lit up like a pinball machine and making all the right tilt noises
So I just had my fifth "calm voice" explanation in twenty years -- to Mrs Stinkles about why driving with no windshield wiper fluid isn't a purely aesthetic choice. I once had to make her a temporary emergency batch from half a bottle Crystal Geyser, snow melted in a salad bowl on the radiator, a stolen hotel body wash and half a bottle of belvedere when she ran out on the Blewitt pass.
She thinks of cars as a completely sealed system like an Apple TV or a bike computer. Literally didn't know where the hood release was.
Edit. Winds howling! /geralt

I bought a lot of dry goods, some canned tuna/chicken, and a loaf of bread. My plan is to subsist on that if the power goes out. As for heat, I guess I'll wear layers and hide under several blankets.
Seattle closed early, so glad we won't get a 5am call.
It's my daughter's birthday tomorrow, she is not thrilled about no school and being stuck at home.

About an inch already in NE Seattle, coming down too.
I checked online about 3pm and they had canceled already. My daughter is Pre-K so even a Seattle SD 2 hour delay cancels their school (not worth it at that point when it's normally 4 hours long). She only had Thursday and Friday last week, likely to be the same this week it looks.
Been snowing since around 3 p.m. over here on the Eastside. Been coming down hard for over an hour now, too.
Coming back from a boarding day in Crystal mountain. Holy blizzard in Seattle.
I-5 passing west Seattle Bridge, it's pretty covered up

Looks like the snow is getting wetter, but at this point there's no way work is happening properly tomorrow and I NEED to get to the office. Further, a lot of folks are supposed to be traveling this week for a conference and I am scared to look at flights...

The forecasters can't seem to agree where the rain/snow line will be. If it will
Be north of Everett or North of Tacoma.
4-12 inches tomorrow, on the less end is for areas that change to rain/sleet sooner. Areas like Bellingham etc supposed to get 12 inches I believe.

Yikes, half my office won't be showing up if that is the case.
Bham finally getting that snow! Almost died driving home because hills. Great excuse not to go to work tomorrow lmao.
I went outside and started shoveling the sidewalks around 8pm and there was a gigantic blue flash that lit up the sky, so I'm guessing a transformer blew. Then after that staring south toward the Univesity and downtown I saw thick black smoke swirling above I-5 from my patio (I'm at 68th NE). The whole time I was out there shoveling the smoke continued but we never lost power and I don't see any mention of it on Twitter. Anyone?
Also, heavy rain for a few minutes after the snow stopped and before the temperature dropped again. Gonna have some ice on top of snow in the morning now.

Yeah, weather forecasters were totally incorrect about this hitting hard in oregon. Absolutely nothing here in eugene and all the snow forecasted has been replaced by rain and above freezing temps.
I just went out and shoveled my drive. It seems to have stopped snowing in Bothell/Woodinville. It was just kinda lightly raining/sleeting, nothing that I was concerned about. It was also kinda warmer out than I thought it'd be. Hopefully it just stays like this all night.
So weird how micro climate this is. I'm maybe six or seven miles as the crow flies, same altitude... And our shitty old uninsulated house is FREEZING. As cold as I remember it.
Someone translate this for me lol. Is he saying it's just going to be normal rain tomorrow? (as opposed to freezing rain).
Cliff Mass now saying it's possible what we're getting tomorrow night will be rain, which means tons of slush on Tuesday: https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2019/02/slushmagedon.html
