Currently 33 F, with a Dew Point of 11 F. Light Snow and Light Freezing Rain is falling at the moment, with lots more precip moving into my area. East Wind has increased to a steady 10 mph or so. 8-)

Freezing rain/ice/snow all falling in Mukilteo. Everything is already glazed over. I wonder how long this will last? Could become pretty dangerous soon.

It's interesting to watch this freezing rain. It looks like rain when it hits the window, but the drops of water freeze on contact. It's weird. We now have moderate freezing rain...temperature has dropped about a degree with evaporative cooling.

Temperature continues to drop, now down to 31 F with a Dew Point of 17 F. Moderate Freezing Rain at the moment, everything is covered. When the droplets fall, they are already frozen so it looks a little bit like hail at times. We also have occasional light snow mixing in with the Light Freezing Rain.

Interesting combination of ice pellets and freezing rain. Starting to accumulate rather quickly. Temperature has dropped to 30 F, dewpoint is slowly rising though. Tree branches are starting to weigh down. The roads are a mess.

Moderate freezing rain/ice pellets. Everything is covered. Temperature is down to 29 F, dewpoint at 20 F. Anyone notice the current surface low off the Oregon coast?! Looks kind of interesting...current track would take it into Vancouver Island.
