TT's right, everything is going pretty much as planned.

Ice Pellets are turning over to moderate snow now, everything is beginning to get covered with white. Temperature down to 30 F now and falling.

TT's right, everything is going pretty much as planned.

But, it looks as if the changeover to just plain old rain everywhere, may take a lot longer than previously thought. We will just have to wait and see.

[W13]

East winds are picking up, 5-7 mph now, and the temperature continues to go down. Now down to 29 F, it has dropped two degrees in the last 20 minutes or so.

Moderate snow blowing side ways.

[R-Dub]

All snow here, I'll get out and take some pics before dark! Temp 30.9 degrees.

[W13]

Light Ice Pellets and Light Snow with a temp of 29 F as of 3:01 PM

[W13]

Looks like more moderate precip is forming again near Olympia.

We're under a Winter Weather Advisory...I guess that cold air is playing tough to the warm, southwesterly flow. We still have moderate freezing rain, but there's a new batch of heavier precip moving in from the south. I officially had to cancel my b-day party for tonight. That sucks, but I would rather have winter weather than a b-day party!! lol. Looks like the changeover to rain won't occur until midnight or there after.

[R-Dub]

Winter weather warning in effect until 4:00AM Sunday morning!

[R-Dub]

All snow here still and the temp has dropped now down to 29.4 degrees! Wasn't it supposed to go the other way

Same temperature here and Light Ice Pellets. Next batch of heavier precip should be all snow, as much of the last batch was.

Friday Harbor turning white, looks similar to what we have here at my house.

I see Seattle has gone back to freezing after being up to 38 degrees earlier.

[AnthonyC]

Still moderate freezing rain. Temperature is at a steady 29 F. Just went outside to walk around, and it was like an ice rink. Thin layer of ice, half an inch of snow, thin layer of ice...this can never be good. All the roads are covered.

[TT-SEA]

Ice pellets... freezing rain... GONE

Snowing hard now...winter wonderland here.

Just drove around and its a mess out there. Road are icy and snow-covered and traffic is crawling along.

Winds dying down a little... snow accumulating. Grass is pretty much white now.

Happy Birthday AnthonyC Snowing here, wind seems to be blowing the snow from north to south direction. but I'm not sure.

[TT-SEA]

Temperature has fallen from 34 degrees at 1 p.m. to 28 degrees now. Dewpoint is still at 19 degrees!!

Snow coming down harder than ever. Amazing here in North Bend. Looks like a blizzard out there with the winds.

[andrewr]

All freezing rain here and getting some ice-cycles forming.
