A dusting of ice pellets in Port Angeles... Sequim... and Port Townsend. My parents are in Sequim right now and they said just some light hail there during the night.

Heckelville Shed and State Camp are at a higher elevation.

I just HAVE to post before I sleep the rest of the week away and float out to the Pacific when we get rain for 5 1/2 days straight as we are progged to do starting tomorrow night.

Answer me this, oh dear Seattle area wx buds:

Why the hostility??!!?!

Stay safe down there Joshua!! Sounds like you guys are expecting more mudslides, and such.

On the hostility part, its between two or so members here, and hopefully they will work it out. Its more debating then hostility, but its IS on the verge of more.

TT...You are correct...Covington certainly gets the shaft on snow with these situations. We do much better when a southern branch low tracks just to the south. Another situation where we can do well is if a cold surface low tracks right down the Puget Sound basin. In April 2001, we had snow here when nobody else got it with that situation. The other one that can get us is a true NW flow, where we are not blocked by the Olympics. That having been said, I will be moving to Palmer in the next year or two, and then I will get my snow. I will be highly interested to see who gets more snow between there and your area.

According to my mom we were getting light snow early this morning. I live about 15 minutes outside of Covington.

By Palmer do you mean in this state, or Palmer, Alaska? I think you would be the big snow winner if you moved to Palmer AK! My grandparents used to live there, tons O snow!!!

Seattle is currently getting a Thunderstorm Snowshower!

Still only 32 degrees in Shoreline, its 37 degrees here at my house.

I am refering to Palmer about 5 miles SE of Ravensdale. Nearly 1000 feet and a strong outflow area from Stampede Pass. They get a lot of snow there. Even in Janaury they came up with a nice shot and drifts. In January 1950 they had 116 inches... :eek:

The C zone is moving south...maybe it will get to south King County yet. I just wish it had happend around dawn instead of so late in the day.

Looks like the LK Sammamish, Issaquah area are getting snow right now!

R-Dub · #2074 Postby **R-Dub** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:22 pm

TT might even see a flake or two!!

Maybe that will get him back into the winter mood :lol:

Issaquah looking like a winter wonderland now!!

We are getting a little bit in Covington now. This is not just an isolated event any more. I ask...Who was closer to being correct about the early part of this week?

Light snow and hail/sleet right now!

EDIT: North Bend should be or should have gotten something.

R-Dub · #2079 Postby **R-Dub** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 3:31 pm

Looks like everyone here has has at least a little winter weather over the last 24hrs!! Can you imagine what this thread would be like if we had a Dec 1990, or Dec 1996 Storm!! probably 300 pages in a day or two :eek:

Would be mighty quiet here though if we had another columbus day windstorm, nobody would have power :lol:

Still continuing to get the snow/hail mix. Nothing is really sticking except to a few tarps, but it is very nice to watch.
