Yes, It's Snowing in the Lowlands!

Well....there are flakes outside my window now and many stations in western WA are reporting light snow.

Quite honestly, our forecasting models had the timing of this band off by at least 6 hours....it came much earlier than expected.   With cool, dry air in place, the precipitation either started as snow or rain turning into snow.   Here is the latest radar (1:18 PM)....generally light.

And the latest visible satellite image shows the cloud band.  Still clear on the coast.

I really don't expect more than a dusting in most Puget Sound locations.  There was considerable more around Portland (1-2 inches), as suggested by this cam image from Portland:

Here is the National Weather Service "weather story" on the snow.  There was much more south and east of Tacoma (as much as 1-1.5 inches) than over Seattle.
