Was watching at work with my earbuds in - getting hyped for some winter weather! It's 12:30AM and 37F in North Creek with moderate, very wet snow falling. Thanks for all the great info and taking the time to chat with us!
As a 60 yr old living in Bellingham the entire time, it's interesting how excited people get over these events. Many yr's ago, we would get several Fraser R. or arctic air with very high winds each winter. Snow drifting several feet deep. The events would last up to 2 weeks. Whatcom Co. PUD would place snow drift fencing along the North County Rds before winter even began. These are no longer placed. Then the un-freezing. There would be many Rd closers due to softness underneath. All seems to have changed for overall warmer winters!
@@fishonkz996 Wow thankyou for sharing yes I remember to in Everett Wash. when I was little we had snow every winter and our lake froze over and we all went ice skating Iam close to your age. Yes weather has changed.
In areas where you get snow you are use to it. First snow fall you just know winter is moving in. Here it's different. People are not use to living in snow conditions for 2-4 months. They don't get enough events to learn how to drive in the snow comfortably. Or people willing to actually invest into winter tires. My family is from the mid west and you just got use to mounds of snow build up after it moved in. Mid west is a bit different it's flat land. Not here it's hills galore. Plus the infostructure is not designed for snow. A flurry and the school system closes for the day. Not in the mid west if parents do not dress their kids warm enough they can get in trouble for it. I also noticed that people tend to fear snow around here not like other areas of the country. Well, that's because we get so few events it shuts down society because we don't understand it. It's not part of our culture to know how to deal with it.
My son lives in SW Minnesota and he said it's unusual weather. They normally have about a foot of frozen base by now. He said they've had a couple dustings amounting to nothing. He's lived there going on 20 years now. Most the time they already have snow drifts against the house to 5 feet.
In the earlier part of the livestream,you were asking about a cell on Van Island that was behaving like a thunderstorm. I don't remember exactly what time,but around 9:40-9:50ish,it hit our area. No lightning or thunder,but torrential downpour of hail/graupel! It was incredibly loud! Lasted maybe 5 mins. Thetis Lake area,on Southern Van Island.
@PacificNorthwestWeather I kept hoping!!🤣 Maybe we will get lucky with one of the convective showers today or tomorrow🤞 I've ALWAYS wanted to experience that! Especially because we don't often have the chance of it happening here.
I've also seen these Low's drop South like this and Bellingham gets almost no snow. Usually, though, this would happen as the Fraser outflow starts too soon. The dryer Canadian air just evaporates the moisture as Low approaches. Or, the Low will drift just a bit too far West away from the Coast. This Low however, does still looks to stay close enough! As you said, these storms are and will be a "Now Cast"!
Yeah coming from Whistler back to Vancouver this evening, suddenly we went from heavy rain to clear, windy and the temperature fell as we got groceries in North Vancouver.
Don't like saying it, but this will be a bust for metro areas in I-5 corridor...limited moisture, low trending further offshore, marginal temps, not coming together. For the coastal ranges it could be a bit sporty and fun!
It is still snowing in Victoria, some places where I’m at (saanich) received several rounds of heavy bursts of flurries, nice blanket of snow here.
Big flop in NW Montana (whitefish), we got nothing! No wind, no rain and maybe 1/4 inch dusting of snow.

It’s snowing near Victoria (3:30am)! One of the few spots that didn’t look like it would get any. So…
Most places will see snow, how much is the question
Alreeady getting a dustinf in east tacoma this morning about 630 am sat!
No snow in N. Seattle so far…
Here in SW Wa, we got about a 15 min burst of heavy pea sized hail. Other than that, nothing but heavy drizzling rain.
