I sincerely hope you are wrong.

It's snowing here!!!

When I woke up this morning we had about a half-inch around me. Must have been really localized 'cause when I got to work they had none there at all.

Vashon118 · February 10th, 2009, 05:15 PM

Just started snowing in the Belltown area around 7:00 am.

Nothing fell on Vashon yesterday (if it did it was gone by the time I got up).

CrazyAboutCities · February 10th, 2009, 09:46 PM

Last night, we had nasty hail attack at First Hill neighborhood. I couldn't stand hail, they hurts! I would trade hail for snow or rain!

USAPatriot · February 10th, 2009, 10:18 PM

It's been snowing for about two days here in the north sound....

Vashon118 · February 10th, 2009, 11:07 PM

Just started snowing again (sometime around 1:00). Doesn't appear to be sticking.

JacobR · February 10th, 2009, 11:42 PM

1/2"+ just above downtown Tacoma. Still coming down hard.

Damn, now thats a forecast. I doubt this one turns into a monster, but you nailed the date and it is definitely snowing across the region.

***Bond James Bond*** · February 11th, 2009, 07:19 AM

It was snowing for a while here but now it's stopped.

G5man · February 14th, 2009, 06:25 AM

I'm starting to want the good old rain to come back. There has not been much new snow in the mountains and forecasts keep coming up dry for weeks on end. Anyone sick of just having clouds around and barely and sun?

CrazyAboutCities · February 14th, 2009, 08:25 AM

Not really. I have been enjoying sunshine lately... Please give it few more days then have rains back.

sequoias · February 14th, 2009, 08:18 PM

I agree, I need more sunshine...had enough with gloomy days. I'm from California, so give me some time.

Joosanova · February 15th, 2009, 06:59 AM

Well,

For those of you who like split-flow weather then you are going to love the next 7-10 days as the current pattern looks to hold firm and allow virtually no moisture and cold air in as the Upper Jet is splitting out around 140W.

For those of you who like filtered sunshine and cool temps then you'll be happy to know that your wish for the current pattern to continue will be granted.

And for those of you who are unhappy no matter the weather here.. All I can do is offer up this advice: F******* MOVE !!!!

Joosanova · February 23rd, 2009, 11:30 PM

So as some of you may know the weather lately has sucked around here.

When I say sucked I mean the following:

Benign and non-eventful

Mild and somewhat sunny with a consistent split-flow pattern....

Stay Tuned.... Details at 11.....

***Bond James Bond*** · February 24th, 2009, 06:47 AM

It felt like November today, especially as I was driving home from work.

My girlfriend is a recent midwest transplant whom I promised some sweet extratropical midlatitude windstorms this winter. What gives?

WESTSEATTLEGUY · February 25th, 2009, 08:31 AM

Snow on Thursday???

sequoias · February 25th, 2009, 06:11 PM

CrazyAboutCities · February 25th, 2009, 07:33 PM

Seriously? Wow We are having more snows than before... WOW!

It's called a Neutral ENSO or Typical Winter ( if there is a such a thing )

So basically you can bet on almost anything happening during a Neutral ENSO year which is what we're going through this year.

Case in point: If it happens ... Cool
If it doesn't: Whatever
