I've been getting nothing but sleet and freezing rain for the last few hours (even though it's only 24 degrees right now), and based on the radar it looks like freezing rain is the only thing I'll be getting overnight. We were supposed to get another 4-8 inches of snow, but I guess we'll be getting at least half an inch of ice instead.
The accumulation here in T-Town has surpassed six inches. Now the winds are increasing and the lights are flickering.
Time to ensure my phone and Switch are fully charged.

We've got about an inch so far in the last few hours, and forecast to snow through much of the night.
The different weather sites are all over the map so we'll see. Some call for rain tomorrow afternoon, others say snow through Tuesday.
Either way, I have no reason to go anywhere so just watch from indoors.

Always good to see a fellow taru blm. Snow also coming down in UP quite well.
Snow finally made it to Canada..... we've got a cm or 2 so far on Vancouver Island and should get 15-30cm this weekend if forecasts are right. Hopefully more.
Pretty sure that's 4-5 feet per your imperial system of measurement? No idea

I was asleep when it started snowing again, but I woke up to quite a bit! It even settled on the roads this time. Please be careful if you have to go out.
Got a pretty good amount of snow last night and it's 100% chance of snow until 3:00 this afternoon.
I live downtown Victoria and I was hoping we'd just get a light dusting while everywhere else on the island got more š
The snowplow hit the main roads once and barricaded the side roads. Saw like 3 people stuck and we almost got stuck trying to go into our own apartments.
I keep seeing snow slide off the slanted roof of the darth vader tower in downtown Seattle and then falling down like 25 stories.

Got about 7-8 in Auburn. Beautiful day for a walk. We were supposed to go and visit the in-laws today who live Snohomish. Saying "fuck that" for sure. Literally too many risks
Yeah I'm trapped in Tumwater atm. I stayed over at a close freind in my pandemic bubble last night to watch WandaVision, and now cant get back to Olympia. Glad I don't work until monday, and we have food and a Fred Meyer in walking distance.
My area got more ice (sleet and freezing rain) than snow. None of my neighbors have made any attempt to shovel their sidewalks, so I'm just following their lead. I know that it's basically a thin layer of snow, freezing rain under that, sleet under that, and refrozen ice under that, so I feel like removal will only make it worse. Hopefully the most dangerous thing I'll have to do today is waddle out to the mailbox.
Had to work down in Fife this morning. Drive home on I5 through Tacoma was fun. Probably have a good 7 inches and still dumping.

Downtown Olympia here. Just saw someone drive up 4th ave in a snowmobile.
Great pic! š¶
Dogs are having the time of their life lol at my girlfriend's place in des moines
It just WILL NOT STOP in Tacoma. Tried to go for a walk around the block and couldn't even handle the mostly-covered sidewalks. Saw maybe two cars brave enough to try driving.
It's nuts. I don't think it's quite as bad as that insanity we got two years ago just yet but it will be soon.

Someone in my neighborhood was trying to get moving in a 4 door sedan without even any chains. I know we don't get a lot of snow here but come on.
Still snowing north of Seattle. I'm just staying inside.
Heard from my mom they're staying at a hotel as the power's out. They live outside Snohomish and a whole bunch of trees are down up that way. A neighbor chainsawed through two downed trees so people could get out.

My wife and I shoveled the sidewalks this morning and then threw down a little ice melt over the pavement. Snow hasn't let up by the sidewalks are still bare. What a miracle.
Now if only more people would shovel.

We got no snow, only ice which has melted enough so that roads are generally fairly decent. I've been without power (and in turn, heat) for like 14 hours now and the power company is disorganized enough that they're not able to actually provide any outage updates.
