The one good thing about this turn in the weather besides it matching my mood is that it’s a lot easier to just hideout and work on my lit review that’s due in two weeks. #PNWwx

Spent a half hour pushing 3" of very heavy, very wet snow off my car just now
Car sits centered on the ridge line of a 2-story condo, hard up against the north side, so it doesn't get any direct sunshine four months out of the year
If I don't get the snow off today while I can move it and it freezes hard overnight (32-33F degrees forecast) I'll have my car entombed in 3" of Cascade Concrete tomorrow
So...

I mean, do people have lobotomies when it snows, or what?
Just saw somebody in a very late-model 2-door sporty coupe, maybe an Acura, maybe a BMW 7-series, drive out the dead end street right outside my office windows and turn right onto the road into town.
His entire right-side windows were entirely -- entirely -- covered with snow
Maybe an inch-plus on the roof
He's not going to be able to see *anything* off to the right side of him -- nothing -- no passenger-side mirror either
"I know it's snowing but I'm driving straight ahead and I know exactly where I'm going. Why would I need to see anything out to my right side?"
Good lord...

Welp…
Hot damn… it's actually *snowing* here
Puget Sound lowlands, at about 250 feet above sea level on an island surrounded by 50 degree salt water 600 feet deep off to the east toward the mainland
Doppler radar on Precip Depiction mode shows a good-sized wedge of cold blue air pointing out to the west, so it looks like it may keep snowing for a while

"Winds, heavy rain leave thousands without power across western Washington
WASHINGTON STATE — Strong winds and steady rain moved through western Washington on Wednesday, knocking out power to tens of thousands of customers and toppling trees across the region.
Utilities reported widespread outages as gusty conditions intensified throughout the afternoon and evening."
And there ya have it...

Just before 1am/0100PST it began to rain very hard, with a strong wind. As the rain tapered off, the wind intensified, making what was almost a grating sound. At 0107PST, @czds and I heard thunder

Looks like we picked up 8 (?) inches of snow overnight here in #cleElum. 29 degrees at hill side weather station.
My extended Forcast ends on Sat Jan 10 th with 34 degrees for a forcast low. The average low for much of Jan is 25 degrees. Yes, 9 degrees warmer which continues the trend my eye balls have been witnessing . :(

huh...
Both Snoqualmie Pass I-90 and Stevens Pass US Hwy 2, Washington, are reporting snow
Snoqualmie Pass at 3022 ft, Stevens Pass at 4061 ft in the Cascade Mountains
Can't see anything sticking, and no temperatures reported because we're not in the "reporting" season yet...

huh...
As of 8:38 am PDT May 19 it looks like it's snowing pretty good up at Stevens Pass US 2 in Washington state
Stevens is at 4,061 feet so I'm not surprised, and there's bands of rain down in the Puget Sound lowlands
Weether reports have stopped for the year so it's just eyeball reporting
Looks a little plowed, maybe
