snow on the hills
Someone asked about snow this morning...yes, it is cold enough that I would not be surprised to snow mixed in at higher elevations in the lowlands (above 500 ft)....the latest profiler in Seattle shows a freezing level of 1500 ft, so there could be snow down to 1000 ft below that...and precipiation could cause the freezng level to drop a bit.

Snowing atop Union Hill in Redmond (~600'). Lightly sticking to the grass, and trees. Accumulating very slowly. Been going like this for about an hour.
ReplyDeleteLake Stevens 8:43am 300'
ReplyDeleteWe've had a mix of light to moderate rain/snow all morning. It feels very very cold outside (almost like it's freezing rain or sleet?) when I took the dogs for a walk.
I don't expect any accumulation, but I was hoping for it to be a lot warmer!
Snowing for the last hour in Maple Valley. Sticking pretty good now.
ReplyDeleteSnowing like crazy in Maltby. I think it is a colossal April fools joke from the weather gods.
ReplyDeleteGetting white here on Cougar Mountain (Issaquah)~800ft. Sticking since about 8am. Nothing like the 2+ inches we got April 20, 2008, but still enough to dream of tickets to Maui.
ReplyDeleteSnowing in Olympia, not on the roads yet.
ReplyDeleteSteady light rain/snow mix here in Woodinville atop Hollywood hill elevation 300ft. Temp 33 with dp of 31.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually snowing but not sticking up in Haller Lake/N Seattle.
ReplyDeleteSnowing in the hills of Gig Harbor (about 300ft) all morning. Slight accumulation of slush, but it seems to be snowing harder now. Temp is slowly going down too.
ReplyDeleteRain / snow mix just started in Magnolia (Seattle!) Not sticking. Seems like it might only last for a few minutes!
ReplyDeleteSnowed hard on San Juan Island this morning, at sea level! About 1/2 inch accumulation that is sticking around pretty easily. Rooftops still covered in white and ground all slushy.
ReplyDeleteSnowing now in Downtown
ReplyDeleteSammamish snow too, just a little dusting on my grass, nothing to shout about.
ReplyDeleteMixed snow and rain on top of Queen Anne Hill. Not sticking at all (even on grass or trees).
ReplyDeleteSnowing in Fairwood, has been since 8AM, starting to stick.
ReplyDeleteIt was a mix of snow and rain earlier this morning up in Shoreline, near Ballinger Lake. By the time I left for work around 8:45, it was snowing - albeit pretty wet snow. April Fools from the Weather Gods indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt snowed at my house in Tacoma (350 feet) much of the morning. Not sticking like it did (a little bit) Saturday night though.
ReplyDeleteMostly rain but a few flakes coming down on Bainbridge. Fun! Happy April. (I'm about 170 feet elev.)
ReplyDeleteAs @slugbiker said, snowing heavily here on Queen Anne, ~450ft, but not sticking.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that "snow above 500 feet" generally includes QA even though we are well below 500 feet. Does the topography actually lower the snow level in some way? Or is 500 just easier to say than 400?
Snowing for past hour at 400 ft in Newcastle. Temp 34 F.
ReplyDeleteIt was snowing at my office in Downtown Seattle (14th floor) and snowing/raining now on Phinney Ridge (200 ft).
ReplyDeleteI am no longer amused! I am ready for my peas to sprout!
Been snowing all morning in Haller Lake/N Seattle, but is now turning to rain as noon approached. What's on tap for tonight?
ReplyDeleteIt sunny and 75 degrees in the U District. Oh, wait...its raining and cold. My bad.
ReplyDeleteSaw rain and show mix here in Ballard this morning.
ReplyDeleteHey zero-speed....it just may feel pretty mild over the weekend and perhaps coming close to 70 come Sun or Mon? That`s kinda what it looks like right now, but we`ll see.
