I had about 2" on my car when I went out at noon. It was sticking to the grass and vegetation and even the streets and sidewalks were slushy. We have a weather station here at our building and the temp dropped from 39 f at 7:00 to 33 f at 10:00. It's now back up to 36. I've lived in Olympia for 24 years and don't remember it snowing this early in the year. larchitechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405453993339905510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-66934665131709713192017-11-03T13:14:46.111-07:002017-11-03T13:14:46.111-07:00Still snowing on Bainbridge at sea levelStill snowing on Bainbridge at sea levelIsland Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392985169758538473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-3224170939196754032017-11-03T13:10:23.438-07:002017-11-03T13:10:23.438-07:00Everything was frosted/slushy this morning in Capi...Everything was frosted/slushy this morning in Capitol Hill, and it's been snowing heavily for at least an hour here as of 1pm.<br /><br />Would have been nice to have a little heads-up that snow in Seattle was a possibility.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355001890591071849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-24946638190491362122017-11-03T12:48:36.244-07:002017-11-03T12:48:36.244-07:00Just before 1pm and snowing at sea level Kingston....Just before 1pm and snowing at sea level Kingston.Mike Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327447746018294303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-82112415207473993442017-11-03T12:46:42.479-07:002017-11-03T12:46:42.479-07:00Snowing in Kingston at 12:43pm... we're at sea...Snowing in Kingston at 12:43pm... we're at sea level.Mike Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327447746018294303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-41015915826782024732017-11-03T12:45:53.705-07:002017-11-03T12:45:53.705-07:00Starting to snow again in Bellevue, at least 10 fl...Starting to snow again in Bellevue, at least 10 floors up it is.
