Thursday, January 19, 5:20 P.M. Hi everybody, this is just a quick update… the snow has stuck around longer than forecast, and freezing rain has mainly impacted areas south of Seattle, sparing the Seattle area itself. The snow has been going on all day here, and I’d say UW got about 2 inches out of […]
Ice Storm Warning
Thursday, January 19, 2012 11:06 A.M. As if snow wasn’t bad enough… After the major snowstorm yesterday, another storm was forecast, but precipitation was only supposed to make it to Olympia. The models turned out being wrong with this storm, and precipitation is located all the way to the eastern entrance to the Strait of […]

I’m Losing Sleep…
Monday, January 16, 2012 1:03 P.M. I’ve tried to be as objective as possible with these forecasts, because while Seattle freaks out over the “s” word, it needs to be made clear to the public that there are drastically different types of snow events in Washington and not all of them are serious. Now, it […]
