This will be my page for snow updates for the night.
6:49 p.m.: currently lightly snowing in the U District with temperatures around freezing. Surprisingly, it actually is sticking on some cars and even some sections of black pavement. Some feature looks to have developed off of the system coming in and is spreading more snow northward than previously thought.

As you can see, the snow has spread northward and is starting to come to an end on the coast. I’d say we have around an hour of steady snow left for Seattle, and then we’ll turn to more scattered stuff.
Oh yeah. The dewpoint, which was near 20, is near 30, and the temperature, which was 42 this afternoon, is now 32. That’s the power of evaporative cooling.
I’m upping my snow predictions for Seattle once again. Widespread amounts of 1-2.5 inches amongst the city, with lower amounts by the water and higher amounts on the hills are what I believe are in store for us for the remainder of the evening.
