West Seattle snow: A flaky afternoon/evening, but…

On-and-off snow showers continue this afternoon in West Seattle – never seems to be everywhere at once, according to the notes, texts, and calls we’ve received, plus our observation – but the National Weather Service‘s “special weather statement” is still in effect, updated at 5 this morning with the ongoing possibility of snow showers this afternoon/evening (as we’re seeing), and then that potential “snow event” at midweek. Latest word from weather analyst Cliff Mass is this update titled: Chances Of Major Snowstorm Fading. The NWS has just updated its four-times-daily “forecast discussion,” casting its own blanket of doubt, including: “Much has changed in the runs over the past couple model cycles making a very large snow event much less likely.”

    I just read komo 4’s forecast (updated @ 3pm) and it said (in my own words) a snow cloud is moving south through the Bellevue Seattle Corridor….. I haven’t seen anything worth talking about yet……….. :)

    What? The odds if interesting weather have faded and we are going to have boring weather instead? Shocking. That never happens in Seattle. :/

    Dammit! I demand a major snow event as forecast! I spent a good chunk of this weekend preparing and was so looking forward to playing in the snow…
