Huh, so it did actually snow then. March snow! What a concept! It's only sticking to cars and fences and trees not sidewalks or roads, so I'm guessing it's not too icy out and it will be gone by noon. But huh. This winter has been so warm, it seems strange to see such a thing.

A little chilly out, but still good 👍

#seattle #WaWx

Oh haha, maybe not gone by noon then 😬

This dingdong did not spend the night in the cat house like I told her to!!! Still showed up for food though.

Sent the kid off to catch the bus to school. Never have I felt more justified in my past insistence that everyone has good wool socks and a winter layer "just in case" 👍

9am update: way more snow than I expected 👀 and KEXP's signal is having real problems, my radio can't pick it up at all :(

Noon check in: big huge flakes, 33°F, and no sign of stopping.

Everyone in this city is like "it will stop any minute now! Any... minute... now." But it's forecast now until at least 7pm, so that Any Minute Now is a while away yet.

4:30pm check in: this time in video form, because it's cold enough that it's never stopped snowing but warm enough that nothing has really accumulated, so it looks unimpressive now without movement. I wonder what tomorrow morning will look like? Glazed?

#seattle #WaWx

Looks like the forecast was right: the snow just finished up. Nice.

@paparatti still snowing at my house in Tacoma :D
@paparatti We’ve got giant fat flakes coming down hard on First Hill right now, but practically no accumulation all day.
@garland it really feels like the firehose was directed at us. I said this to someone else earlier: microclimates! In action!
@paparatti I'm here next to my window, longingly watching your video, from the cold but definitely not snowy at all neighboring county.

@paparatti I know if it sticks on the sidewalk it will go from "melt" through "slush" to "iced on" EXTREMELY DAMN QUICKLY

as the only person on my block who reliably shovels I try to keep an eye on it

I could salt, but the fishies

@paparatti In Greenwood, we're at "the snow turned into rain" at midday (or what passes for midday during DST).
@jmeowmeow microclimates in action!
@paparatti v much! "the convergence zone" gets blamed for a lot but I suspect this is mostly marine influence
@paparatti and then a little snow mixed with rain, as it is on the threshold of springtime
@paparatti You can’t tell cats nothin’, at least that they’ll listen to.
@paparatti apparently she's not that kind of girl
@paparatti oh wow you got quite some snow! I'm looking out my window but we barely got wintry mix.
@paparatti You all got snow? I’m envious.
@paparatti nice! I’m jealous, we have nothing but rain.
