West Seattle Weather Watch: Fleeting mention of possible snow

Last time “possible snow” was mentioned fleetingly in the “forecast discussion,” this happened. (Was that really only A WEEK AGO?) So in the interest of “no surprises,” we’re noting that it’s mentioned fleetingly here in the regional overview for tomorrow:

ONCE AGAIN…PRECIP TYPE MAY BE TRICKY DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW…TEMPS IN THE LOWER 30S AND LOW SNOW LEVELS. COULD SEE LIGHT SNOW IN THE LOWLANDS…ESPECIALLY THE HOOD CANAL REGION.

Last year, we had a few brief bouts of spring snow, including one as late as April 19th (here’s the proof).

Thanks for mentioning the bouts of spring snow of last year because a lot of people seem to have forgot! However, I have not. During the most recent snowy morning someone said to me “I don’t ever think it has snowed this late in the winter/early spring.” I can remember a handful of times. Last year I was moving to my new house in the snow. And I clearly remember doing snow angels in front of daffodils in a significant amount of snow about 7 or so years ago.

The thing about this winter that is strange is how many times we had snowfall. I’ve lost count of that. :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
