This is the view that greeted me from my back door this morning:
Just a sprinkling of snow, but this is just the teaser I think for what is going to come tonight. We’re under a winter storm warning. The forecasters seem to be having an absolute fit trying to model this storm. I’ve been checking my weather app a lot this week, and there seems to be absolutely loads of variability with wildly different forecasts every time I check – anything from no snow to a couple of feet. It looks like south of Seattle got the worst of it last night – but I think everyone is going to get hit by the next band tonight. Currently, I’m forecast to get 3-5 inches tonight and another 1-3 inches on Saturday. We were also supposed to be getting some more snow on Sunday night in a concluding third act, but that seems to have disappeared from the forecast. So hopefully this will pass quicker than the “snowpocalypse” 2 years ago. But my goodness me it is cold today – it can’t have got above freezing all day. I’ve already been out to check the driveway – kind of icy, but I think I could take my car out if I really needed to (which fortunately I don’t – I already stocked up on my groceries a few days ago). Also refilled my hummingbird feeder that had frozen up – but I have no idea if those little guys will be out and about much today, if they even survive these kind of below freezing temperatures for the next few days.
