Start of a storm. A bit of sheet lightning caught on my phone.







Clouds looked darker by eye.

Randi- Is the hurricane headed your way?

[Randi]

Not as far as I know.
We have had quite a bit of rain, but that is all.

[pommystuart]

We got NO rain from the storm below, it cleared away before it reached us and we could see the stars within an hour of the pictures.

[Randi]

First snow of the season!

When I left for the grocery store, it was pinhead size flakes.
When I returned from the grocery store, it was big, wet flakes.

[Randi]

It stopped snowing awhile ago.
Now, some roofs, cars, and lawns have snow on them, but it has melted on most of the sidewalks and streets.

I may have posted this before, but here the results of Michigan's snowplow naming contest: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/ ... 9169214002

Randi, Did you get Lake effect show? I am guessing not 77". (I am only 61 inches.)

[Randi]

No. We are normally clear of the lake effect snow. We just had a little bit and that has already melted.
However, today was cold with a low of 19F and a high of 29F.

Tomorrow the low is supposed to be 27F with a high of 45F.

[pommystuart]

Tuesday to Friday this week we should have a low of 12-15c and highs of 24-26c
Not hard to take.

Just got the first Winter snow here late yesterday and last night. Only about an inch here, but surrounding areas got much more.

[Morgan]

Are you up higher than Seattle? Will it stay? Now that I have been to the Seattle area once, I have a better "mind's picture" of the area. In September, We had a really warm pleasant day looking up at the snow on Mt Rainier.

[ggordon]

I'm in Kent, about 20 miles SE of Seattle and slightly higher elevation. I can't see Mt. Rainier from my house, but get great views of the mountain when I go places in town. There is a small ridge between my house and Puget Sound. So the weather here away from the water is usually a little more extreme than in Seattle. However, this time around Seattle got far more snow than here. There's still a light snow falling as I write this, but it's supposed to warm up and turn to rain later today.
