[ARCHIVED THREAD] - February 2017 Snowmageddon

Posted: 2/6/2017 2:26:22 AM EDT

Forecasters really fucked this one up.

Been snowing since 10 am and we're sitting at a foot of snow on the sidewalks here in Eatonville. Still snowing pretty hard. Guess driving to Tacoma in the morning is out of the question.

Been accumulating at about an 1" an hour since 7 pm.

15 inches up on the hill in Bonney Lake. No idea it was even going to snow today until I woke up this morning and it was coming down hard.

15-18 depending on where I measure. It's dumping right now. Very heavy snow after a hour break.

Still coming down in Eatonville. Hearing bad things about the surrounding roads, but none of my local channels are working on DISH. Snow killed the Super Bowl with 5 minutes to go last night. Never did get to see the end.

On South Hill and have about 8.5". Friend lived up in Buckley and has 16". Looking at the traffic cameras the south end looks pretty empty, closer to Seattle looks like a real mess.

I work graveyard and my week starts Sunday night. Ain't no plows or de-icers on the roads yet when we head in. I said screw it and called in last night.

Look at the official corporate information this morning and see this

"Winter weather affecting Boeing sites
Winter weather is affecting many Boeing sites. However, all sites and facilities are operating normally and you should report to work at your regular time. Boeing sites typically remain open during inclement weather, so employees need to be prepared for winter driving conditions at any time. "

City, County and State can't handle this amount of snow in a day and we're supposed to be prepared. yeah ok.

I could have made it in last night but didn't want to deal with the idiots. Look out and some idiot in a Wrangler goes flying down the road sideways, finally slides to a stop and gets stuck in the middle of the road. Heard there was a couple kids street racing down Meridian. That lasted until the crashed into each other LOL

Really?

15+ inches. Sure they have.

It was "there might be some snow" to there might be anywhere from 2-6" depending on where you live. 6" closer to the foothills. I live firmly in the foothills and have 18". I guess I should have interpreted 2-6" to mean over a foot aka ARF's preferred dick measuring technique.

I'm in Enumclaw and woke up to 12-13 inches this morning at 0330. I made an effort to get in but after two detours and an hour of driving, said fuck it and called in. Some from Enumclaw made it in to Renton, but not me.
It's been snowing off and on here since about noon yesterday or so. If the ground would have been frozen, we'd have a lot more than we do now.
We'll get to make up the lost production on a "scheduled Saturday".

I live near the Ferry in Downtown Edmonds, we had about 1/2 an inch.

SW WA dodged a bullet there. The Portland TV meteorologists weren't sure if we were getting snow or rain. We stayed just above freezing most of the time and received no accumulation.

Yes, really. They rarely predict the exact amount of snow or rainfall or sunny days that we are going to get.

Point is, they have been talking about a significant (for this area) amount of snow for a week. People shouldn't be surprised that a somewhat diverse area such as ours doesn't get a perfectly uniform amount of snow. Nothing new here. Be prepared and it's no big deal either way.

Totally snowed in here in Eatonville. Looks like I have a bunch of neighbors on here!!!!

Finally got power, it was off for a while. Lots of people I know are still without and that sucks because it is really cold...

Be careful out there you guys!!!
