Image: Monday / Tuesday system will demand attention as we move past the holiday.

Icestorm update: we made it! Temps have warmed well above freezing and we’ve been spared from the big mess and danger of what could have been a tough situation for us.

SeaTac was shutdown, passes were closed. Solid 1/2inch of icy glaze in Seattle, Trucks and cars sliding across freeways — but we were just north of the mess, hiding in the rain shadow and making it out unscathed!

Winter, however, is not done with us. Temps looking downright warm Christmas Eve and Christmas compared to what we just went through.

The Monday / Tuesday system is requiring attention the next few days. NorthPac is firing on all cylinders, spinning up major low pressure systems. Two atmospheric rivers on the model, one over the holiday with windstorm potential on the Mon/Tues AR.

Will refine the windstorm potential on the Monday Tuesday system over the holiday as we should get better data on that tomorrow.
