It’s happened!
Rich’s 1994 Volvo just turned over 400,000 miles. 😱🚗
He says it still ‘runs like a charm’.
Can anyone beat this? Anyone close?

And guess who got engaged! 💍❤️
So happy for you @MimiJungKING5!

Good morning from Plowie McPlow Plow! Crews from Spokane and Davenport are on I-90 near @SnoqualmiePass helping in the effort to reopen the pass. Crews just sent me these photos. They are pushing a lot of snow up there😳

Does Christmas seem like it was just yesterday? If that's the case you might remember that December 24th & 25th was the last time Seattle had two dry days in a row. We have a chance for two dry days in a row again Sunday & Monday, after multiple rounds of rain of course. #wawx

Rivers are rising this morning in response to heavy rain last night. The Nooksack River in Whatcom County is of greatest concern for flooding, but other rivers south to King County could crest near flood stage. #wawx

It's starting to look a lot like...we've skipped a season. If Whistler Peak is any indication, it's almost time to sharpen your edges and wax your bases. | PC: Mitch Winton via Coast Mountain Photography | Taken Sept 16 | #ChooseToBe

What a fantastic concert, @SherylCrow! Loved “soaking up the sun” with awesome friend and co-worker @rtmarriott at Chateau Ste. Michelle!

Now you see them. Now you don't. More of those mysterious 50 mile high noctilucent clouds appeared in the early hours this morning at NWS Seattle. #noctilucentclouds #wawx

Seattle is forecast to reach 75 degrees tomorrow. The average first date for 75 is May 5th. If we reach 75 tomorrow, it would be 6 consecutive years that we've reached 75 degrees earlier than normal. That's never happened before. #wawx

After not setting a new record low in 7 years Seattle has now set record lows in back to back mornings. The low Thursday of 26° broke the old record of 30° set in 2005 and the low so far this morning of 25° breaks the record low of 27° set in 2011. #wawx

Today's low of 13 so far in Olympia, Washington breaks the record of 18 previously set in 1957. Olympia has the distinction of being colder than any location on Alaska's Arctic Coast and North Slope this morning. #wawx

EB is currently closed at MP 47 due to spin out vehicles and collisions. No ETA for a reopening yet. Stay tuned.

Today's spring-like temperatures in the mid and upper 50s in Seattle sharply contrast what happened on this date back in 1989. Seattle had a low of 7. We haven't seen a low temperature below 10 since then. #wawx

The Snoqualmie Pass area is w/out power today. However, our main lifts at Summit Central are running with the exception of Triple 60. PSE has dispatched additional crews, but is now estimating restoration around 4:30pm. Unfortunately due to the outage Alpental will not open today
