Late Never-Snow Update
Beckers reported never-snow for at least 5 minutes in Kent on 4/1/09. I say it was God saying, “April Fools, you live in Seattle.”
That same day, Learning To Sequence reported that it snowed “all morning” about 8 miles north of MPL HQ:
So despite not getting any never-snow at MPL HQ on April 1st, we were surrounded by it to the north and south, so we’re counting it. That’s number 16 on the season.
In that same post, Learning To Sequence also reported the coldest March on record, which would mean that in the roughly three years I’ve lived here, I’ve experienced the rainiest month ever (November 2006) and the coldest March ever.
KOMO News, though, reports it was actually it was the coldest march since ‘76. I was born in ‘74, so that’s kind of like “ever.” It also reports that with the April 1st never-snow that it was Seattle’s 6th-snowiest [sic] season on record at 23.3″ I know 23.3″ isn’t a lot of snow for a place like, say, Minneapolis, but it is a f**k of a lot of never-snow. You try living amid 23.3″ of never-snow that they don’t move off of the streets.

Speaking of late and somewhat ironic reports, I also awoke to find ACCUMULATED never-snow on the lawn on 4/3/09. That was the dawn of one of those days that turned into a glorious 65 degree day that reminded us that it in other places in the country, it’s spring. I don’t expect that it will be included in the official count, but I’m just sayin’…

[...] the search functionality on MPL is working right, the last never-snow was here, when Beckers and Isabelita reported never-snow. That was number 16. 16 conservatively called [...]
