Did winter ever leave? Stormy Sunday with wind, thunderstorms, and heavy mountain snow
SEATTLE -- Call it the "Silence of the (March) Lambs". The month is metaphorically supposed to start like a lion and end on the more gentle creature but a wayward storm as if it has popped out of a time warp from January is set to make a stormy March 28th around Western Washington.
In fact some areas in the North Sound are even seeing some wet snow as the Convergence Zone brings down the snow levels. Slushy light accumulations were seen above 500 feet in southern Snohomish County. Paine Field in Everett reported a temperature drop from 42 to 35 degrees in 9 minutes with a change from rain to snow.
In the South Sound, it wasn't snow but hail that give the ground a wintry coating of white:
Elsewhere, heavy rain, small hail and strong wind was the story. Port Townsend and Coupeville reached a peak gust of 59 mph while Shelton hit 54 mph, Everett and Hansville hit 53 mph, Ferndale hit 51 mph as did the Hood Canal Bridge, and a 50 mph gust was captured on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

It was fairly windy when I took a walk this afternoon.
