I wonder if Seattle ever experienced lake effect snow in its history, especially durring the 50s when it set the record cold of 0F, or is the puget sound/lake Washington just not big enough?

If you give me a couple of dates I can look some stuff up and get an idea. I was going to say "yes" there could of been for sure but there's too many other factors to figure out including water temp at the time. That I wouldn't know.

Scott S predicting extra 5-10" of Lake Effect snow this year. Waters are above normal right now.. Possible arctic blast coming this weekend so could see some Lake Effect snows off Lake Erie.

I used to live in that tiny isolated bit of 80in where those three counties meet in Ohio. (cool, wet microclimate caused by elevation). It was nice. My one complaint was that winter had too many thaws and was too short.


Also note that Chardon up there near the 120 is the snowiest population centre in Ohio, or at least the snowiest one with a weather station.
