Heavy Snow in Hood Canal Area, Washington

Heavy Snow December 26, 2021 – December 27, 2021 · Hood Canal Area, Washington

What the National Weather Service wrote

A Winter Storm brought an average of 6 to 12 inches of new snow to the Hood Canal area during the final week of December.

The wider storm

A very cold airmass pushed into Western Washington at the end of December, resulting in cold air amidst sufficient moisture and lift as a modified arctic frontal boundary slid south. This made for significant lowland and mountain snow, with a period of drier but much colder weather for the following days. Several climate sites reached record low temperatures during and shortly after the winter storm.
