Heavy Snow — Bremerton and Vicinity, Washington

2021-12-26 to 2021-12-27 · Bremerton and Vicinity, Washington

Event narrative

A late December Winter Storm brought an average of 3 to 5 inches to the Bremerton area as a modified arctic front pushed across the area.

Wider weather episode

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.
