PHOTOS: “Snowpocalypse 2012″
December 22nd, 2012 by Matthew Leach**The Severe Weather Shelter is open today. Click here for more details**
I read a comment on one of the Kitsap Sun news stories about our recent snow that read something like, “Well, at least they didn’t call it Arctic Blast 2012″. That got me to thinking: What should we name this most recent snow event? Some Kitsap locations recorded over 3 feet without any arctic air, so surely “Arctic Blast” wouldn’t be the most appropriate name.
Then it hit me: SNOWPOCALYPSE 2012! So very fitting.
Here are some photos to remember this “snowpocalypse” by (December 15th-19th, 2012):

There you have it! Snowpocalypse 2012
Of course, several of us may not
necessarily be done with the snow pictures this year. Forecast
models are still very consistent in bringing in another round of
heavy, wet snow for at least the western 2/3rds of Kitsap County
and Mason County. I’ll give another Christmas snow update tomorrow
Until then, enjoy your Saturday!

Wow! I need to get out more. But here at McWiliams and Central Valley, the amount was scarce. When I went to Poulsbo, I was surprised how much snow they still had.. Perhaps those systems that take a NNW course through the gap hugs west and pours out on Poulsbo. And if the storm tracks SW through the gap, the road goes SK and CK.
