So far, the storm systems hitting Camano Island have come out of the South. This one will be different. From Cliff Mass:
Increasing Potential for Lowland Snow over Western Washington
We are now close enough to the upcoming snow/cold event that some of our most powerful prediction tools, such as high-resolution ensembles (many forecasts), are now becoming available. And, of course, forecasts become more skillful as we get closer in time.
The bottom line is that it is becoming increasingly likely that light snow will fall over the portions of the lowlands of western WA, including the central Puget Sound region.
And this little gem:
The ensembles are also confident that all hell will break loose in Bellingham, with strong northeasterly winds developing tomorrow and associated very cold temperatures.
My farm lies in a valley that runs North/South and whenever there is a Frasier River outflow, I get winds gusting to 60MPH. If I stick to my plan and go up there, it will be with the van which has lousy snow-handling ability. I must be down here Tuesday morning for the radio network so thinking about staying here through Wednesday. The winds have started and they are coming directly out of the North. Considering that the house here faces the North and is right on the water, I should stay here to watch what happens.
