Meteorologists at the Oregon Climate Service named the storm in January 2008, drawing from the Great Gale of 1880, a similar powerful storm that affected the region in 1880. The Great Gale of 1880 was an an extremely deep area of low pressure (possibly deeper than 955 millibars (mb or 28 [5][6]

The first of the three separate storms arrived on December 1, accompanying frigid temperatures across much of Washington which resulted in many areas across Washington receiving up to 14 inches of snowfall. On December 2, the second storm, which provided considerable amounts of rainfall, yet still packing cold temperatures, dumped even more snow across parts of the state, resulting in several districts in Mason County and Kitsap County to close due to heavy snow. Mason County is a County located in the US state of Washington. Kitsap County is a County located in the US state of Washington, named after Chief Kitsap of the Suquamish tribe At around 4:30 in the afternoon, the snow began to cease, and turned into a light rain across Washington.

Events 1409 - The University of Leipzig opens 1755 - The second Eddystone Lighthouse is destroyed by fire In as little as two hours, temperatures across the region jumped from near freezing to above 60 degrees in areas just as the first bands of the heavy rain were hitting. The storm moved northward through Oregon and Washington with strong rain (including 10. 78 inches (274 mm) in 24 hours in Bremerton, Washington. Bremerton is a city in Kitsap County, Washington, United States. [9]) accompanying the wind. The rapid rise in temperature caused the recent snow to melt quickly, indicating that record flooding was imminent across much of the region. Flood warnings across five rivers in Washington were issued late in the afternoon, well before any started to rise (by the 11 p. m. nightly newscasts in Seattle, the flood warnings were updated to include every mountain-fed river in the state).

By the morning of December 3, extreme wind speeds by the third and most powerful Pacific storm began hitting much of the WA and OR coasts with widespread peak gusts of 80–100+ mph (130–160+ km/h) at official NWS weather stations as well as unofficial stations and those run by Skywarn weather spotters.
