Our morning began with about an inch of new snow on the deck, but it was already melting so no shoveling was necessary.  It is now almost gone.  Temps were at or above freezing all night, so what snow did fall w […]

Our morning was sunny and bright, but now some clouds have moved in.  We have another weather system moving in tonight which could bring us another inch or so of new snow.  This happens almost every day and we n […]

I am not a professional meteorologist, and have never taken an atmospheric science course.  There are times when I wonder what it would be like to have taken that path […]

The sun is out today and that’s a good thing. Unfortunately, it isn’t warm enough to melt any of this snow. In fact, we received another inch overnight. We continue to have about 15 in of snow cover and it all […]

Our skies have cleared somewhat and we have a mix of sun and clouds right now.  Temperatures are definitely warmer than what we have had and the two inches of new snow from last night has now increased our snow […]

We got a break yesterday but it’s now snowing again.  The forecast is calling for only up to an inch and I hope it’s right.  We really don’t need anymore.  Our snow cover is still at 14 inches.  We did manage to […]

It was -11F when I got up this morning.  Since then, the temp has rebounded to 17F  The sun is shining brightly although it isn’t expected to last.  More clouds will move in by late this afternoon and we can ex […]

Our snowstorm produced what was promised with a little over 7 inches of new snow to add to the 7.5 inches  already on the ground.  On top of that, it’s really cold.  This cold is affecting most of the country, ev […]

The lowlands of the Inland Northwest should lose much of their snow this week as high temperatures slowly rise into the 40s. While some flooding may occur in small streams and low lying areas, larger rivers like […]

I’m hoping that this is the last very cold day that we’ll have.  Temperatures are suppose to start warming up over the next few days and return more to average.  We are currently under a winter storm advisory w […]

The sun was shining brightly when I got up and hoarfrost covered everything.  It’s such a glorious sight.  I hope the sun remains all day even if temperatures are very cold.  The upcoming forecasts are showing th […]

The storm is almost here, and its going to be a tricky one! Its going to be a battle between those dry east winds (Cascadias), and this large plume of moisture coming in off of the Pacific. Heres a look at the […]

We received our usual 1-2 inches of new snow overnight and this seems to be a daily thing anymore.  It wasn’t snowing when I got up but it is now.  Nothing extremely hard, but just enough to cover where we s […]

Once again we have sun, but it isn’t giving us much in the way of warmth.  I have to admit that when I went shopping earlier, that my car stayed warm while I was in the store.  Other than that, being outdoors i […]

Good morning everyone! Snow is spreading northward with snowflakes being reported at the south end of Puget Sound. Here’s the radar image as of 7:50am showing the northern edge of precipitation reaching […]

This weather is a bit redundant I’ll admit, but everyday is the same as the last.  I  really wish that we had some variety, especially in the temperature division.  This frigid weather is getting old.  We had mos […]

It now appears likely that Western Washington and NW Oregon will experience a series of significant winter storms from midday Thursday through Saturday evening, bringing snow, sleet, freezing rain, extremely […]

Some notable shifts in the forecast models this morning has increased my confidence that we will see some decent snowfall totals in Western Washington. Portland friends – you’ll probably be seeing a variety of pre […]

It didn’t get quite as cold last night and it should be a little warmer today.  The sun is out and it doesn’t seem quite a cold.  Winds are quite light and our snow cover remains at around 5.5 inches.  It seems to […]

Yesterday was beautiful with sun and very few clouds all day.  Unfortunately, it was very cold.  Last night we received about half an inch of new snow and our low fell below zero for the first time this w […]
