Today is expected to be our warmest yet this year, with temperatures reaching near 60°.  This morning is bright and sunny making it easier to get up one hour early due to DST.  It will take me a good week to ad […]

TEMPERATURES
This February averaged almost exactly Normal for both the Maximum and Minimum Temperatures. The first half of the month had Maximums averaging 5.6° cooler than the second half but the Minimums were […]

We woke to half an inch of snow this morning.  It began as rain and there was a total of 0.15″ in my gauge at 8:30 AM.  Much of it has already melted and temperatures will remain in the mid 30s today.  This is ju […]

Our morning is beginning with sun and breezy.  We could see some rain or snow later on but not much as far as accumulations are expected.  This has been a dry period for us which is unusual for this time of y […]

Today will be a little cooler than the past several days, but highs will remain above average.  This entire winter season has been like this and snow amounts are definitely at a deficit, at least here in the […]

After a very warm Monday with plenty of sun, today won’t be quite as nice.  Temperatures will be slightly cooler and we probably won’t see as much sunshine.  Conditions will still be better than normal so we c […]

Early spring is upon us! I went hiking on Friday in Forest Park with fellow WeatherTogether blogger (and music buddy… he’s a great sax/french horn player!) Karl Bonner ahead of the cold front that swept through […]

Temperatures made it into the upper 40s yesterday and that got rid of most of our snow.  This weather is expected to continue all week and most of us are loving it.  There isn’t really any rain in the forecast a […]

Continuing with the roughly 10 day shorter summaries (leap year made thi period a 9 day one to close out the month) to cover a general period of more or less similar weather patterns, a mixture of mild and […]

Today is the first day of spring meteorlogically speaking, and it will certainly feel that way.  Highs will be in the upper 40s and we should see quite a bit of sun according to the forecast.  This upcoming week w […]

Today is February 29, Leap Day.  It’s also the last day of meteorological winter, which is defined as December 1 – February 28/29 in the Northern Hemisphere.  Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that winter i […]

It is really lovely to look out the window and see such a bright day.  We have total snow ground cover and it won’t be quite warm enough to melt much of it.  But temperatures are expected to rise into the 40s a […]

Our winter storm was a bit of a fizzle from what was originally predicted and that’s fine with me.  We have about 4 to 5 inches on the ground depending where it is measured.  Today is still bringing a little l […]

A ridge of high pressure in place over the region is providing pleasant weather conditions for the second half of this week. Wednesday will probably be the day with the most clouds. This is thanks to northwest […]

The snow began late last night and dropped 1.3 inches by 8 AM.  It is now increasing in intensity and another 3-4 inches is expected by midnight.  Winds are expected to pick up later and it will be a challenging d […]

Tuesday began clear for most of the Willamette Valley, but folks in downtown Portland and Vancouver had to wait until 10-11 am to break out of the clouds. The 10:00 am visible satellite image below shows how […]
