I had other plans for this coming week.

I was hoping to get some serious research done on the history of supernovas, and discuss the current situation with the red giant star Betelgeuse in Orion.  (For those […]

Yesterday started out with lake effect snow showers and those ended shortly after noon.  There was hardly any accumulation.  Today will be much warmer again but brisk winds will keep the comfort level down s […]

It seems like every day for the past week has been breezy. This is thanks to repeated weather systems that have crossed over the Pacific Northwest every 24-36 hours for the last several days. While these haven’t […]

By now you have probably seen the multitude of snowflake icons on your favorite weather app, or you may have heard area forecasters mention the snow word. If you haven’t, let me be the first to tell you, it c […]

This morning is very cold with intermittent lake effect show squalls.  We received a trace of snow overnight and it looks like snow will be here most of the day.  Temperatures will be much colder today and wind c […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 

I continued to have a busy conclusion to the holiday period and did not have the time to post here till now in the usual somewhat abridged format into one post. Mild weather dominated the […]

Yesterday was a very rare day for January here in Michigan.  For the entire day, there wasn’t one cloud in the skiy.  We didn’t see any until almost dark.  Unfortunately, the wind was unbearably strong with gu […]

To look outdoors, it is a very pretty day.  But when you step out and the wind hits you, it isn’t so nice.  Never the less, just seeing the sun improves one’s mood.  Yesterday brought a mix of rain and snow.  We […]

Beginning late last week, the GFS (American) model began showing a transition to much colder weather for early-mid January. However, the normally-superior ECMWF (European) model did not, and given how far in […]

We received a slight amount of snow late yesterday, after a day of mist which coated everything in a light cover of ice early in the day.  We could see a mix of snow and rain later but no great amounts are […]

We had a light covering of ice this morning on my deck when I let the dog out, but there was nothing in my rain gauge.  I could feel a light mist on my face but nothing showing on the radar.  It was just cold e […]

A cold front will move across the Pacific Northwest tonight, bringing a chance of rain showers. After it passes, we should see clearing skies here in the Tri-Cities and slightly cooler temperatures, but the […]

Happy New Year (and new decade) folks!  It’s been a hectic month for me, with holiday work in retail and whatnot.  Also there were some problems with the Weather Together site over Christmas time, so I was l […]

After a mostly sunny day yesterday, clouds have moved in and I don’t expect to see much of the sun today.  Regardless, temperatures remain above normal and the year is getting off to a mild start.  I know that t […]

Our Thursday has been better than expected.  We were supposed to have mostly clouds skies and highs only in mid 40s.  We have seen a lot of sun and temperatures seem to be rising faster than what was expected.  Th […]

The average high for the start of January is right around 40°, with the low being about 28°. We can expect high temperatures to slowly decrease toward Sunday, starting off in the mid-50s and ending in the u […]

I had a busy holiday period and did not have the time to post here till now in the usual somewhat abridged format into one post. Mild weather dominated the period with some rain towards the […]

So far this year, I’ve only got one day of skiing in, and I count myself lucky to even have that! I went with some weather colleagues up to Mt. Hood Meadows a few Saturdays back, and the amount of snow cover there […]

They say hindsight is always 2020. Well, since it is now 2020, let’s take advantage of it to take a look back at 2019! These weather events won’t necessarily be the most damaging, but they are the ones that caught […]
