  • This morning seems peaceful with sun and light winds.  Unfortunately there is another winter event looming on our horizon.  Most of the snow that we received yesterday has already melted but we could see a […]

  • Wednesday was a day literally cut in half with a cloudy, warm (up into the high-mid 60s), light showery late AM (0.05″ – see parking lot image featured image for today) associated with a mid-day FROPA that turned […]

    • My featured image in today’s post is not showing for some reason. It shows in my working copy but not in the final published version. What went wrong? I normally do not have a problem with this. I can’t spend any time right now trying to figure it out, I have to get some sleep. Thanks to anyone who can give me some possible insights on what went wrong. Kevin

    • It’s showing for me. Is it showing for you now?

    It’s not often that we talk about deep low-pressure systems coming for the Pacific Northwest this late in the season, but here we are with an atmospheric river that is looking to do just that. We’ve had a small […]

  • They told us to expect it, but we didn’t want to believe it.  We’re lucky that it’s only an inch.  Some places up north received a foot.  Regardless, we should be seeing flowers sprouting, not snow.  Yes […]

  • Tuesday was cloudy once again and colder in the afternoon, with mostly overnight light rain once again (0.04″) prior to sunrise that just morphed into cloudy, damp skies most of the daylight/evening hours. Showers […]

  • So far there are no winter weather advisories for my area and I’m hoping that it stays that way.  Northern Michigan could receive as much as a foot of snow with lesser amounts just to our north and west.  L […]

  • Easter Monday (Easter Egg Roll Day on the White House Lawn day) was cloudy and colder, with overnight light rain (0.08″) prior to sunrise that just morphed into cloudy, dry skies most of the daylight/evening […]

  • TEMPERATURES

    For the second consecutive late-winter month, the second half was cooler than the first half, the opposite of what is Normal. Only 2 days this month managed to reach ≥65°, with 65.0° on the 11t […]

    Author’s Note: This is the last of a weekly series on geology for a class I am taking this semester at BYU-Idaho. This week’s prompt required students to show the effects of climate change in our local area. Othe […]

    • Great article Mark. I have always been fascinated by this mountain and this subject. I would prefer that the glaciers were advancing rather than retreating. From what I have been able to read online, and the articles are somewhat dated, is that Mt Shasta, much to the south of Mt Rainier but also a dormant volcano of just about the same elevation, and also glaciated, though not as much as Rainier. As of a few years ago, I have read that the glaciers had been growing on Mt Shasta. Do you know if they still are? I have read unconfirmed reports that the past few years they are retreating again, though in the 2016-2017 winter record amounts of snow fell that must have caused a gain. I also have read that some of the icefields up in Alaska, such as the Juneau and Bering had been growing in spots. If you can point me to some articles on these subjects or post your own opinions/facts on these issues, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Kevin

      • Everything I’ve seen about Mount Shasta indicates that it currently has a general trend of increasing glacier size because of increased precipitation values. I don’t have any links off hand that I can provide, but I have recently been reading a book named ‘Fire Mountains of the West’ that might be of interest to you.

  • Easter Sunday began with cloudy skies, but the sun came out later in the day.  Today should be quite nice with plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, there is another snowstorm looming in our future.  At this time, it […]

  • Easter Sunday started April out with no unexpected surprises for April’s Fool Day – mostly cloudy and a bit milder, but remaining dry all day for all the Easter festivities. The Sunday maximum temperature from the […]

  • Yes, there was a very thin layer of snow on my deck this morning when I got up, and our temperatures won’t be much warmer than they are right now.  This is much too cold for the first week of April and […]

  • Sorry that I missed posting my report for Friday so I will try to include important data and highlights from Friday in addition to my normal report for Saturday. Friday featured a partial day of more warmth before […]
