It was 1 degree when I got up this morning, and it hasn’t warmed up significantly since then.  The sun is trying to peek out but a thin cloud cover remains.  At least we don’t have the strong winds today so i […]

Temperatures in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington remained below freezing Sunday after a cold front and low pressure system brought snow and damaging winds to the region. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports […]

Today is the coldest that we’ve had this year, and there is no relief coming anytime soon.  We could see temps falling below zero for the first time in two years.  Our winter weather advisory has been c […]

This winter storm has been a bit of a bust for us.  We only got a couple inches of snow compared to other areas.  There is a crust of ice on top of the snow, so it was difficult to measure this morning.  Th […]

We are under a winter weather advisory rather than a warning, so it appears that we may not be affected as badly as originally thought.  That’s fine with me.  It sounds like the biggest issue will be the s […]

Arctic air diving south out of Canada on Friday and a low pressure system making landfall on the Oregon Coast Saturday will create a dynamic weather pattern through the weekend in the Pacific Northwest. As a […]

It’s been a very stressful week for weather forecasters in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of uncertainty about the upcoming cold spell, but it’s now coming into clear focus.

We woke this morning to about 1.5″ of new snow, so now there is almost 3″ on the ground.  It was heavy and wet, so it stuck to everything.  It is just warm enough that some has melted and my boys were out c […]

Yesterday was fairly mild with drizzle, then it changed to snow later, and became a moderate snow shower by midnight.  Everything was covered with heavy, wet snow this morning, which is sticking to all the […]

A compact low pressure system embedded within the regional flow pattern is forecast to track near the Portland metro to produce heavy precipitation Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. This has prompted […]

Today is finally acting like January.  We seem to be right on the line between rain and snow, and snow has been gently falling all morning.  There is just a light covering on the grass and that will probably b […]

We have some possible nasty weather heading our way although there are no watches or warnings for our area at this time.  It appears that most of it will come as rain with heavy snow to our north.  R […]

“…And,what happened if you watched the mountains in December, it was the lowest snow pack in decades. Ski resorts were unable to open for Christmas or even New Year. People were calling it…this winter was […]

A strong low pressure system and associated frontal boundaries are forecast to approach the Pacific Northwest from the northwest producing heavy precipitation and windy conditions throughout the region. Travel is […]

Snow began falling late yesterday afternoon and continued overnight.  There is about half an inch on the ground which melted down to 0.02″ in my rain gauge.  I don’t expect it to last long since highs today s […]

According to YouTube weather guru, Ryan Hall, we have a number of potential snowstorms heading our way by the end of January.  So far, our winter has been snowless.  If fact, the most snow that we’ve had so f […]

We have yet another very cold day ahead with highs expected to not rise much above freezing.  No real precipitation is expected until next week, and I’m hoping that it comes as rain, not snow.  So far, the w […]

Today is one of the coldest that we have had yet this winter.  Skies continue to be cloudy and occasional snow flurried appear from time to time.  The wind isn’t too bad and that makes it tolerable.  This we […]

I guess I shouldn’t complain.  We could be buried under a foot of snow.  There is a winter storm brewing next week, from what I understand.  My son has an appointment in Detroit on Wednesday, and I pray th […]
