What began as snow this morning, changed to rain for this afternoon.  I’m happy that none of it froze, at least not yet.  I’m able to remove some of the ice from my deck and I’m happy about that.  The next fe […]

We are expecting a winter mix bringing snow this afternoon.  My area seems to be right on the line between rain and snow, and I’m hoping for all snow.  We still have about an inch of ice under our existing s […]

We have a welcome warmup coming this week.  We should see temps into the 40s by next weekend, and hopefully, get rid of this ice.  We have about 3 inches of snowpack, and that’s on top of about 1 inch of i […]

Yesterday was quite nice for a day in January.  Temperatures were warmer than what they had been, and winds were quite light.  Today is a different story.  We are back to temperatures in the teens and a si […]

We have snow in our forecast once again, and what we got three days ago is still there.  At least it is much warmer today, but not enough for anything to melt.  Our area is expecting at least two inches t […]

Our forecast is calling for a little sun today, but haven’t seen any yet.  Temperatures remain much below where they should be and I’m really tired of it.  We still have about 2 to 2.5 inches of snow cover a […]

Once again, our temperatures will do well to make it into the mid teens.  Add the wind chill, and it feels below zero.  This is another day that I’m thankful that I don’t have to go anywhere.  Temperatures sh […]

The next Pacific storm is forecast to start bringing precipitation to the Columbia Basin and Yakima Valley late in the day Tuesday. A few light snow showers are possible as early as 17:00 but the main show begins […]

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 […]
