After a cloudy, dull couple of days, we are finally seeing the sun this afternoon.  I was having my doubts this morning, but the clouds are finally moving out.  Unfortunately, it won’t make much difference i […]

December 2023 is now a wrap!  I’m not going to do a year-end review of 2023 tonight, but maybe later this week….

Highlights:

1.  December was extremely warm and quite wet! In fact the warmest at PDX in o […]

New Years Eve was uneventful for us, and the ball dropped without much fanfare here at our house.  It doesn’t cause much excitement for us anymore and just marks the end of the Christmas activity for the most […]

2023 is ending on a gloomy, wet note, and the sun only showed itself for about 5 minutes yesterday.  So much for our partly sunny Saturday.  Today will be wet with snow in the forecast.  We did have a very li […]

Yesterday was wet and cold.  Today is even colder but at least it’s dry.  There was a trace of snow on the ground this morning, but it is gone now.  There is no precip in our forecast and it was supposed to be […]

Nothing more can be said about today except that it’s nasty outdoors.  We received quite a bit of rain overnight with  0.41″ in my rain gauge this morning.  Since then we have had drizzle and mist with a bi […]

Although our highs today won’t be as warm as the past several days, they will still be above the average.  We received 0.14″ of rain late yesterday and overnight and we now have just cloudy skies.  We could see a […]

We have yet another dark, gloomy day with rain.  Temperatures are way above where they should be for this date, and that’s the only good thing.  This is expected to continue until Saturday, but then temps w […]

Although today has looked like rain all day, we haven’t gotten a drop as yet.  Rain is in the forecast  for tonight, although no great amounts are expected.  No sun is in the forecast until Saturday and ra […]

We had a little sun earlier today, but now clouds have taken over.  It looks like rain but none so far.  Temps are mild but the dampness gives the day a chilly feel.  It’s a quiet day for us.  The family is […]

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the Columbia Basin and Yakima Valley from 10:00 Monday to 10:00 Tuesday. The Cascade Mountains also have an alert posted, but Walla Walla was […]

It’s going to be a gloomy day, but at least it’s warm.  Temps could even possibly reach near the record high.  It’s going to be a very green Christmas and it will be good traveling for family gatherings.  I’ […]

We received 0.66″ of rain overnight and into early this morning.  Now the rain has stopped and the radar is clear.  Temperatures are very mild and winds are light.  So other than there being a thick cloud co […]

Although our temperatures will be warming up over the weekend, it would be great if a sunny day would be included, but that’s not the case.  Clouds and rain showers seem to be the norm over the next week or […]

Our morning is beginning with frost and light cloud cover.  We aren’t expecting any precipitation today or even tomorrow.  Our holiday weekend is expected to be wet but no snow.  Temperatures on Christmas sh […]

Our morning began with clouds which then moved off to the north.  Now our sky is almost clear and it looks like it’s going to be a very nice day.  It could be a little warmer but it is lovely for late D […]

Yesterday was a miserable day to be out and about.  We did have strong winds, up to 40 mph, and intermittent snow showers which made driving very hazardous.  Most of our snow is gone but some still remains i […]

Our morning started out with light snow showers which has produced about half an inch so far.  We aren’t expecting too much, just enough to brighten the landscape a bit.  I don’t think that it will last long s […]

Rain moved in sometime overnight and has continued intermittently since then.  Radar is showing most of it pushing off to the east, so I don’t think that today will be a total washout.  Temperatures continue a […]

Our Saturday is beginning with cloudy skies but mild temperatures.   Normal temps will be back with us early next week, but then another bout of above average temperatures for the Christmas weekend.  This ha […]
