Not much to say in terms of the weather except it’s just more of the same.  In fact, this should be the normal for most of this week.  I just heard an extended forecast for the rest of January, and according to t […]

New Years Day has come and gone, and our fairly mild weather remains, at least for a few more days.  Unfortunately, it will also be very wet.  Record high temperatures could happen tomorrow, although how high t […]

Our New Years Day is wet and mild, quite a difference from a week ago.  I’m hearing of another major storm approaching, but I think it won’t affect us too much.  The southern states seem to be where most of i […]

The high reached the mid 50s yesterday.  Today won’t be quite that balmy but still better than what we had a week ago.  It’s amazing how much the temperatures can fluctuate in one week.  We had light showers ye […]

The warm temperatures of the past two days have taken care of most of the snow.  The only snow remaining is where the snow banks and deep drifts were.  It was 53°F when I got up this morning and has pretty much re […]

Temperatures remained in the 40s most of the night, therefore melting most of our snow.  I measured this morning and it averaged out to about 2 inches.  Now it is far less with only about 30% of snow cover.  Th […]

Today we can look forward to a decreasing snow pack.  I know it will take a few days for it all to melt, but that’s okay.  We should see these wonderful warmer temps right through the weekend.  We have a thin la […]

Highs are expected to reach the upper 20s today, and we could even see a little sun.  If that happens, my deck may even thaw a bit.  I’m loving the predictions for this upcoming weekend with highs in the low 5 […]

I’m thinking that it will be a long time before anyone wishes for a white Christmas again.  Mother Nature certainly granted our wish but went a bit overboard, especially for those living on the west side of the […]

Merry Christmas!  It has done nothing but snow for the past 3 days, and today is no exception.  It isn’t heavy but just enough to keep adding the inches.  We now have about 6 inches with 12 inch drifts sc […]

Although we only have about 5 inches of snow cover, we have one foot drifts.  My son went out for a test drive to see how the roads were, and he said that they’re all ice covered with snow blowing over them.  We a […]

Freezing rain is finally over for most of Western Washington. I went out for a walk around Sandpoint Way earlier this evening, and though temperatures were above freezing and the roads were bare and wet, the […]

Although our snow amounts aren’t impressive, strong winds are causing havoc on the roads.  A good portion of I-75 is closed between Flint and Saginaw, and sporadic power outages are being reported.  We haven’t l […]

Everyone is busy getting ready for the storm.  Stores are crowded with last minute shoppers and I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere today.  Rain and snow is supposed to begin sometime this afternoon, but the w […]

Our Wednesday began with clear skies and very cold temperatures.  It was 13°F when I got up at 8:30.  Since then it has warmed a little but not much.  This will be warm compared to what is coming next week.  Some […]

Quick forecast update. The storm tracked slightly further north than modeled, meaning that mild southerlies (and rain) extended to the King/Snohomish County line instead of staying south of Seattle. The Everett […]

Our morning is beginning with filtered sun and mostly cloudy skies.  It’s actually quite nice outdoors, and tomorrow isn’t expected to be too bad either.  Weather gurus aren’t quite sure exactly when the “flash f […]

We are still keeping our eye on a major winter storm which seems to be heading right at us.  There is still some uncertainty as to exactly how it will affect us, but there is no doubt that we will get some snow […]

I’ve always said that there are far more snow days forecast for the Pacific Northwest than appear in reality. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that there are multiple weather models, running m […]

It’s been a chilly December thus far!  Through the first 15 days of the month, PDX is running 2.6° F below normal. That’s not wildly cold by any means; we’ve had no “exciting” weather save for a very marginal ” […]
