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 ” […]

There are no warmups expected in the near future for us.  In fact, some very frigid weather is forecasted for Christmas weekend.  They are even giving us a higher possibility of having a white Christmas and that w […]

While the deep south is being hammered by tornadic storms, and the Midwest is plagued with blizzards, we, here in Michigan, continue to have cold but quiet weather.  This low pressure trough, which is wreaking […]

We had mostly clouds this morning, but the sky is clearing nicely as the day goes on.  With very little wind, it’s quite pleasant outdoors.  The rain that was in the forecast, has now been removed and it appears t […]

I don’t have much to say about our weather except it is just more of the same.  The big winter storm, heading in this direction, is expected to remain to our west and south, and we may get some rain or a few […]

Yesterday was a typical early December day with overcast skies and cold temps.  We did receive a bit of snow early in the evening, which left a light covering of white, mainly on smooth surfaces.  Most of it was g […]

Following the Portland area’s all-time warmest October, November 2022 began very chilly, one of the coolest starts ever, and the cool days continued throughout the month. November didn’t have any […]

Today isn’t half bad with cloudy skies, light winds, and mild temperatures.  We did get a little rain yesterday, only 0.02″.  We had some light fog this morning and it is still a little hazy.  No rain is ex […]

We have another dreary day, but the sun did peek out briefly this afternoon.  We had a few sprinkles early this morning, but it left not much more than a trace of rain.  Temperatures are right around normal for t […]

We saw a few breaks in the clouds early, but now skies have become overcast.  We could see a few sprinkles of rain by day’s end.  At least the temperatures are fairly mild and light winds.  So overall, not too ba […]

Well…that happened quicker than I might have predicted. PDX saw its first snowfall of the winter today, a whopping 0.1″!  It’s actually the first time the snow station on Parkrose has ever measured any snow on […]

I looks like a beautiful day until the wind hits you.  The sky is cloudless, and that’s the only thing which makes it feel even slightly mild.  At least the furnace doesn’t run nearly as much when the sun is o […]

Yesterday finished with temps in the low 50s and very strong winds.  They really ramped up after midnight and we are under a wind advisory which should be expiring soon.  We are expected to see a little sun this a […]
