A low pressure system slowly moving offshore is forecast to spin moisture into the Columbia Basin Sunday as it meanders closer to the Southern Oregon Coast. This has prompted the National Weather Service to issue […]

Although today isn’t as bad as tomorrow is expected to be, it still is not a comfortable day to be outdoors.  Another cold front is on the horizon and it will bring another day of very strong winds on Saturday.  I […]

Our morning began with mostly cloudy skies, but since then, it has cleared up nicely although it is quite cold.  The wind has diminished so it isn’t too bad outdoors at all.  There is another cold front coming o […]

We are under a high wind warning until 10 pm, with gusts as high as 45 mph possible.  This is from the cold front which arrived overnight and caused tornadoes and much wind damage in the south.  The winds will b […]

Snow is falling over Western Washington and parts of NW Oregon this morning. I’ve been riding the train down from Seattle to Portland and saw close to an inch in the higher elevations near Centralia. I’m now in […]

A strong storm system is setting up in the south with severe storms and tornadoes expected.  Fortunately for us, all we’re expecting is rain and strong winds.  Local forecasters are warning of possible 45 mph g […]

It is a rather yucky day and I expect that it will be raining most of it.  Temperatures are right around where they should be for this date, and winds are light.  Looks like we’ll be stuck indoors today so maybe I […]

The only thing that would make today better is if there were light winds.  Everything else is perfect.  Skies are clear and temps are in the mid 50s.  Our Thanksgiving weather was great but the remaining we […]

Our day began with clouds but fairly mild temperatures.  The radar overnight appeared to show rain passing over my area, but there was no sign of any this morning.  The air must have been too dry.  But now the sk […]

We couldn’t have a nicer day for our holiday meal.  My husband is cooking the turkey on the spit, something we’ve never tried before, so I hope it turns out well.  Unfortunately, there is a chance of rain later b […]

November 2022 started out with a bang. A very strong, westerly atmospheric river came through the area on Friday, November 4, resulting in extreme rainshadowing for the Seattle area but widespread flooding over […]

Our skies cleared yesterday and we lost most of our snow.  This morning was frosty but temperatures are expected to rise into the mid 40s this afternoon.  This will continue through Thanksgiving day, but then r […]

After a cloudy morning, the sun finally came out and skies are perfectly clear now.  Unfortunately, with it came very brisk winds.   Our total snow over the past 3 days was around 5 inches for my area, much be […]

This is our 4th day with snow and below average temperatures.  We have about 2 inches of snow cover with some ice.  We would have a lot more except there was quite a bit of thawing in spite of the cold t […]

It’s been a beautifully boring couple of weeks in the Pacific Northwest. Boring in the sense that there has been NO active weather since the first weekend of November. Beautiful in that we have seen tons of […]

We didn’t get the massive snow amounts that other areas did, but today will be miserable none the less.  We had lake effect snow showers for the past two days, but the ground is warm enough that much of it […]

We had intermittent snow showers all day Thursday, which increased in  intensity in the evening.  Most of the early snow melted on contact, but heavier showers later in the day started accumulating.  Radar is sh […]

At least we aren’t under a winter storm watch / warning like western and northern portions of our state.  We do, however, continue to have periodic snow showers.  Most of the snow has been melting since the g […]

We woke to a white world this morning with about an inch of snow on the ground.  Liquid measure was about 0.13″.  It’s a wet snow so it is sticking to all the tree branches.  Highs today will probably not make it […]

We were surprised this morning by a sudden snow squall.  It left about half an inch on the ground and was wet enough to stick to the trees.  It has stopped for now but I think that there is more on the way l […]
