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 […]

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 […]
