It’s been a terrible 2nd half of winter for cold and snow lovers in the Pacific Northwest.  After a strong start to the season, things died down a month ago and there’s no sign of an active pattern picking back […]

TEMPERATURES
January 2022’s area Average Temperatures were barely below Normal, with Average Maximums slightly above Normal, Average Minimums a bit below Normal. The month began quite cold, continuing the […]

I got out this morning and measured our actual snow pack and it is now 7.3 inches.  That’s down 3.2 inches from right after the storm last Wednesday.  I don’t think that there was much melting but more settling t […]

It actually feels balmy out there today.  Even the wind doesn’t seem that cold.  I’m hoping that these Alberta clippers are finished for the year but I’m probably asking too much.  We have mostly clouds but I’m se […]

Clearing snow, even with a snowblower, is a lot of work when you have this much snow.  We have clear skies today, but with temps in the teens, it doesn’t do much to warm it up.  My husband finally got the snow r […]

Yesterday was quite calm and not a bit stormy as originally predicted.  There were a few flurries early in the day and the wind increased a little causing some drifting.  We received about 11 inches here, but t […]

The rain began late yesterday afternoon and continued into the overnight.  I’m not sure when it changed over to snow but there was 3.5 inches already on my deck when I got up shortly after 8AM.    A steady, mod […]

All counties west of us have been upgraded to a winter storm warning, so we know for certain that it’s coming.  The big question is how much snow we can expect.  We seem to be right on the line between the 6-8 i […]

Our temperatures are a bit warmer today, and with the sun, it seems even warmer.  We are looking forward to what maybe a major storm on Wednesday and Thursday, but no real estimates yet on how extensive it will […]

It sure has been a dull few weeks in the Pacific Northwest!  After an active start to winter, things really calmed down after the 1st week of January.  Believe it or not, PDX has seen 4.92″ of rain this month, w […]

Temperatures are a little warmer today but winds are still very chilly.  It just started snowing lightly a few minutes ago but radar isn’t showing anything significant heading our way.  It is almost the end of J […]

Highs today won’t even make it out of the teens, but just having clear skies and sunshine eases the pain a little.  After receiving another 2-3 inches of snow cover on Monday, my son got the deck all shoveled off […]

It has been snowing steadily since I got up this morning and I’m estimating that we have about two inches so far.  Our winter weather advisory goes until 7 PM and I think we will get another inch or so before it […]

We started getting intermittent snow showers around  9 AM and they have continued through the day.  What accumulation we had was blown away by the wind.  It was only about half an inch.  We are expecting a mor […]

Beginning around 1/14, a strong ridge of high pressure began to form over the Pacific Northwest, and although a few weak systems passing over it have brought a few sprinkles to Western Washington and Oregon at […]

This has been a very unusual January for our part of the country.  The picture is showing what has been going on as far as winter storms go, and they have been totally missing Michigan.  Today is yet another s […]

After seeing temps above freezing the past two days, we are back in the deep freeze today.  The temperature hasn’t risen above 19°F since this morning, and we’re expecting the low tonight to be in the single d […]

It was 37F this morning at 8:30.   Since then, our temperature has dropped 13F.  The high today happened over night and we are now in the grips of another clipper system.  We don’t expect highs to reach over the […]

There really isn’t anything special happening with out weather.  It’s cold, temps not getting above freezing, and we still have about 2 inches of snow cover.  There is no significant precipitation in our f […]
