Today has been bright and sunny, and the wind has been light.  Looking out the window, it looks like a wonderful, winter day.  but walking out the door changes your mind.  It looks like it should be thawing, bu […]

Our weather today is actually quite pleasant.  There isn’t any sun but temperatures are right around freezing, and winds are light.  We had fog this morning limiting visibility to about a mile.  I’m hearing ab […]

Atmospheric rivers, like the one over Western WA right now, are strong, narrow, and often slow-moving streams of mild, moist air stretching from the subtropics to the midlatitudes.

When this air slams into […]

Today will be a little warmer than yesterday but still not warm enough to melt any snow.  We have 2.8″ of snow cover which doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.  The winds have subsided also and that i […]

This is the coldest day that we’ve had yet this season.  Highs are expected to only reach the mid teens, and wind chills will be even lower.  Our snow cover is now 2.8″.  Our morning started out with partly cl […]

On Friday, Seattle was cut off from the north, the south, and the east due to flooding from the Chehalis River inundating I-5, extreme amounts of snow in the Washington passes, and all roads out of Vancouver BC […]

There was freezing drizzle late yesterday and overnight making my deck very slippery this morning.  But the sun came out and temperatures rose to 35°F which melted most of the ice.  Now we have the winds to de […]

The temperature was only 2°F when I got up this morning and we won’t see highs reaching much above 20F today.  January is certainly here.  At least the winds aren’t too bad.  We had snow showers all day Thu […]

We are under a wind advisory until 10 PM tonight.  As far a snow goes, my area is only expecting maybe an inch.  The west side of the state is under blizzard warnings.  So this won’t be a good day to be tr […]

Yesterday was sunny but very cold.  The low temp on my weather station read 0°F yesterday although temps from the airport showed 4°F as the low.  It is always a few degrees colder here in the country so that’s not […]

A new calendar year has begun, and a week-long cold spell in the Pacific Northwest is ending (at least for the West Side!).  A push of milder air and south wind has begun today, which should lead to classic […]

Yesterday was cloudy with light snow falling most of the day.  The heavier snow came later and overnight.  We got what was predicted (3-6 inches) and I’m happy with that.  At least there was no freezing rain an […]

December has been mild and temperatures have been above average most of the month.  We haven’t seen much in the way of snow, and what we did get, melted right away.  We had some snow showers late yesterday which d […]

After a mild day yesterday, today is much cooler.  Our deck was a glare of ice this morning and I found out the hard way.  But all is well and nothing hurt but my pride.  Highs today aren’t expected to rise mu […]

My picture is what I saw this morning at 4:30 as I looked out my window.  We did receive a little over 2 inches of heavy, wet snow which was hard shoveling.  I had to do it so my fur baby would go out and do her b […]

Our Christmas Day was actually very nice.  Temps were quite warm, light breezes, and no rain which was predicted.  We had great weather for cooking out and light jackets were adequate.  Today looks beautiful ou […]
