There seems to be some difference of opinions on how much snow we’re supposed to get, but the majority of weather gurus in our area seem to be set on 3-6 inches.  A few others are saying that it could be as much […]

We are expecting what could be a major winter storm on Saturday night and into Sunday.  Forecasters haven’t given us a definite snow amount yet but it could be significant.  The guestiment at this time is 6+ i […]

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 […]

Merry Christmas!  As I write this around 10am, it’s 37 degrees outside in my Orchards neighborhood with light rain.  I don’t see any signs of slush mixing in…but I imagine a few hundred feet up in the hills a f […]

We aren’t going to have any snow for Christmas but I don’t really mind.  I haven’t really been in the Christmas spirit this year.  Maybe my surgery had something to do with it.  My knee is doing fine but still gi […]

Running out the door to head to my energy trading shift, but thought I’d post a quick update regarding the historic arctic blast and our accompanying lowland snow chances before then. Hope to have more tomorrow […]

Where we have snow, there is about half an inch.  But an earlier snow shower gave partial covering to the bare areas and not sure if we’ll get anymore.  There is a line of snow just to our north which seems to b […]

It is very chilly out there this morning . Our 10:15 AM temp is only 22°F (-6°C) and winds are out of the west northwest at 8 to 13 miles per hour. Highs today are only expected to reach the upper 20s. Our snow c […]

It’s been the buzz of Pacific Northwest weather geeks for several days now.  And at this point, models are zeroing in on the basic pattern.  So it’s time to say:

Our region is looking at a significant winter c […]

The Pacific Northwest has seen tons of mountain snow over the past 10 days. Since December 9, Snoqualmie Pass has seen approximately 8 feet of snow, and all of the major Cascade ski resorts, from Mt. Baker in the […]

We had intermittent snow showers most of our Saturday, and we received about another inch of new snow.  We now have 2 inches of snow cover.  It’s amazing how much it brightens up the inside of the house.  On dr […]

I got up to 1.5 inches of snow on the ground and it’s been snowing steadily since then.  I’m guessing that we now have 2+ inches.  The birds are having an eating frenzy this morning and I’m glad that I filled a […]

After all the wind yesterday, today is welcome even though our temperatures have dropped significantly.  In fact, they dropped from 62°F to 37°F in about 6 hours.  At least with temps back in the normal range, tha […]

TEMPERATURES
November 2021 Temperatures were above Normal in the area, with the following ranges of departures from Normal between the three official Portland weather stations (Portland International Airport […]

Yesterday was quite nice, but clouds moved in late in the day and showers developed overnight.  There was 0.19″ in my gauge this morning.  We are expecting another wind blown day tomorrow, but it isn’t supposed t […]

Ahhh!  Nothing says winter in the Pacific Northwest quite like cold valley rain, heavy Cascade snow…and occasional teases of snow at lower elevations.  Last night (Monday) was the first time this season we saw s […]

Our morning began with plenty of sun and mild temperatures.  Since then, a thin layer of clouds have moved in but we still have filtered sunlight.  This weather is nice for those having to travel or go out C […]
