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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
