First off, let me just say that the time I’ve spent on this post is absolutely infuriating. I wrote a decently-sized post, then wrote a much larger post, then found out that the […]

P.M. and the pictures haven’t even started uploading, so time to switch to Chrome from Firefox. I’m an open source guy, but man, Google […]

Hey folks. I’m pretty tired right now, so I’m going to do the day 3 post on day 4, which will be more mellow. Today was a research and adventure day out in the […]

It’s no surprise that the first half of May has been extraordinarily warm. I came across a funny picture and caption circulating around the internet; it is in the same […]

Good morning everybody! The weather outside today is wonderful… much better than that dreadful weather we had Monday. “Dreadful?,” you might ask?
Dreadful. At least for me. […]

First off, let my apologize for my lack of punctuality when it comes to posting these blogs as of late. I’ve been very busy recording an album for a funk band I am in, and I […]

April is known for “showers and sunbreaks,” which might as well become a trademarked phrase around here since it is probably the most commonly mentioned phrase in Seattle, […]

Thunderstorms in Seattle are very rare. Seattle doesn’t tend to get much in the way of ‘severe’ weather, where ‘severe’ is defined to be tornadoes/hail/rain/wind etc. from strong […]

Saturday…
Most snow looks to fall west of here
Guess I’d better grab a beer, and hope

19 years old, and Spongebob is still my favorite cartoon.
It seems like everywhere I go, people are talking about Hurricane Sandy. Most of what I’m seeing are Facebook posts […]

On September 16, 2012, the arctic reached a record low for sea ice cover. Now, it is finally expanding as autumn arrives, but it is still well below average.

… since my last blog post.
Summer kind of does that to you. The more free time you have, the less you feel like doing. I’ve actually been quite busy with music and jobs, […]

Us meteorologists like to joke that summer starts on July 5th. Well this year, that actually looks like it will be the case. Independence Day won’t be bad at all. We’ll start […]

My, my my! It certainly has been a long time. Well, I could enamor you with excuses, but I’m not here to justify my actions (or lack thereof).

I’m here to predict the weather.

To say that June has been […]

Hello everybody! It snowed last night and most places in Washington are still seeing snow right now! The models this morning actually came more in line with what I was […]

So, the latest model runs have come in, and they are moving the storm even further south. For snow lovers who live in Seattle, this is bad news. However, I’ve been watching […]

Since it is the winter solstice, I thought I’d write today’s blog post on Stonehenge. As it turns out, Stonehenge was not just built by some strong dumb guys […]

This has to be a lightning quick post, but that is ok because there is not much going on weather-wise right now. Take a look at the webcam above looking downtown. Look at […]
