  • Your welcome Nathan. Another month gone, where does the time go? Keeping very busy really keeps time moving faster than it should, as dwindling time resources makes for less production. I am retired, I don’t know how I got it all done when I was working! Thanks again Nathan!

  • Tuesday was our first sunny day since last Wednesday, but the day started out before sunrise with widely varying temperatures being reported in my immediate area, dependent on elevation, exposure and topographic […]

  • Monday was another cloudy day, but the sky became brighter in the afternoon and the sun briefly appeared just before sunset for the first appearance by the sun since last Wednesday. Temperatures remained cool, and […]

  • I composed my entire Tuesday report earlier this morning, but server problems with my email did not allow me to send it, and my email did not save, so it is gone. I have reconstructed a slightly briefer report […]

  • Kevin Shaw commented on the post, Snowing in Portland!, on the site 8 years, 3 months ago

    Fairly rare for both Portland and central Maryland to have a similar snow event at just about the same time! Warm mid-40s on Sunday wiped out the snowpack, esp with the stronger sun and increased sun angle. Thanks for posting such a detailed analysis for your snow there in Portland. Have a blast skiing up there on Mt Hood Meadows! Enjoy! Kevin

  • I had a bad experience late Valentine’s Day Wednesday that I don’t really want to get into, but it precluded me posting my weather for Wednesday. I will summarize the day’s stats below and here in a several […]
