Snow Meh

Its snowing in places. Very lightly. Not Seattle. Not a big deal.

Foggy but dry

Its going to be dry with morning fog for a few days. Watch the roads for ice if it gets cold.

Heavy Snow Is Heavy

Heavy snow causes trees to fall. Local UW Professor rediscovers gravity.

Dry Spell Coming

Its going to be more dry than wet soon. For a bit. Enjoy.

Christmas 2012 Storm

Windy over Eastern Lowlands (Black Diamond, etc). Snow SE of Olympia, light snow possible around Seattle in the morning.

A Tale of Two Snows

We have lots of snow in the mountains. We'll get more shortly.

Water Level Recently

Extreme high tide + low pressure system = high water levels. Global warming not really involved at this point.

Light Snow Possible in Lowlands

Don't expect much, but light snow in lowlands is possible.

Wind dying down now

Storm hit as predicted. Wind to lessen throughout Monday.

Very Windy Storm Coming

Sunday night through Monday afternoon, 40-60 mph winds possible in the SW of Washington. High winds will come to Seattle throughout the day. Be careful!

Windy on Monday

It will be windy in Bellingham Sunday night & in the Puget Sound on Monday. 30-40 sustained.

Cliff Mass Lost His Calendar

Cliff Mass has been reading history books again. Turns out it was wet in 1805. Still is. Go figure.

Darkness

It is dark. It will start getting lighter soon. Slowly.

NWS Revamping

The NWS is broken & needs to be fixed. Lots of problems, big issue, long hard path to success.

Drying Out

Its going to be cold & *somewhat* drier for a few days.

Rain Reality

It rains roughly 15-20% of the time during the winter in Seattle if you count at the hourly level.

Smartphone Observations

Smartphones enable more observations. More observations enable better forecasts. Hurray!

Heavy rain in CA and snow in mountains

Its going to rain a lot in California & most of the Cascades will get a foot or more of snow.

Windy, Rainy, but no Snow

Its going to get windy on Wednesday & a little wet, but more south of us. Too warm for snow unless you get to BakerCrystalWhistler level height.

Rainbows

Rainbows often have secondary rainbows. Sometimes they have reflective rainbows as well! Reader found one:

Technology May Reduce Accidents

Technology can warn when rain, smoke, dust, or other conditions may impact busy freeways, helping to prevent accidents.

Convective Cloud

A convective cloud line came through Seattle at 1:30PM on Tuesday, bringing a dark rain patch that faded quickly to sun.

High Winds on Coast

High winds on the coasts of WA & OR were seen during the Monday storm. Forecast for Thanksgiving looks decent & Friday outlook is improving, but still wet.

Heavy Rains

Very heavy rains Monday morning. We've already had close to 2" over the city in the last 48 hours, many rivers are at flood stage already, & the rain is not going away. Be careful.

Rain shadows we have

Depending on where the rainfall comes from, at least one local area is usually in a fairly deep rain shadow.

Rain Sunday Monday Friday

Heavy rains on Sunday & Monday. Rainy all week. Bigger storm possible Thursday or Friday. Flood conditions possible, be prepared & stay alert.

Lots of Rain Coming

Up to 10" in places, mostly OR & N. CA, but we'll get nice & wet as well.

Improvements Past and Present

Hurricane Sandy proves we have improved a lot in forecasting ability. We can still do much better.

Saturday Cold Sunday Rain

It got really cold Saturday. Sunday warmed up so we get rain not snow. Cliff Mass studied under Carl Sagan, helping CM learn how important public communication of science is.

Winter 2012 La Nada

Winter 2012 looks to be La Nada (neither El Nino or La Nina). La Nada tends to yield bigger storms. Seattle has made great strides, including road temperature sensors. We still can't predict snow well.

Stampede Pass Weather Station

NWS is considering closing the Stampede Pass weather station. It has great observational value & a long record in that location. Contact Dr. Brad Colman (brad.colman@noaa.gov) to urge NWS to keep it.

Another Storm for the NE

Wednesday & Thursday, another storm will bring strong winds, heavy rain, & inland snow to the Northeast. It is not currently expected to be a hurricane, but sustained winds of 40-50 knots are expected.

Election Day Weather

Weather on Tuesday will be good. Obama will win, as good weather helps Democrats more than Republicans.

It Rained Tuesday

It rained Tuesday. In some places, quite a bit.

Drought No More My Son

We have almost completely made up the rainfall deficit of this summer in the last 2 weeks. Be careful, river flooding is possible.

Hurricane Sandy III

Hurricanes are powered by a warm core of air. Midlatitude storms are powered by a cold core of air. Monday night, Hurricane Sandy will transition to a cold core.

Hurricane Sandy II

Hurricane Sandy is shaping up to be quite a storm. Many models are converging to show Sandy making landfall in New England on Tuesday. Very dangerous - pay attention to the forecasts if you're going anywhere near the East Coast next week.

Hurricane Sandy

Some models suggest Hurricane Sandy will make landfall in New England. Some don't. Be prepared.

El Nino No More

Forecast is for neutral ENSO year. Higher odds for severe windstorms, snowstorms, floods - be prepared.

Water Funnels

Very nice photos of water funnel near Everett, thanks to Chris Evans. The funnels were apparent on radar between 4 & 4:15PM.

Snow in Mountains

Snow in the mountains & passes for a few days, along with cold temps & some wind. Next week - same.

Weather Balloons

Weather balloons reach around 100K feet (20 miles) in height before they burst.

Columbus Day Storm Book

Cliff really wants there to be a book (and movie!) about the Columbus Day Storm. Really, really excited.

Its Raining

Its finally raining and the radar is impressive. This week is expected to be more normal weather for this time of year - rainy and windy. Probably not as much rain as this weekend.

50th Anniversary of Columbus Day Storm

In 1962 there was a massive storm. Likely the biggest cyclone to hit the lower-48 this century. It was really, really windy, damaging, & 46 people died.

Summer SAD

Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder (SSAD) is a real thing. Also a thing we won't have to worry about after this weekend.

Rain cometh

Its likely to rain on Friday and Saturday. Not a ton, but some.

Debate Weather

Atmospheric pressure probably didn't affect Obama. Big temperature drop occurred during debate. Related? [TLDR Editor - I almost didn't bother with this one...]

First Cold Front

Cold front came through. It got cold. August-September was the driest on record at Seatac.

Visibility

Winds from the N & NW are blowing the smoke from the fires to the east away from us, increasing visibility. Really impressive change in the photos of Rainier from a local webcam (images are 4 days apart).

Weak El Nino Sort Of

It looks to be a weak El Nino year. Probably slightly warmer, drier, and milder. Very close to normal though.

Dry and slightly colder

It has been dry. It will stay dry (for a few weeks, barring minor sprinkles). Its getting colder with longer nights. Yawn.

Fire not Drought

Air quality is bad near Wenatchee. Also, we're not in a drought as the cumulative precipitation for the year is actually slightly above normal.

Still dry

If we're more lenient in what counts as "rain" (0.01" to 0.02") we are now breaking a record. Its still dry. No, really.

Smoke but not Russian

Smoke from fires east of Seattle is affecting Seattle. Russian fires aren't affecting us anymore.

Smoke cools and warms

During the day, smoke blocks solar radiation from reaching the surface, cooling things below it. At night, it acts as an insulating layer, warming things below it.

Wind moves smoke

This just in, wind can move smoke. Winds from Eastern Washington move smoke from fires there to Western Washington.

Super Mirages

Super mirage - objects near surface are raised or stretched. Caused by temperature inversion (warm over cold). We have cold water & warm air (sometimes). Thus, we have super mirages.

It Rained

It rained. 0.01" at Seatac. No record broken. Drive carefully where it rained more.

Rain cometh

Sunday night will break the dry streak, short of 51 days. Careful driving Sunday PM / Monday AM - oil from roads mixed with rain = dangerous.

Dry Weather Makes Us Weird

We do weird things when its really dry.

Dry Spells

Longest ever dry-spell for Seatac is 51 days. We're at 45. Expected to at least make 48, making 2nd place. 52 is entirely possible. Cliff is excited.

Olga 2E

Olga 2E is a weather data point active for 122 years. It shows slight warming in the minimum temperatures, probably PDO related.

Dry August

Probably the driest August ever. Ever. Less than 0.01" of precipitation. Probably dry for 4-7 days & warming.

Tropical Storm Benefits

Tropical storms bring water & support land creation.

Flooding from Isaac

Isaac's major problem is likely to be flooding & precipitation, not storm surge or winds.

First Frost And Isaac

Some areas saw first frost last night, mostly higher elevations east of the Cascades. Isaac will mostly miss Tampa & land along Gulf shoreline.

Urbanization of Temperature Sites

Urbanization leads to inconsistent temperature readings (Seatac is showing warmer than it probably is).

Warmer Water Offshore

Wind keeps warm southern water south, Coriolis force pushes water out to sea & cold water comes up to replace it. Also, survey!

Dry but not drought

It has been dry but we are not in a drought. It should be colder and drier than normal for the next 7-10 days.

Dodged a Bullet of Lightning

Lightning passed offshore. Winds returning to east, hampering fire fighting efforts.

More Wildfires Possible

After heat wave come possible thunderstorms with lightning but little surface rain, followed by high winds. Be prepared!

Fires to the West

Forest fires can happen & have happened west of the Cascades. Be careful!

Winds down heat up

Winds plaguing fire fighters east of the Cascades should die down as the heat wave arrives overnight.

Lost Cats in Heat

Warm weather correlates with more cats at shelters.

Announcement: Columbus Day Storm 50th Anniversary Gala at the UW: Oct. 11, 7:30 PM

More Smoke from Asia + Perseids

Asian fires causing more smoke overhead. Also, Perseid meteors this weekend!

Recent News Makes Cliff Mad

James Hansen published a study that Cliff Mass feels misrepresents the data & the story. Cliff sees global warming happening but sees most of the cause of extreme events as natural variation. Rabble rabble rabble.

Awesome Clouds

There was a neat mammatus cloud system visible from across much of the state. The underside of the cloud showed the upside-down convection effect (mammatus).

Line of Clouds

The thermal trough moving on, heat wave ending. East-West trough moving north causing line of clouds & mid-level convection. Rainfall not reaching ground due to earlier heat. No heat wave next weekend.

Algebra is Important

Algebra is important. Kids failing it does not mean they don't need it, but that we should teach it better.

Its going to get hot

High pressure from the south, then offshore flow, lots of warmth that builds over the next few days. Mid 80s, maybe 90s.

Boring Weather

Summer weather on the west coast is boring due to static ocean temperatures & jetstream aiming elsewhere.

Careful what you claim

Recent extreme weather is just that - extreme weather. Natural variation in weather is far more likely to be the cause than global warming. Future issues (think century scale) will be linked to global warming, which is a serious issue to be addressed.

Its foggy

Its foggy. Really, that's all, just foggy.

Asian Pollution

We're still experiencing haze & particulate matter from Asian fires & pollution.

Quit whining

This summer has been warmer than last summer. Quit whining.

Lots of Rain

Seattle got more rain Thursday/Friday than a normal July from a deep trough pulling tropical moisture up to us. Closed low settling in for cooler but still wet weather Sunday/Monday.

Thunderstorms and Flash Floods

Lots of thunderstorms & a few flash floods lately. Flash flood watch for much of Eastern Washington. Be careful!

Lightning is dangerous

Stay safe around lightning! Stay inside away from plumbing & electronics. Stay in car. If outside, find low spot, crouch (don't lay down!), cover ears. Be careful!

Texas Global Warming Article Problems

Recent study of 2011 Texas heat wave/drought is flawed but produces hyperbolic media statements on global warming, reducing scientific credibility.

Its called Thunder apparently

Low pressure system over Olympia blocked onshore flow (which kills thunderstorms here). Thus, thunderstorms!
Image shows recent tweets referencing thunder in our area (by UW Atmospheric Sciences Grad Student Luke Madaus)

Fireworks cause smoke and pollution

Fireworks cause smoke and pollution. Some smoke was from Asia.

Forecasting thunderstorms is hard

Forecasting thunderstorms is hard due to the 3D nature of their formation & our models' low resolution.

Fire Begets Smoke II

Wind patterns suggest the smoke is from fires in Asia, actually.

Fire Begets Smoke

We're seeing some smoke coming from the wildfires to the south & east of us.

Wet Past Dry Future

Tuesday was weird. Otherwise NW has been more wet than normal, soil has been more wet, & that keeps us cooler and more humid longer.

Warm Weather Cometh

Warm weather is coming later this week. 4th should be dry at fireworks time.

Pretty cloud pictures

Pretty cloud pictures

Wet and cold

It's been colder than normal here due to a trough over the eastern Pacific and a ridge over the rockies (atmospheric in both cases). 4th should be overcast / showers & mild temperatures.

Melting Snow

Mountain snowpacks are melting later lately. Global warming is occurring but our region isn't as strongly affected, yet.

Change in winter temperature from 1980 to now.

Convective Summer Squall

There was a convective summer squall related to thunderstorms on Saturday.

Rain rain rain

It rained a lot. Some records were broken. It rained more towards Portland. Less rain tomorrow.

Lots of Rain

Very strong low pressure for this time of year causes lots of rain in unpredictable distribution.

We Do Need Some Education

Discovery math is bad. Singapore or Saxon math is good. We can make the switch if we push hard.

Cold Water Along Coasts

Winds from the north & the coriolis effect push surface water away from the coast, bringing cold water up from below.

Tomato Plants were Happy

Atmospheric river made today humid. Ends tomorrow morning.

Private Weather Forecasts

Privatization of weather forecasting could be useful.

June Gloom

The cloud cover in June affects most of the Pacific & West Coast. Get 3-5K' above ground or east of Cascades to avoid.

NWS Troubles

The NWS used funds to cover things without getting permission. Some people retired. No real scandal beyond the underfunding of the NWS.

Seasonal rainfall patterns

It rains in different seasonal patterns in different regions of the US due to the jet stream. Specifically:
West Coast - 80+% of rain from October to March
Eastern Montana and North Midwest - 50+% of rain from April to June
Inland Southwest - 50+% of rain from July to August
East Coast - Almost uniform rain amounts year round

Cold Climate Lately

Pacific NW has been colder than normal in May & Year-to-Date.

May 2012

Year-to-Date 2012

Clouds Inland

Rising air tends to cause clouds. Cold air off water hits sun-warmed air over land & rises. Strong offshore winds hit slow air over land & rises. Air hits hills & mountains & rises. Thus clouds inland.

Venus Transit Final

Head to the coast to see Venus's transit. Downstream of Vancouver Island mountains or Olympia & beyond.

Venus Transit

Tuesday 3:09PM to sunset. Head to SW WA coast or OR coast to have any chance of seeing it. Or watch online.

Coal Trains

Coal trains produce coal dust in transit, worsen anthropogenic global warming, & send pollution from Asia to the NW. Just say no!

Seattle is cooler than Portland in the summer

Maritime cooling keeps Seattle cooler than Portland in the summer.

Forecasting Skill

Forecasting skill - 2-3 days - excellent | 3-4 d - moderate but useful | 5-6 d - marginal | 7-10 d - occasional

Portland Thunderstorm

Portland got drenched by a quick thunderstorm. 1.34 inches of rain in 1 hour.

May Thunderstorm

Quick, windy thunderstorm out of Snoqualmie Pass Friday afternoon. Lots of downed trees & beautiful time lapse video.

Ellensburg Winds

Ellensburg has strong winds due to Snoqualmie Pass & high pressure ridges in the west. Fri/Sat sunny 60s. Sun/Mon overcast sprinkles 60.

Wet wet wet

It was wet here this winter. Not so in California. Its wet here now.

Eclipse visible in satellite images

Visible satellite images show the eclipse (dark patch moving across image over time).

Clouds block annular eclipse

High chance of clouds blocking views of annualar eclipse in the NW. Views would have been partial as we're too far north.

Ghost Rain

Temperature inversions cause radar to show ocean (not sky) sometimes. Spooky.

Climate Forecast Spending Trumps Weather Forecast Spending

We spend more on modeling computers for climate change than for weather.

Large Temperature Swings

Clear skies, no-to-light winds, and compressional heating lead to large mood temperature swings in the NW this weekend.

Warm Weekend

Temperatures to 80 in Seattle this weekend, 85 in Portland, 90 in Medford.

Windy Coastal Oregon

Southern Oregon (Brookings) / northern California (San Francisco) coast often has 30mph sustained winds during the warm season due to pressure & temperature differentials.

Surface Temperature <> Air Temperature

Surface temperature can be up to 40 degrees F warmer than air temperature. Seeds require specific temperatures to grow.

Return of the Warmth

Sunday - warm & sunny. Monday - more so - high in 70s. We had large convergence zones recently.

Nothing really changes...

People have been complaining about the weather around here since 1855. And still are.

Unanswered Questions

Funnel clouds appear in Skagit County around April (explanation missing from original post). Monday, April 30th was windy.

Thunderstorms

There were thunderstorms east of the Cascades on Monday evening & Tuesday.

Let's not overreact

Manmade climate change is not causing the extreme weather of late (but will likely cause extreme weather in the latter half of this century).

Warm Weekend & Meteors

Will be warm, but BC near coast will be wet. Lyrid Meteor sightings possible.

April 2012 - nice weekends

April has been drier than average & warmer than 2011. Weekend likely 60s & dry, better away from coast.

No Real Rain "Time"

Generally in our region, there is an ever so slightly higher chance of rain from 3-8AM. Less so elsewhere, like Florida.

Radar Images of Birds

Radar shows birds migrating north.

Hasta La Vista, La Nina

La Nina is fading, Sunday should be good weather, & SDOT has more road temperature sensors.

Might be warmer...

It's been warm lately & might continue some. This weekend should be good for hiking east of the Cascades.

$60 Million to save 60+ billion - going once, going twice...

The US lacks sufficient computational resources for weather forecasting, costing us billions each year. An upgrade would cost $60 million. Do the math.

Big Cloud Action

Big cloud action due to large temperature difference between ground & sky. 40 years ago (1972) - F3 tornado in Vancouver, WA.

Crossover - Like Passover for Weather?

Sometimes its warmer west of the Cascades (winter). Sometimes its not (late spring, summer, fall). This is Crossover! Also, east of the Cascades there are fun things to do (if you don't mind the lack of trees).

SyFy Makes a Movie About Seattle

Timing aside, its not a joke, at least, not in the April Fools sense.

It rained. A lot. More to come.

Record rainfall east of Cascades & greater than normal elsewhere. Late Monday / early Tuesday are going to be very wet. Lots of water vapor headed our way over Pacific (see image). Support public radio.

9 Ways to Adjust K-12 Edufailure

Some are on fire about education but aren't making an impact. Here's 9 things to consider changing. Expect a future monologue on textbooks.

More Sun (with caveats)

Big jump in sun from January-March, slower increase to July peak. Clouds interfere, but we do alright for our latitude.

Handing over the rains

Starting today, I'm handing over the reins to a new TLDR'er, Ben. Just one of dozens of applicants, Ben passed a very rigorous screening process. So I leave you in good hands.

Ben is a local mathematician who knows a bit about forecasting (energy use, not weather) and follows the weather as a hobby. He loves big storms (snowy and otherwise), enjoys German board games, roughhousing with his dogs, and enjoying life with his partner, Kim.

Everybody set aside your Seattle Freeze for a minute and give Ben a warm welcome. If he does things right (which I'm sure he will), this will be the longest post on the blog for a while.

Does someone want to take over this blog for me?

CliffMassTLDR got a little too busy to handle his duties as TLDRifier. Anyone want to take over this blog? Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in event of success.

It snowed

A lil bit.

Rainy lake

Some lake north of Gold Bar got lots of rain.

In other snowy news, there's an enhanced chance of light snow in some lowland locations on Sunday. No big storm though.

Snow less likely

It will get cold over the weekend, but a major lowland snow event does not look likely. Lots of snow in the mountains, so play it safe up there.

Snow over the weekend?

There's a good chance we'll get colder temps at the end of the week, but we must wait a few days to have a good idea what will happen. Lowland snow is a possibility, but far from certain.

Prediction for spring

Now that all those prognosticating animals are done, let's look at what the prognosticating scientists have to say.

Spring is predicted to be warmer than normal for the Northwest, making this a far better spring than the last two years.

Another fine day. Just one.

Today will be another fine day. But Wednesday will see some degradation--chance of light showers and cooler temps.

Animals predict the weather

The frog predicts good NW weather for the rest of the winter. The hog predicts 6 more weeks of winter on the East Coast.

I agree with both animals.

Divine retribution for writing about the weather

As punishment for writing about Napavine, the weather gods destroyed a radar and the Mukilteo Ivar's.

Colder than a Witch's ___ in Alaska

The East Coast is warmer than usual, the West Cost is colder, and Alaska is WAY colder. We're talking -77 F.

Where weather data comes from

We get the most weather data from weather satellites, but also from weather buoys, commercial ships, and airplanes.

Forecasts have become much more accurate over the past few decades. This chart shows how much (higher "anomaly correction" = better forecasts):

Napavine = Weird

Napavine, WA (just south of Chehalis) has some weird weather:

• 25.5 in. of snow last week
• the only place in western Washington to be hit by a tornado last year
• experienced flooding that closed the nearby Interstate for days
• the warmest temperatures in western Washington during the July 09 heat wave (114F)

Speaking of weird, check out what last week's winds did to some waterfront homes in Oregon:

UW Stuff

CliffMassTLDR doesn't even know how to TLDR this shitstorm. It's not weather-related, at any rate.

Snow on the peninsula

It's snowing right now, southeast of the Olympics.

Forecasts still change as more data come in. The Seattle Times doesn't understand this.

Lots of new snow in the mountains

Prior to last week, we had less than the average amount of snow in the Cascades. Now we're back to average.

It's over...for now

Warmer temperatures today. But forecast models for next week indicate some heavy rains, strong windstorms, and the arrival of frigid arctic air...

Oops I accidentally the weather

I forecasted a little freezing drizzle in the South, not that the precipitation would move so far north, so fast. We have several hours more of this snow/sleet/freezing rain event. By tomorrow morning, there should be warmer temps.

Freezing rain/sleet storm

In case you haven't noticed, we're having a rare freezing rain/sleet storm everywhere south of Everett. It's caused by a temperature inversion near the surface, where warm air pushes up above a sub-freezing air mass. Some of this rain is freezing on the way down into ice pellets (sleet), but a lot of it is staying liquid and hitting the ground as freezing rain (freezes on contact with the cold surface).

Today there will be a wintry potpourri: freezing rain, sleet, snow, and rain, until the air warms up enough to turn it all into rain.

Sn'over by 1PM

It's gonna stop snowing around 1PM. More snow tomorrow, but only for Olympia and south. Rain and warmer on Friday, washing the snow away.

Meet our new weatherman

Mr Spock, please hold up fingers to show us how many inches of snow there will be tomorrow:

Update

Newer, more reliable weather models agreeing with the "less snowfall" prediction. Stay tuned for more detail after 9pm tonight.

Less snow predicted for tomorrow

Predictions are now calling for less snow over Seattle tomorrow, probably only 2-5 inches. From Everett to Olympia, there will be less and less more and more snow as you head south.

Update: as some astute readers pointed out, CliffMassTLDR got the prediction of snow intensity backwards. Thanks for catching that.

I am exhausted thinking about all this weather action

There's gonna be some snow Tuesday, but the main event is Wednesday. The next few days have been hard to predict because two airstreams are battling it out up there.

The biggest snowstorm in years

Maybe. You know how those models are, always so fickle. But it looks like everything is going to be delayed by a day. In other words, there was obviously no snow event today; and Wednesday's slush might actually be lots more snow. Details tonight, after these models make up their beautiful minds.

More importantly, my lost dog was just spotted in Mountlake Terrace!

Some neighborhoods got more snow than others

Yet another reason it sucks to live in Hjärta-land

4 Horsemen of the Snowpocalypse, Harbingers of Slushmagedon

Horseman 1: Yesterday's convergence zone snow
Horseman 2: Today's snow with the coastal trough
Horseman 3. More snow later tomorrow with another trough
Horseman 4: SLUSHMAGEDON on Wednesday AM

Time for a nowcast!

Nowcast: lucky Everett, they got the Convergence Zone. It's snowing there now. Elsewhere, the snow level is 500ft. Snow showers in the mountains, of course.

Colder temperatures and more widespread snow tomorrow, up to a few inches.

More snow late Monday, and then wet snow early Wednesday, turning into rain.

Cliff Mass academic paper: TLDR

I published an academic paper about Nowcasting. "Nowcasting" is awesome because instead of requiring a prediction of what the weather will be like in the days ahead, all I need to do is describe the current weather on my blog. Oh, and it creates synergy.

It's not easy being cold AND wet

A very good chance of some lowland snow Saturday night into Sunday.

SNOW, er, I mean "snow?"

This increasing threat of snow SHOULD NOT BE OVERHYPED! Repeat: do not OVERHYPE the increasingly threatening forecast models, which predict colder temperatures and lowland snow from Sunday through Wednesday.

I'm going to use the word "snow"...

We'll have several dry days, but past Friday, there could be...

S
N
O
W

We'll know by Thursday.

My dog is still missing

When it comes to finding lost dogs, some people suck and some people rule. Please click that link and help me find her.

It was hot yesterday in BFE

Beautiful, Faraway Eatonville that is.
