  1. Thanks! I didn't know that. Pretty advanced stuff!! When there isn't crap flinging going on this site can be exciting with weather knowledge. If this forum was taken more seriously we could have more real scientists chime in here but most don't like the meat bees that fly around here.
  2. Ummm what? Sounds interesting but a little more clarity please? "You can't see it. It's electric! You can't feel it. It's electric! You can't do without it. It's electric! But it's there. Here there and everywhere!' (The Electric Slide)
  3. I wasn't feeling good at the Feb 2014 either but I do remember the December 2014 event but still before that there wasn't very much but then again I've notice it doesn't take much either to effect temps.
  4. I live in the Silverton alternate reality. I can't tell from here when the gorge is having winds but I do want to know when was the last time we had a cooler then normal minimum month? We've had plenty of cold maximums since 2006 but what about minimums?
  5. Any chances that the sunspots might be the cause of our constant onshore flow?
  6. Okay weather experts. When will we have an extended period of offshore flow for extended warmth or cold? Has anybody notice we haven't had a real stormy winter since 2006? All the snow events we have had were done from cold onshore flow patterns but we just can't seem to muster enough offshore flow for extended cold/warmth.etc? Even the 2008 snow and cold would've been more severe if we had any extended flow reversal as it was predicted to get down to 0F but never happened which would've made the snow cover last well into January!
  7. So where does the line get drawn in communities that are (well) prepared?
  8. Is Bellingham WA more prepared for snow or do things still close down there like Seattle at the slightest coating? Is it kind of like Baltimore vs Washington DC in preparedness?
  9. How do you search for other locations in the area such as Bellingham as all I get are order forms.
  10. Down here it's been a bit on the humid side actually but a good chunk of the time it has been nice but we couldn't enjoy it due to being booted out of our house from the seller to the inspector looking at it before our move.
  11. I doubt my post will even get seen in all the static but I'll give it a try! I hope we don't have a Carrington Super Flare like 1859 that nearly fried the then new telegraph system and caused some of the telegraph paper to catch fire. Operators during the event found that the telegraph key would still operate even when disconnected from the battery entirely. http://www.solarstorms.org/SS1859.html This link has an archive of ALL our solar flares and recently put old newspaper links into PDF files since the original links for a long time failed and I am glad the updated their site since it has been several YEARS of neglect. During declining phases is usually when the strongest CME's actually happen in between quiet periods. Unless power crews are alert and can disconnect power supplies safely our infrastructure is at serious risk which people have appealed to the government to harden it to no avail.
  12. Isn't dry cold fronts only a Midwest phenomena? I didn't think we could get them here.
  13. I have seen plenty of days in June were unusal chilly weather happens in the daytime as a result of cloud cover but what causes record lows at night? What is the pattern and dynamics going on? Is it the same pattern that causes record cold nights in the winter time only without snow cover? It seems to not happen very often. Salem amazingly has many sub 40F record lows! The record low is right around 32F believe it or not but I don't remember where I found the statistics! All I got were commercial sites on Google like Weather Warehouse wanting to charge tons of money for data
  14. I bet the people of that planet is wondering if there is life *out there*.
  15. About east winds. Why is it that damage is not as much with 70mph east winds compared to 45mph south winds despite those 70mph east winds lasting many more hours? I hate spring! I am under constant medication for severe allergies and the medication makes me tired.
