That "meteorologist" knows about as much about our climate as a rocket scientist knows about brain surgery. 

 

She is a ditsy blowhard who is more concerned with her appearance than actual meteorology. 

 

Ask her colleagues in Denver

45 here this morning... really warmed up overnight. Still dry but precip is approaching.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Starting to snow here and 35 degrees dewpoint 24. North East wind has been going here all night. The komo composite radar has a decent sized blue area over here. I'm right on the edge of the blue just south of the pink dot.

I think we are getting "warm nosed" out here. 

 

Dewpoint is down to 25 though with a strong east wind.

 

45 in North Bend and windy... 32 in Carnation and calm.

East wind?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

0.34" of rain overnight. Temp went from 35 to 44 this morning. Going to be a mild day up here. My friend over in Central Oregon got about 2" of snow overnight.

00Z EPS was classic Nino...

mesoscale analysis shows you are indeed getting warm nosed

[ShawniganLake]

NE winds gusting 30-40mph in the typical outflow areas of the Fraser.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I've been surprised at what a blowtorch this winter has been nationally. 

[MossMan]

Cloudy, 36 with a DP of 0!

 

I really need to get my new weather station up and running!

[Geos]

Just wait until next year, I hear it will be way worse. Bsf for the whole nation.

[TT-SEA]

Down to 43 here with rain starting... up to 45 at SEA.

[crf450ish]

22.7f at my house w/ flurries. 8f up near Chesaw. Supposed to get 1-3" today.

[TT-SEA]

Wet bulb cooling working even here... temp has dropped to 39 with a dewpoint of 27 and there are snowflakes mixed in now despite waking up to 45 degrees. 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

It snowed for an hr and dropped to 33. Turned to rain went up to 36 now its almost all snow again and 34. Bremerton airport temp is falling. Wet bulb is amazing.

Enjoy. Wouldn’t be too surprised if this was our only snow of the season.

[ShawniganLake]

It’s January 8th.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

The 06 GFS-FV3 goes absolutely nuts with the blocking in the long range.

Main band is already moving north... precip is ending here but still some snowflakes falling.

[Geos]

Little late... Cougar Mountain yesterday got a couple inches of snow at nearly 1600 ft. Probably was more earlier in the morning. 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jesse]

Rainy morning with strong east winds here. Gusting close to 40mph. Temp is 41.

[Jesse]

At least that big cinnamon bun spinning offshore should help continue the demise of the blob.

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

41 with occasional sprinkles and an east wind. Sadly no cold air to work with.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Here we go.

The ECMWF hires is blowing up heights over the North Pole into Alaska. This is the first step towards the highly touted pattern change in January. Note the wavenumber 5/6 pattern around the Hemisphere now, composed of 5 (arguable there are 6) anomalous troughs.

The best winter since 1968-69 begins TODAY.

39* Federal Way

Currently at my parents place in SE Portland with some nice gusty east winds blowing at times.

 

Had awesome celebration of life service yesterday for Dad and nice weather as well!

The most emotional part was at Willamette National Cemetery where he had the Three volley solute with Taps playing.

Navel personal handed over the flag to my Mom....such a powerful moment and emotions flowed. I so much wanted to thank the two gentlemen who who did the 13 folds of our Flag but they disappeared just as hero’s do.

My condolences again to you and your family. I'm glad you were able to celebrate his life and remember all the great times you had together.

I remember when my dad died, the taps and salute were very emotional.  The gal playing taps was at a bit of a distance, and that added to the affect.  My mom had already passed, so I got the flag.  That was an incredible honor for me.  They gave condolences "On behalf of a grateful nation".  

 

We are all grateful for you fathers' service to our country.

Glad folks up north got some snow so they can cross 91-92 off their board.

Folks up north had some snow in 91-92 as well. Right around Halloween.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

 

Why not?

[Omegaraptor]

 

Why not?

Yay, more ridging...

 

Yeah, we could really outdo January 2018 for warmth.
