12Z GFS is way faster with the low on the Sunday... its in central WA already by 4 p.m.

 

That is probably a secondary low... as its still raining up to about Mount Vernon.    

 

But Bellingham is being buried at that time...

The best part of a good snowstorm around here IS the disturbance of every day life. It brings out the kids in adults and most people enjoy it. It really is magic around here when it happens and you do

I've been lurking here for years and rarely post, but let me just say this about the ridiculous Tim criticism. 1) You've all added about 100x more attention and energy to these "negative" posts than t

Just for you, snow wizard!!  1969 near SeaTac Airport.   Found these while moving my uncle out of his house.  My grandfather sent them to him when he was over seas fighting in the Vietnam War.   Grand

Be nice to see the time frame between 66 and 72.

We come from the land of the ice and snow.

I have to figure out if I can stream the game somehow.    There is no chance my DirectTV dish will be getting a signal on Sunday evening.

 

Do you not have any access to your dish?? If we didn't make a retractable pole with a brush on in it we would never get a signal 8 months of the year here. Our snow is obviously way drier so a lot of storms doesn't require any brushing since it just blows away but I'm surprised you can't rig something together to brush it off.

Cold Season 2023/24:

Total snowfall: 26"

Highest daily snowfall: 5"

Deepest snow depth: 12"

Coldest daily high: -20ºF

Coldest daily low: -42ºF

Number of subzero days: 5

There have been some subsequent posts on this since then... and dry snow with wind is usually not a problem.   But most of our snow is wetter and heavier.

I see that now...go buy another light bulb changing pole! Our shoulder seasons bring plenty of wet snow so our 20ft pole with a brush taped to it gets plenty of use then!

just woke up! Staying on that Oregon time!

 

We are an hour north of kona in Hawi!

 

Wow.   Been there many times and have done that hike at the end of the road down to that beach.   Its pretty wet and stormy up there compared to the west side.

 

There is not much in that town.   We always stop for ice cream there after the hike.   I remember my son dropping his entire ice cream upside side down in the middle of the road there when he was 9.     :)

      Biden is disliked by many, Trump is absolutely hated by more.

      In less than a week, the tree outside my home office fully leafed out. Last week they were all so tiny and bunched up.

      We agree my friend in Christ... my dear brother... and fellow child of God. I try to avoid fast food as much as possible.

      Other issue is that Biden is also HIGHLY unfavorable, and the 2024 election could have a very low turnout from both sides.

      Polite Politics

      Nikki Haley dropped out over a month and a half ago and yet she just pulled 157k votes in the PA primary, enough for almost 17%. Earlier this month, she received 13% of Wisconsin and New York primary votes as well as 11% of Rhode Island votes and 14% in Connecticut. In most of those states, the combined non-Trump vote was around 20%. It certainly appears that roughly 20% of the Republican party are 'never Trumpers' and will most likely not vote for him in November. Trump was unable to secure 6% of the party in 2020 and lost the election. Even if half that 20% ends up coming home to Trump, that is still a significant hurdle for him to climb within his own party, let alone Independents or moderate Democrats. I still firmly believe that Trump will lose us this election and we will be staring down the barrel of a Kamala Harris presidency within a year or two. Maybe by 2028 the Republican Party will pull their heads out of their asses and move on from the guy. Although something tells me our party leaders are just not all that smart.
