Amazing weather today, I think it was nature's gift to me for my 59th bday. Got pretty good conditions to climb Mount Hood, although the winds at the summit were around 40mph, forecast was calling for winds in the 20s which unfortunately did not verify. Here's a photo dump from our climb, sadly my camera fogged up little bit, so all of the photos are slightly blurry.25 points

Just had a very intense snow shower move through. Looks like it's wrapping up, but it ended up dropping about 0.5" with some truly massive snowflakes up over 2" in diameter. It was hard to measure depth because the snowflakes themselves created such large variations. Temperature is down to 33F, but snow is melting very quickly now that it has let up.24 points

Well my dog just died and it really sucks because we couldn’t be there with him when he died. The person that was watching him took him to the emergency room and next thing we know we are getting a FaceTime from her and it’s of the vet putting him down. Just really sucks that we couldn’t be there for his death and we almost considered not going on this trip because he was having problems the other night right before we left. Just glad he’s in a better place now because it seemed like he had been suffering the past week.23 points

My wife passed in 2016. I just have a girlfriend, but we've been together for 6 years. She loves the snow too.19 points

I also got to see that eclipse in Wyoming, on the summit of the Grand Teton, there were maybe 20-30 people up there which is by far the most I've see on thst summit, typically it's no more than 5 people. Seeing the shadow of the eclipse move towards you is an unforgettable experience, if any of yall ever have a chance to see an eclipse ontop of a mountain, do it. Here's a few pics, which does ZERO justice for the view. Solar eclipse pics are probably the thing that looks the least like it actually does in person.18 points

Absolutely beautiful morning in Everett. Ended up with three inches on elevated surfaces and trees gloriously flocked like as if they were out of a 19th century painting. Dark sky to the north and a pink sky to the south.18 points

Certainly the heaviest snow I've seen all winter. If this was a classic c-zone it could have gotten really good. I'm pretty surprised this is real snow and not graupel.18 points

Nah. I was involved with two different forums that required some kind of donation drive or squabbling over things like adverts and memberships. The bills average ~150 a month and I can cover it without any issue, so that can rule out a lot of drama. The real reason why some of the upgrades have dragged on or why @hawkstwelve doesn't have SSH access yet is that my time seems to be feast or famine, especially with a kid, a job at FAANG Co, and a side project/startup/fever dream. I still have a kanban board with the following: - recovering deleted posts from the April 2023 forum hack - merging westernwx.info forum - cleaning up storage (unlimited storage is the largest driver of costs, thats why I don't like it when Phil uploads a 40 minutes 8k iPhone video of flurries) - setting up YVR/SEA/PDX High Res WRF and local Graphcast - write a "Looking back on 10 years" post I'll get to this sooner or later.17 points

Winding down now. It was only able to accumulate to 0.8" because the snow was so wet. Still a very impressive snow shower though. Interestingly the snow was drier early in the event when it was about 36 than it is now with a temp of 33. Dry air is so crucial sometimes, and the air eventually became saturated.17 points

Spent most of the day in the Coast Range between 1000-1500 ft. I never quite get used to how drastically different the microclimates in our region can be. Completely different world today once you get to even about 700 ft there. Absolute winter wonderland with on and off snow all day and awesome orographic enhancement of these showers. I've grown pretty tired of the ultra marginal climate down at the lowest elevations and now days I just drive up a bit in elevation to find more interesting weather. Next time I move I'm really going to try to get up to at least 500 ft if not 1000 ft+. The Coast Range or SW WA Cascade foothills still at the top of my list I think.17 points

Woke up to moderate snow still falling! Looks like about 2” here. I’ve seen reports of areas a mile or two south of me with better elevation reaching a total of 4-5”. This is a classic nighttime convergence zone snow event!17 points

Torn ACL. Can't walk normally yet... certainly can't be shoveling driveway or using snowblower. My son said he will come home and help if it really piles up.15 points

Madison, WI went from 70 degrees at 3pm yesterday to 11 at 7am this morning when their cold front moved through. Doesn't make it any less interesting to track our cold front here though. Based on your attitude we shouldn't get excited when Seattle sees snow since Buffalo sees feet at a time sometimes.14 points
