Good looking beastie Auburn airport

A few light showers floating around. This morning’s rain didn’t amount to much. Had to get the sprinkler going to get my fertilizer washed into the lawn.

Couple fun shots touch and goes

A little snow on the ridge behind our house

I’ll take a look and see if anything exciting but currently in Auburn looking a this beautiful storm . Looking north from the Toyota dealership. Need some new boots on my rig already 2022 and 70k miles on her

Some flakes mixing in here currently.

I think T-Town does all his Kucheraing during cocktail hour

One last shot from that earlier storm drifting off into the Cascades. I’m overlooking Auburn in this photo

Some good clouds this evening.

Seattle's done that

Excited to see todays Timelapse from @Blizzard777

Most spots are within a degree of normal. PDX once again representing the extreme in one direction.

Raining and sticking in God’s Country!!

I do like my Starlink! Especially since cord number 4 still works and has not fried in over a year like the other 3 did. Suck it HughsNet!!!

I knew I was going to see a post like this after seeing snow out your way while crossing the ship canal bridge.

I mean, unlike you, I don't hate America, so I hope BYD doesn't sell cars in the United States without a proper review from the WTO. I've got a Model S, it drives great, plenty fast, and a 10% to 80% charge takes about 15 minutes at a Supercharger. Charging at home means that I rarely have to think about range, but when I have to during a road trip, I hit about 400 miles. While I don't agree with your stance that Mao was actually a great guy or that America would be a much better nation had the Wobblies lynched Bill Boeing (again, your views, not mine), I do agree with you that the Cybertruck looks like garbage. Well, that one giant ass wiper blade, cheap interior, and carrot shaving edges. Looking forward to the company getting a new CEO one day soon.

Dusting of snow on Mt. Si even with leafed out trees on this chilly morning... precip has ended now. ECMWF shows there will be a decent amount of sun this afternoon across the area with some pop up showers later.

Lol, yes….being retired or taking more vacations time helps in putting the miles on these machines. As long as I have energy I’m staying away from the house and exploring before my body says otherwise. Every day counts as I know life can slam you quickly !!! This is also great way to deal with being divorced !

Seattle won't have any water supply issues. Chester Morse Reservoir is at 100%. Which probably happens even when precip is way below normal because we have so much cushion and outflow can easily be managed. Controlling the level so water doesn’t top the dam is the goal there.

Sister-in-law near Okoboji, IA reported the sirens were going off about 20-30 minutes ago. Looks like there was a tornado warning issued around then for a cell that ended up passing by just to the west. Closer to home, we are now up to 1.14 inches on the day and have a slight break in the precip as the low moves by just to our south. We had an almost-midnight high of 67 but have maintained a temp on either side of 55 for most the day. A far cry from the 88 degrees we reached just a few days ago.

It was a heavier shower that dragged the snow level down with it. It was only a few flakes mixing in here and there. I’m only at about 410 feet elevation.

When I was little I was inside watching Saturday morning cartoons and my mom was outside working in the flower beds. We had the windows open to air out the house, and my mom started yelling for me. I ran to the window and she yelled at me to hurry up and close the windows. I looked up the street and I could see this huge green cloud blowing down the street headed our way, and as the gust wall hit each tree, the tree shook off a bunch of pollen that added to the cloud. It was pretty wild.

Some sun... and still a little snow on the ridge.

No. Satellite image shows just forest.

If this April does end up well below normal for precip across the region, it will join the following years from the past 20: 2021, 2020, 2016, 2015, 2008, 2007, and 2004. Doesn't appear to be much correlation to following summer weather or fire season. Best matches ENSO wise would be 2016 and 2007.

No snow here. Just another dry arctic blast just like January was. Low of 37. Currently 39.

Wow that mountain doesn’t even have snow in January!

06Z GFS says just get through today and spring will return.

Tiny coating of slush here. @Meatyorologist called it! SEA radar is down as of 45 minutes ago so can't tell if more is coming but c-zone appeared to be falling apart when it went down.

More hate-watching for our favorite troll: Outstanding interview. I loved the back and forth with Jon's points about the U.S. being total hypocrites about our stated goals and framed arguments for our actions, and David's simple response is "And so we've got to make a really hard and bad choice, which is, do we want to be the one trying to-- to fill that void with our technology and our principles, understanding that we violate them all the time? Or do we want to let an authoritarian regime go fill that space, which we know how that's going to look?" A simple yet incredibly hard to refute response. We are the most benevolent imperialist power. We f*ck up a lot of stuff around the world, but do you want them to fix things or us? The other interesting point that is pretty obvious is that China will throw as much as it can into catching up to TSMC, whether it is by ingenuity or theft, and as soon as they are, Taiwan is theirs. Will the U.S. go to war over that? Dunno. There's no going back to fix our mistakes, and competition is really heating up around the world. The next few decades are going to be very interesting.

Not expecting much rain here overnight or tomorrow. It's looking like Thursday may be my best shot. I'm so tired of drought!

Mine was fall for years. But I have come around to enjoying all more equally as I’ve grown older and wiser, Andrew.

I snapped this SNAP crossing the Glenn Jackson about a half hour ago. I can see the cloudiness to the east and down your way Andrew. You are actually about due south of that bridge. I always look toward Table Rock and give you a little tip of the hat when I cross But I actually wouldn’t worry too much Andrew. I think the clear skies are moving your way.

Now it’s raining. @Cascadia_Wx

As T-Town mentioned not and exciting day in the South Sound but here’s the Timelapse regardless. They are always fascinating to watch https://video.nest.com/clip/a49f673ffd5c4cc29e807e5e7b804cee.mp4

I’m kidding, dude.

Graupel-y snow shower 46

Got home from school, and my guage showed almost 1.10” today. Way over performed. Now we have another cold rain coming Wednesday night into Thursday. Then rain and snow Friday night into Saturday. Nice.

The second line looked promising for a while, but it was very thin and raced through in only a couple minutes. My event rain total is 0.67". I'll take it, but it's much less than what models were spitting out a few days ago.

Now just a leisurely 53 mph north wind as the low moves away. One of the windiest springs in recent memory.

Eastern whites doing the same thing here now. Like yellow smoke blowing off the trees. When I get home I’ll take a pic of my car it’s

The only accumulation we’ve seen here the past couple of days has been pollen.

Closing in on 1.0”. Very unexpected, and not forecasted to get this amount. We’ll take it.

We have modest +dAAMt ongoing with the MJO propagating through the WHEM, so when the current pattern break down at least it will be into something wetter and more progressive. But it will only last for a few weeks given the active MJO/subseasonal forcing(s). The dryness so far this spring is a result of residual niño elements in the general circulation (STJ, relatively higher AAM equatorward in-situ w/rt climatology) and seasonally-dependent projection(s) of the MJO. But I don’t see anything suggesting this year will be a dry tinderbox up there. Usually you’d see those red flags showing up in the tropics/general circulation by now, if so.

well dang, I figured we'd find a rare ice age holdout

I wish my grandfather was still alive to see EVs. He had a depression era mindset and was obsessed with gas prices. When his old beater car broke he got a Prius and loved the gas mileage of that thing. I guarantee he would have a Model 3 right now and would have figured out where all of the free level 2 charging stations are located.

12z GFS shows some pretty dead weather for us the next week at least. Not a single system making it through and temps running consistently 4-6 degrees above normal.

Sun is coming out here too!

Sunny here! Summer is saved!

That truck is such an ugly POS that barely functions as a truck. I really wonder about the longevity of stainless steel - really feels like a rusty nightmare waiting to happen. The only good looking car they've ever made was the OG Model S.
