    My spot in Lakewood hasn't gotten any snow this year. Probably not T-Town either, he's only four miles north of me. It's getting kind of impressive how we keep dodging these late season squalls.

    Dumping a rain/snow mix in Lakewood right now!

    I saw a lot of lethargic songbirds at the park today. Normally they would fly away when approached, but in this cold you can just walk right up to them and they don't care.

    My backyard has dropped from 24 to 21 degrees in the last hour. Sunny and windy.

    The clouds are finally getting interesting, in fact I think I saw that same cloud! I'm about 4 miles south of you in Oakbrook.

    There are clouds all around the horizon, but the sky's been blue here all day long. WTF

    Getting a rain/sleet mix in Lakewood just now @ 40 degrees. 925 is 31 degrees.

    I'm super excited for this frozen/sunny weather. Should make for some sparkly landscape photos, even without snow.

    There's still a huge amount of variability in these members.

    Magic beans?

    Just hit our house in Lakewood like a freight train! Cat is scared.

    Same thing happened in geology when plate tectonics was discovered. There was a whole generation of old professors who just couldn't handle the fact that their doctorate research was now obsolete. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosyncline

    No more 50-burgers!! I'm now on Team Frost Taco.

    "Only" got up to 108 IMBY, but the GFS was surprisingly on the money.

    I haven't seen this mentioned but just recently the USDA re-evaluated its plant hardiness zones. Seattle got bumped up from Zone 8b to Zone 9a, which means that the expected annual low temps are between 20 and 25 degrees. I'm thinking they're gonna end up with egg on their face and will end up reverting the map next year. People in my neighborhood have been planting windmill palm trees left and right, which are supposedly a hardy palm species. But I don't think they'll survive what's coming next week!

    Windstorms are fun until you try to go hiking in the spring and there are 500 logs across the trail!

    Now combine that with the 116 burger that Portland got in June 2021. Mediterranean climate types don't play around.

    I love all our weather, except for fluorescent gray overcast. The dense fog we had recently was super awesome.

    Who else thinks this system will shut down the passes?

    I've been enjoying these threads since the 2021 heat wave, but my background is in geology not meteorology. I don't know enough about atmospheric oscillation phases and whatnot to have anything productive to add to the conversation. I read Cliff Mass's book about PNW weather, but it doesn't go into that kind of detail. Any textbook recommendations?

    There's some insanely dense fog at Fort Steilacoom right now. I actually got lost for a minute even though I've walked those trails hundreds of times.
  24. CloudJunkie
    Wow, the fog is coming back in force! Gonna try some moody landscape photography tomorrow morning.

    I know what you mean. In the last five years we've had three towns burn to the ground: Paradise, CA; Detroit, OR; and Lytton, BC. Washington's luck can't hold out forever. Packwood in particular is a deathtrap, with forested neighborhoods only accessible by a single bridge over the Cowlitz River.
