Fircrest

But then there's always the Farmer's Almanac prediction https://www.travelawaits.com/2790145/farmers-almanac-winter-forecast-2022/ A brisk winter for PNW!

Having the same experience as T-Town here in Fircrest. Just a little drizzle earlier but haven't been able to get the rain band to come this far west. Though the radar looks like we might get something soon. It's been sort of teasing us all day. I really want it to rain. I enjoy rain no matter the season or the holiday. That's my preference and that's all I will say unless I take it to the other thread...

I would agree with that. Nasal sprays definitely have helped my allergies in recent years and the occasional Zyrtec for an extra bad day.

Great looking garden! What do you use for soil/compost mix? And do you add any fertilizer?

Haha, I'll be there this afternoon dropping off return items at the Amazon counter. Though I'm 2 years too young to be a boomer.

Speaking of movies, we just finished The Aeronauts on Prime Video. Pretty entertaining and actually has quite a bit of meteorology in it.

Freezing fog and 29 this AM. Coldest morning of the whole inversion for me.

Found this on Twitter from last night.

Yeah, not sure we are going to break out of it today like yesterday. Still very gloomy here.

The sun is out where I am in south Tacoma. It looks good and feels nice too.

She's not very helpful with puzzles.

41 and cloudy here just south of the beautiful Fircrest Golf Club. And I don't even play golf.

I kind of agree with you and find earthquakes to be exciting as long as they are not too disruptive of course. I was riding in a work truck in Tacoma during the Nisqually quake and didn't feel a thing, kind of disappointed actually. During another smaller quake I was on a ferry and of course had no idea one was occurring. There have been other minor ones that somehow I never felt. I tell people that if they want to be safe during a quake, just be with me

Foggy at Ebey's Landing and Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island today.

Beautiful! Nothing like that here though, very thick fog this morning.

I know, it just seems like he was posting every day even when things didn't look good for cold. I also have noticed that when he is working, he doesn't post during the day, like some of us!

So is Jim ok? Does anyone communicate with him on the side? I don't know where he works or I might go check on him Covington area isn't that far from Tacoma...

If interested in learning more about that I highly recommend The Boys in the Boat. A great book that is being made into a movie soon.

Well, that was quick. I-5 is already open! Feel free to head to PDX.

A little bit! I'm sure we'll be fine. I don't have to travel anywhere. But there are people that do. And it will disrupt commerce for sure. Already supply chain issues....

20 mile stretch between Grand Mound and Chehalis I believe. Amtrak is also shut down due to mud slides so we don't have that option for getting to Portland, etc.

Kiro FM reporting that I-5 is now closed due to flooding. We are cut off in the Puget sound area now with all passes closed.

Going to be pretty bad if I-5 shuts down and all passes are closed. A travel nightmare!
