57 Tropical degrees currently!

Was it right around Thanksgiving 2008 when the models started toying with the idea of juicy carrots in La La Land?

Warm out now! Dry, windy, and a mild 56 degrees currently!

Seattle on November 21st 1896!

Currently in the rain shadow here at work...and i'm okay with that!

Was 34 this morning at 4am and had frost on my truck, by 6:30 it’s raining and 38. Still sitting at 39 currently with rain.

I am!! Let’s do this!!!

I would answer you but Jesse would most likely melt down. The torch coming up this week will be hard enough on him. Anyway back to the weather... still dark out, upper 30’s, no wind.

He’s in Buffalo now where he will get to enjoy lake effect snow all winter long I’m sure!

Nah it will fall slightly short...just like Walsh’s kick.

Oh 0h...

38 here as well. Figured we would have been in the torch-a-thon by now.

I have extensive coverage of 1996 from Seattle...but no KGW 2008, ect. Sorry.

Oh and a lovely Christmas morning... now I’m done haha! URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA 758 AM PST THU DEC 25 2008 EAST PUGET SOUND LOWLANDS-EVERETT AND VICINITY- SEATTLE/BREMERTON AREA- 758 AM PST THU DEC 25 2008 ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM PST THIS AFTERNOON... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR WESTERN SNOHOMISH COUNTY...NORTH SEATTLE...AND THE NORTH PART OF THE EAST PUGET SOUND LOWLANDS NORTH OF BELLEVUE...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM PST THIS AFTERNOON. THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. A PERSISTENT BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL AFFECT THE NORTH PUGET SOUND AREA THROUGH ABOUT 1 PM TODAY. AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 5 INCHES OF WET SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN THIS AREA. THE WARNING AREA EXTENDS FROM ABOUT ARLINGTON SOUTHWARD TO NORTH SEATTLE...INCLUDING EVERETT...AND EASTWARD TO THE CASCADES...INCLUDING THE NORTH BELLEVUE TO REDMOND AREA...UP THROUGH SNOHOMISH AND BACK TO ARLINGTON. ABOUT 2 INCHES OF WET SNOW HAD FALLEN IN THE BOTHELL TO LAKE CITY CORRIDOR AS OF 7 AM. THERE WILL BE LULLS IN THE SNOW SHOWERS AS THE INDIVIDUAL SNOW BANDS WEAKEN AND ARE THEN REPLACED WITH A NEW BAND OF SHOWERS. THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF AFTER 1 PM. SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE AT TIMES THE REST OF TODAY...BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS INTENSE OR PERSISTENT. RAIN MAY BRIEFLY MIX WITH SOME OF THE SHOWERS...BUT THE HEAVIER SHOWERS WILL BE ALL SNOW. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... THE HEAVY WET SNOW FALLING ON ALREADY SLOWLY MELTING SNOW WILL MAKE SLUSHY MIX THAT CAN BE ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS FOR DRIVERS. THIS IS A RECIPE FOR HYDROPLANING EVEN FOR MORE SNOW CAPABLE VEHICLES IF YOU ARE DRIVING TOO FAST. WATER WILL TEND TO ACCUMULATE IN RUTS ALREADY CARVED OUT BY PREVIOUS DRIVERS...SO UP TO TWO INCHES OF STANDING WATER CAN MAKE HYDROPLANING MUCH MORE LIKELY. DRIVE SLOWER AND MORE CAUTIOUSLY...AND BE PATIENT WITH DRIVERS OF LESS CAPABLE VEHICLES. IN ADDITION...THE WET SNOW WILL ADD MORE WEIGHT TO LARGE AMOUNTS OF SNOW THAT HAVE ALREADY ACCUMULATED ON ROOFS. FLAT ROOF ESPECIALLY MAY BE AT RISK TO SUFFER DAMAGE FROM THE WEIGHT OF HEAVY DENSE SNOW.

I won’t post many since they are so long but this is one of my favorites!

I keep falling for this!!!!!! And I will probably continue to do so!!

When I was a kid our house had a huge wrap around uncovered deck so I would shovel all the snow to one spot in front of our huge living room windows and make one ginormous pile of snow so I could look at it long after it would warm up. I’m sure my parents loved that.

Moderate rain and 47 degrees currently.

Wow some great years in there!

Currently 40 degrees and had some sort of frozen precip hitting my south facing windows for about 2 min.

Just got a report from a friend that lives outside of Arlington near Oso that it’s snowing at their house.

Should be raining at Tim’s now! Still dry and very windy here. Temp down to 44.
