  1. Snow globe status in Whatcom County. Million text message of videos and pics coming through.
  2. Ferndale is getting hammered right now. All of Whatcom County north of fairhaven as far as I can tell.
  3. Freezing rain, then snow…. That’s what happened on December 28th 1996 up north there pretty sure. Going to be a wild day in Whatcom County tomorrow.
  4. Worst case scenario for driving, and just about everything.
  5. Sweating is healthy. You don’t even have to workout. Who needs a sauna!!!
  6. I don’t think I’d love -30 . I’d love the sitting by a crackling hot wood fire stove during it though!
  7. Reports from an old teacher on west side of Lake Whatcom, east of Bellingham (for those who aren’t aware)… 30*F and raining. Right on the lake.
  8. If I ever move back to Washington I’m moving to the east slopes of the cascades. Or north central washington. Anywhere in the area Snowmizer has his cabin would be ideal. Perhaps when summer rains become a thing again and this decade long stretch of forest fire mania subsided.
  9. you actually paint the picture very well. For us the entire past summer felt like a vacation. It was very odd, but man, it definitely feels nice. The sound of the cicadas …
  10. I invite the Hurricanes. We’re renting, and we’re also about 8 miles inland. Bring it!
  11. I remember being in High School and seeing you post pictures of your toddlers playing in the snow. I remember being in my teens telling you you were a bad father and husband . Lol’ing at myself right now. Now all but one of my 4 kids are past toddler age. Wild. It’s been 20….21 years since we cyber met on the old farmers almanac forum. My first winter tracking weather with forecast models was 2003-2004.
  12. Cost of living. Also my In-laws moved go South Carolina (Greenville) along with all my wife’s siblings (6). We tried it up there, but I have to be near the ocean, and we love the beach… so it just made the most sense. the #1 perk of being here though is that I have no spring allergies. I don’t know if anyone outside of Mattias knew how badly I suffered from April-July with hay fever. Missed 10+ days of school/work every spring since 4th grade. It was amazing having none of that this year. (Btw it was 10x worse in South Carolina).
  13. Tim, i’m just playing! I love coming back on here and feeling right in the mix…. It makes me feel young again. LOL
  14. I don’t know, we’ve really liked it so far. There have been more days than I can count since early September that have reminded me of PNW summers. Upper 70s and wall to wall sunshine, cool evenings… the only type of weather I’ll miss is snow…. It’s been an edge of my seat kind of week tracking things back home. Mom says she’s going to send pics and videos of the snow in the AM. I might cry. I’ll be happy if it looks somewhat like this though… perhaps without the xmas lights.
  15. Summers. 90-95* almost every day. Water temp 80-90 from June to September. Good luck having dry clothes.
  16. They absolutely are, especially in summer. We’ve had 3-4 tornado warnings since our move in March.
  17. 20 years later. Same Tim. Still getting banned from the weather forum for complaining about rain, moss, and posting warm weather maps. . If you want consistency in your life and you have none, join theweatherforums, where nobody’s character ever changes.
  18. 38*F And dropping like a rock in Jacksonville Florida here on my front doorstep. Huge puddle in the yard from rain early today… might have a glaze on it by morning, as we are under a freeze warning .
  19. I think you left out 1 star. It’s spelled “****”
  20. Looks like it’ll be a wonderful time to be in Leavenworth.
  21. Well sir! Was kind of a psycho the past week watching this blast and potential snow from my first winter across the country. Happy it’s over, but disappointed for everyone that there was no snow involved during the cold spell. How’s things at the home-front, and the property?
  22. Bellingham Washington saw its coldest daily average since December 28th and 29th of 1969... 1/12/24: Hi: 10*F Lo: 3*F (6.5*F average). 2/2/89: Hi: 12*F Lo: 5*F (NWS doesn't have data for 2/1/89 for BLI. Unofficially it was a Hi: 8 Lo: 0 spread). 12/28/68: Hi: 9*F Lo: 0*F (4.5*F average) 12/29/69: Hi: 9*F Lo: 1*F (5*F average) 12/16/64: Hi: 10*F Lo: -1*F (4.5*F average). What is astounding to me is that 1/12/24 was colder than any single day in January 1950. The 6.5*F daily average is an entire 1*F colder than the coldest day that month which was 1/25/50 (Hi:17 Lo: -2 for daily average of 7.5*F.) Also to note, the coldest official Hi temp at BLI in January 1950 was 13*F.... I'm just shocked... Growing up in Bellingham, I saw 10-12*F a number of times. December 22nd 1998, January 4th 2004, November 28th 2006, December 20th 2008, January 17th 2012... It seemed like 10*F was the lowest it could get anymore... I remember having conversations on this forum about low temperatures and how arctic air masses just wouldn't be as cold with global warming etc etc. "If this same arctic blast hit 50 years ago it would have been XXX colder..." The last few years have blown that idea out of the water, starting with December 2021. December 2021 had 3 single digit lows at BLI, the first single digit lows at BLI since December of 1990 when we saw 4. However the lowest daily average in 12/90 was 14*F. Here are the single digit days for BLI in 12/21. 12/26/21: Hi: 16*F Lo: 9*F 12/27/21: Hi: 16*F Lo: 7*F 12/31/21: Hi: 27*F Lo: 6*F December 2022 didn't record any single digit lows at BLI, however there were low single digit lows within 5-10 miles of the airport. We recorded 5*F out near Lake Whatcom on 12/22 around 4 am, and widespread 6-8*F where winds were calm in the south part of Whatcom County. And here we are, the third consecutive winter with some of the coldest temperatures in DECADES. 1/12/24: HI: 10*F Lo: 3*F 1/13/24: Hi: 19*F Lo: 7*F What gives? Dumb luck? New Regime??? This is D**n impressive. And very unfortunate that there has been ZERO measurable snowfall at BLI this year. Uncharted territory to have it be this cold and zero snow in the winter.
  23. I set the hose on mist and left it propped up towards the pear tree at my Dad’s house. We woke up the next morning to the most amazing tree icicle. The entire thing was coated in several inches of ice. I have a picture of it somewhere but I think it was on a low quality flip phone.
