Looks like a nice little kitty! 

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

First one I have ever seen, but he didn't look full grown to me, maybe 90lbs... My thought was probably a young male looking for a territory, but I'm not an expert... Great job by the dogs though, they had him treed for over an hour, I finally went out to see what they were barking at, and when I saw them under the tree I figured it was either a cougar or a porcupine. I took them in and he chilled up there for about 20 minutes, finally jumped to the ground from about 15' up and disappeared.

Even a 90 lb lion could destroy almost any dog, good thing he was more scared of them.

Very cool. I've still yet to see one in the wild, even though they are apparently all over the place here as you get into the foothills.

I use to see them a lot when we lived in the Santa Cruz Mtns in CA.  pretty common there.  Haven't seen one in WA yet

They are pretty formidable beasts... The one on the left is 1/2 Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees and weighs about 140lbs, the one sitting up is a Great Pyrenees and is about 120lbs.

You merely adopted the night. I was born in it, molded by it.

Unexpectedly strong marine layer today, not that I even anticipated one to begin with. High temps across all guidance down 5-10°F relative to runs 24hrs ago.

I’ve said it before, the lack of low level moisture played a big part in the absence of the marine layer over this last decade. Now that we’ve had a very wet Spring and we’re transitioning into the true warm season with moderating temps aloft, the layer has incepted itself with a vengeance. That and the colder waters offshore.

Got down to 41°F at KSEA last night and now back up to the low 50s. We’ll see how long this marine layer lasts…

ECMWF showed low cloud cover for a good part of today for many runs... looks like leftover moisture from the recent system.    But the ECMWF does not show much in the way of solid low clouds for the next few days.    You might be jumping the gun to assume this is just the way it will be now.

I might be relying too much on a certain someone's ice age prophecy... ;)

First one I have ever seen, but he didn't look full grown to me, maybe 90lbs... My thought was probably a young male looking for a territory, but I'm not an expert... Great job by the dogs though, they had him treed for over an hour, I finally went out to see what they were barking at, and when I saw them under the tree I figured it was either a cougar or a porcupine.

Yes great job dogs!! Last spring my driveway alarm started going off at 2am so I got up and looks out the kitchen window and saw a cougar walking down my driveway, then another, then another, and one more!! All in a row! So I did some research and apparently the cubs will stay with mom for up to two years! They all looked fully grown. I so so SO kicked myself for not grabbing my phone as I went out to the kitchen so I could have grabbed pics or video. Figured it was just deer grazing setting off the alarm but usually always get up and check just to make sure it’s nothing human related. It was the most awesome thing I have seen but also I do think twice now when walking through my woods and I always have the dogs out in the backyard when the kids are out playing.

It was. Thought I was dreaming at first but after I saw that I couldn’t go back to sleep as I was excited to tell everyone in the morning of what I saw lol! Seeing the bear crossing the street the other day by my mailbox was also exciting but not compared to seeing the cougars.

Good protection dogs.  A friend of mine has a rather large family and has tried to be as self sufficient as possible with an assortment of farm animals (chickens, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, etc) on 5 acres out in the county.  He had a Pyrenees before, and has a Pyrenees mix now.  The current dog is only about a year old but he is quite large.  My friend said he went with this breed/mix to protect his family, flocks and herds.  He mainly has to deal with coyotes, but every once in a while a cougar will find its way into his general area.

Wow I’m not acclimated to warmth at all right now. An 88/73 afternoon would be tolerable by “dog day” standards, but I was pouring sweat today.

Good protection dogs.  A friend of mine has a rather large family and has tried to be as self sufficient as possible with an assortment of farm animals (chickens, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, etc) on 5 acres out in the county.  He had a Pyrenees before, and has a Pyrenees mix now.  The current dog is only about a year old but he is quite large.  My friend said he went with this breed/mix to protect his family, flocks and herds.  He mainly has to deal with coyotes, but every once in a while a cougar will find its way into his general area.

They will destroy coyotes. Now that I have two coyotes mostly stay away. When we had our old Pyrenees/Collie mix, she was a little smaller around 90lbs, but killed a couple of coyotes during her run.

The low to mid level flow will
generally be out of the north, but there may be just enough
north-northeasterly flow to allow a storm or two to try and push into
the east Portland/Vancouver metro between 4-8 pm Saturday. /Neuman

I hope a storm somehow makes it to the west Portland metro area. That seems unlikely, but I can hope! The east metro gets all of the fun lol.

Looks like the Tonga eruption has been estimated at VEI 6. Largest since at least Pinatubo. Also produced the loudest sound on Earth since Krakatoa.

Wish it would have even a tiny cooling effect. At least it might help the PV be really amplified again, dropping the Arctic hammer on us repeatedly.
