December 2015 in the Pacific Northwest

[stuffradio]

I'm at 63 inches of rain so far this year. I'm supposed to get 12 inches within 10-14 days, so who knows if I will end up at normal before the end of the month.

Who said I dislike him?

Alright, that was poorly worded, but you have had a fascination with him that is usually from a negative perspective.

[seattleweatherguy]

Strongest winds from 5 to 8 still

It's been interesting to watch him go from someone who was very enthusiastic about cold/snow events to kind of a warmth loving old codger. I like giving him crap about it but it's all in good fun. He knows that.

 

As Dewey said, love of warmth tends to move in sync with receding/graying hairlines. Maybe someday I will succumb to the dark side too. :/

[ChilliwackBCwx]

+1 Jesse.

We have those t.v. weather personnel types up here in Vancouver, sun and warmth worshippers however there are a couple that are not biased one is or had worked for Environment Canada. Seems the female casters are the worst cold ruins their tan lines.

Got up to 62 at Astoria and Bellingham.

 

58 so far in Eugene.

A shot at 70!!

[Deweydog]

Gusting to 41 in Eugene, but of course they're paying an emotional price temperature-wise for it.

[TT-SEA]

42 at PDX.

If you can think 60s in the summer suck then I can think 60s in the winter suck!

[TT-SEA]

63 and partly sunny at the official Puyallup station with S10G23.

[Front Ranger]

Has it hit 60 anywhere yet?

[Deweydog]

If you can think 60s in the summer suck then I can think 60s in the winter suck!

Just like with Mark, you are a little delusional with this partisan BS.

 

Dynamic weather is fun to most weather enthusiasts. Fringe, I know...

[TT-SEA]

60 at Eatonville.

 

Hopefully PDX avoids this nightmare.    It will not count as a warm day unless it happens at PDX.   Nothing counts outside of PDX.

Unless it involves 60s and light showers in July!

 

That's picnic ruining stuff. Only a commie freak would like that.

[TT-SEA]

Why would Mark only like cold weather all year?     It seems that he likes interesting weather of all kinds.

 

Pretty extreme view to expect someone in his position to only like cold and hate warmth.

 

Actually pretty extreme for anyone to think like that... but whatever.

Lucky for us those days are becoming more and more infrequent, save for the occasional high cloud shocker here or there.

Only thing I've seen with Mark is that he's grown up. He used to clearly be a weenie at heart but sometimes having a family and such ends up trumping those tendencies. Weenies after all tend to be a little self-absorbed. You on the other hand found a way to do both. Kudos!

Lucky? What happened to your love of dynamics?

 

Going from highs in the 80s to the 60s over a 24 hour period in July should be just as fun as going from highs in the 40s to the 60s in December. Or are some dynamics more equal than others?

Thanks Matt!

[TT-SEA]

Matt... its VERY important to Jesse that you still only like cold and that you are not 'growing up' and finding balance in your life. Or worse yet... you find warm, dry weather actually preferable at times in your old age.

Please affirm that you still only love cold and wet so he will stop talking about it.

Apples and oranges. Not that it has much of a chance to realize this time around but generally speaking high wind events here require the air mass to mix adiabatically. If we end up 61 or 58 for high, who the **** cares? I like extreme weather. Aside from the wind related, 60 degree weather in December can suck it. I like seasonal extemes. Sorry to burst your antagonist bubble and that this post got a little too meteorological for you. Maybe Mark can explain it for you, tehehehe!

60-degree weather in December is usually accompanied by a fire hose of snowpack destroying rain... that can suck it indeed.

Good lord...

Good lord...

You'll be fine. It may still be Jesse against the wrong rest of the world, but we'll welcome you with open arms when you're ready. It'll be like the end of Ghost, just without the pancreatic cancer later on.

Go crap a walgreens.

[Jesse]

Up to 57 in Eugene, 50 in Salem.

 

Those 70+ temps are rocketing our way!

58 in Salem.

58 in Salem.

 

This one hasn't updated yet I guess.

Regardless, time to bust out the pineapple juice and rum!

[TT-SEA]

Looks like disaster might have been averted down south!    

 

Easterly flow at the surface won out and protected them from warm air just aloft.

 

Thank God.   That changes the assessment of this entire winter!!  

[Jesse]

Up to an "almost-60" 56 at OLM and SEA.

[Deweydog]

It's almost as if Tim, Jesse, and Dewey (Matt?) want to outlast one another to see who can be the most sarcastic one of the group. Between temperature readings, Mark Nelson, and turds, I would have to say the award is a three-way-tie. Can we now move on from all this and focus back on the weather? It's not like there are any temperatures on the horizon to talk about or anything.....

That's better.

[Bryant]

I'd rather see an active winter out west than the focus on the east coast. When Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland see snow, then more people post. I love seeing the enthusiasm for the active pattern and the appearance of Fisherman Gordan.

 

Now if someone would bring back Andy, that'd be great.

You can find him posting daily on the FB groups!

[Deweydog]

Thanks Jesse! I knew I could count on you! Hey, this exceedingly-annoying sarcastic thing is fun. Maybe I should start making a run for the award too?

I'll send you the paperwork.

[MossMan]

I sure hope someday we experience a January 1950 type event...it would most definitely bring everyone together on this forum.

Anyway it's currently fairly mild, dry, breezy, with a hint of sunshine. I have a plane full of rescue dogs landing at 5:30 at Paine Field in Everett..that should be interesting offload during the peak of the windstorm.

[Weather101]

I'll send you the paperwork.

Can I join too ?

60s is just plain comfortable weather. Boring, regardless of season.

 

Uncomfortable weather is what revs my weenie engine!

I found him in Woodinville.
