westcoastexpat Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 There will no longer be any 12z soundings from Alaska, due to NOAA budget cuts. In other words, focus on 00z runs instead, in situations where there are waves or vorts or other energy in and around Alaska. It's a shame. Goes R was an (expensive) step forward but we have taken steps back by eliminating such a useful forecasting tool that cost very little in comparison to Goes R... Oh well.

Guest El nina Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 A 42/37 spread so far today. Yesterdays high was 55 so it was remarkably cooler today. Jesse is right, downsloping winds have definitely subsided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 We haven't had a "major" SSW event since January of 2013.

BLI snowman Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yeah, one of my coworkers parents live there and said it's the first time they've seen snow there in quite a few years. First measurable snow since January 2014. Austin and San Antonio's airports look to set a monthly record for December. They've gotten maybe an inch and their records are both 0.2", LOL.

Blizzard777 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I already had trouble falling asleep last night. East facing bedroom window with a line drive from the gorge for those winds. I miss the sound of the east wind eating my house at night when I lived in Troutdale, 24/7 ....seemed like for weeks sometimes. My top gust there was 73mph....took a few shingles as I remember.

Blizzard777 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I’m excited! UPS just brought my new weather machine. I had two other machines but they died a few years ago. I delayed in replacing them since the weather here in Federal Way just hasn’t been exciting. Last years weather sort of lit my motivation to get another machine. Now, to climb up on my frosty roof to instal the anemometer! Not! Jim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I wish I could justify spending the money on a snow blower Its gotten pretty ridiculous here in years past with shoveling. I have resisted because I do like shoveling to a certain degree and then we had a couple winters recently when a snowblower would have never been touched (barely touched a shovel) and did not seem like it was worth the money. My wife bought it on sale on Black Friday... it was a deal she could not pass up. I hope it pays off very soon!
