A couple of cell phone pics from today. Certainly not the epic views of Mt. Si, closer to this system to the south it was mainly overcast, windy and with some upslope fog. Things have since cleared a little bit. Patches of snow started around the 1,800' level.

 

It was certainly nice to get away from the city for a quiet hike though.

Cascades reflecting the setting sun...

That is a sight that will never get old and something I miss about living in the puget sound. Growing up, my family and I lived in a location situated perfectly to where the Olympics and Mt. Ranier were visible when it was clear. Olympics could be seen out one window, Mt. Ranier out the other...

In other words, the effects from this SSW event will almost solely result from “top down” style forcing (IE: the high latitude blocking will downwell from the upper atmosphere).

 

Which can take 2-4 weeks following the SSW, which just started a few days ago. So..gonna be a longer wait with this one.

January, here we come?

The 18z GFS jumped on board the wave-2/split train in a huge way. Really nukes the motherf**ker.

 

But again, given the reliance on top-down style dynamics with this event, it might take awhile for the effects to manifest in the troposphere.

Y’all are more than welcome to come up here and experience it first hand. I’ll make pasta.

Do you think the PNW could see an arctic blast with the SSW around mid January?

Funny how sometimes a inexpensive gift can steal the show. Bought my nephew some nice stuff but also a slinky. Guess what everyone wants to play with. The slinky!!

My daughter was famous for that when she was younger. Seemed like she was just f*cking with us.

 

Of course now she’s laser-focused on things with hefty price tags...

Any hope for some interesting weather in the next week or two? And by interesting I don't mean Tim-interesting.

      First of all, that article was about more than just the lunch issue - they're trying to pass laws to reduce workers' compensation when injured on the job and reducing unemployment. Second, how does telling people who work they don't need a lunch break being on the side of the worker, as you like to claim to be? The people who wanted the LA law changed were the rich fat cats you sh*t on in previous (and I'm sure future) posts. See what you say about Tim. See what you said about my aunt. You couldn't be more of a fraud if you tried.

      I'm not the one who constantly uses that phrase as if you're the spokesperson of every person who works. Aka a fraud, just like that senate candidate.

      Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasn’t forgotten where he came from. I understand you can’t relate to that. To you and other democrats “working people” is code for criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal immigrants. To the rest of us it means people who actually move this nation forward.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Cloud seeding is a form of public relations to say “at least we’re trying” to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isn’t going to do anything to a storm that is large enough to produce appreciable precipitation. It might cause a few sprinkles from a cumulus cloud that otherwise wouldn’t have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft — you are stealing the water from areas downstream of where you seeded. The ironic thing is that project Stormfury got axed in the late 60s after they seeded a hurricane and it happened to make a left turn to the Eastern seaboard shortly thereafter. It would be funny if this makes them think twice about seeding in the UAE, although it’s a bummer that they didn’t seed this storm (or at least they claim to have not seeded it LOL).
