December 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Deweydog]

Same cast of characters every winter.

Same holidays too.

 

MLK Day is right around the corner!

[MossMan]

Legally it's a small lot, just a little over an acre, but behind me is all open forest land not zoned and a wildlife protected zone.

Going to look awesome with snowcover!

[Andrew.]

Is that plastic grass?

Hahaha yup fake grass, its turf with a drainage system under it for the retaining wall.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Hahaha yup fake grass, its turf with a drainage system under it for the retaining wall.

 

My friend wanted to get that but for some reason his wife wouldn't let him. Looks good.

[Blizzard777]

I got it!

 

Good advice, I've only been to Crown Point once. Next time they are in the thick of it I'll head up there. I still do really want a S. windstorm though, simply because of the warm air, the lowering pressure, the high sustained winds across the metro area.

 

Crown point will sustain your wind needs! Rock your car violently, blur your vision from eyes watering , make it hard to breath and cause adrenaline rush

[Deweydog]

Smart.

[Andrew.]

At first I didnt like it, i love real grass. But zero maintenance and always looks good regardless of the time of year. Plus the drainage system is an added bonus too. The deer get real confused on it haha.

[Blizzard777]

First winter up here on the hill and loving the changing scenery, would be better with snow, but the green is invading the forest right now.

Those are some very nice RaCkS!

[Andrew.]

My deer neighbors

 

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Smart.

fake grass grows in north bend the spring there is so powerful.

[Requiem]

HRRR increased wind gusts for Seattle, lowered them Centralia southward.

Crown Point dude. Get over it already.

[Requiem]

Crown Point dude. Get over it already.

 

I told you, I want a south windstorm sometime. Yes, Crown Point is great (when we are in a pattern for strong east winds), but we aren't in that pattern right now. It's like telling a snow lover to go to the mountains- some people enjoy snow in the lowlands (I enjoy wind in the lowlands). But I am taking your advice, and I'll go as soon as an E. Wind event of any sort arrives.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Crown Point dude. Get over it already.

What should he get over? He is a wind enthusiast. That's like telling me to go to the top of Mt Raineer and get over my snow addiction.

[TT-SEA]

Weak.  

 

And you went the wrong way with the joke... better to say we need that grass here because the weather is terrible for most of the spring and early summer.  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Tomorrow's low is stronger on the 00z.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Tomorrow's low is stronger on the 00z.

 

I'm dreaming of a mega blast.

[seattleweatherguy]

Tomorrow's low is stronger on the 00z.

For seattle metro if so how much stronger?

[Deweydog]

I'm dreaming of a mega blast.

It’s not dreaming of you.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

For seattle metro if so how much stronger?

Roughly 5-8 mb stronger than previous model runs and more of a central Vancouver island landfall compared to northern in other runs.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Be nice to see some 150mph gusts to brighten the holiday spirit.

[Blizzard777]

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Lots of nice warm rain over the weekend.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

documentation before

Gut feeling only. But this storm might be pretty powerful.

[MossMan]

Gut feeling only. But this storm might be pretty powerful.

If I had hatches I would be battening them down right now.

[Requiem]

If I had hatches I would be battening them down right now.

 

I'll batten them down too!

[Blizzard777]

Gut feeling only. But this storm might be pretty powerful.

I’m having the same feeling

Storm may take me into my uncomfortable zone with the fir trees!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Mm5 shows plenty of 50 to 55knot winds over most of puget sound.

[Blizzard777]

I’ve hired a couple people to periodically throw debris past my windows for added dramatics

[seattleweatherguy]

Mm5 shows plenty of 50 to 55knot winds over most of puget sound.

Woah that's eqv to 60 to 65?

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Woah that's eqv to 60 to 65?

Yes. 55 knot is 63mph.

[BLI snowman]

Nice, mild 00z.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

00z SUCKS

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nice, mild 00z.

 

We seem on track for a 91-92 redux. If there was a worse winter we might be on track for that one too...

[Requiem]

Wow, this actually might be my dream storm according to the MM5. And it hits during the day, can't get better than that.

1925-26.

[MossMan]

Forks for everybody this Christmas! Thanks Santa!!

[Deweydog]

Make it forks and cyanide pills and you’ve got a deal!

[Blizzard777]

PAC MAN is in my neighbor

[Requiem]

PAC MAN is in my neighbor

 

That wind gauge sure won't be zero tomorrow! Pac-Man might just get blown away, sadly.
