January 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Blizzard777]

60+ gusts make their way into the south sound by 2am. This would bust the "barely an ant fart of a breeze will grace my Bonney Lake property" forecast.

 

Ouch again

 

Gusty outside here on the NW side of Bull Mountain in Tigard....I’m thinking around 35 mph. No flickering lights ....and as I write that light flickering.

Are you happy now, got the "wind bug" out of your system?

This is really awesome, I’m enjoying it but these winds are seriously intense, The EURO did AMAZINGLY with this storm.

After one good drink I usually want another

[Deweydog]

Breezy!

[MossMan]

Breezy!

Dead calm.

[Omegaraptor]

Whoooooooosh!

 

...followed by the sound of wind chimes. Sounds nice in bed.

Just had my strongest gust of the night. Could hear either some large branches or maybe a tree coming down somewhere on the property.

34,534 without power in the PDX metro area now

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Calm with some light rain.  Looks like the power outage at SUB and Gateway was not as big of a deal as thought and power is back on for all of Lane County.  Not much to write home about here.  Still no snow/cold, floods, or windstorms to affect the s valley. We remain behind the pace of all of the other lousy years.

Oooof

36 mph so far at my place...I'm a little protected.  Power flickering and the roar outside is pretty insane. 

[Requiem]

Winds are absolutely roaring.

It’s “””winter””” 2018-19 and Washington County is getting interesting weather. What’s going on?

[Deweydog]

Pretty much half of Vancouver is lights out.

add another 13,000 from across the river in Vancouver without power now too, nearing 50,000 now

Winds are supppsed to gust like this/bit stronger until 2 am. Lots of power outages, perhaps, and the real strong winds are just hitting Vancouver.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Calm as can be here.Times like this i like to think how it must of been 100 years ago not knowing that a big wind storm was 3 hrs away.

Have you looked outside or went out there?

What a surprise when I woke up on the Oregon Coast on April 7, 2017. I hadn’t been paying attention to forecasts and I wasn’t a weather enthusiast back then.

Going to step out in a few minutes.

This definitely looks like a Salem-north event.  Glad some folks were finally able to get some interesting weather up there.

This storm reminds me of that one. Sudden uptick in winds, high gusts like this.

That’s not so happy

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

There was NOTHING like waking up as a child and looking out the window and seeing snow. That surprised ended at age 8 when i started listing to noaa weather radio in about 1980.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Which one of you was this?

 

It was QAnon.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Mt hebo. 79mph

[Jbolin]

Which one of you was this?

I have my suspicions 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Still gusting strong out here! Rain starting to pick up more.

[Timmy]

Ill-timed storm. I’m trying to sleep! Power flickered 10 mins ago. Surprised it came back on.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

29.10 here on the pressure.

[Andrew.]

Almost 80,000 without power now between Vancouver and PDX

[umadbro]

Greatest windstorm since 2006.

 

Not that high of a bar.

[MossMan]

Breeze picking up here now with light rain falling. 44.

Really? Beating even 12/11/14?

“Great” and “windstorm” don’t belong in the same sentence. A couple weather weirdos get off and the rest of us have to stay up passed their bedtime and pick up limbs in the morning...

Yeah, to you they don’t, but to some of us they do. You don’t have to stay up past your bedtime if you don’t want to, you make it sound like someone is forcing you to do so.
