Front Ranger Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I agree, it was a boneheaded and inaccurate attempt at describing Tim's behavior. Better luck next time. You're right.

Phil Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I give him plenty of credit too. But he is constantly trolling me... so sometimes I poke back.That’s fair. There’s a lot you can troll me over. Humidity phobias. Stampede Pass. Western MD. Fake identity. Endless material, really. My long range forecasting was always done with good intentions here, however, and it’s the one area where I’m so geeked out that I used to literally spend weekends reading published literature while my friends were out clubbing in DC. No joke. So why you troll me with fake forecasts that I never made is beyond me.

TacomaWaWx Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 -A paragraph from tonight’s Nws Seattle disc. Explaining timing of tomorrow’s system. A vigorous frontal system will spread another round of rainandwind into the area on Saturday. The coast and north interior willhave windy conditions initially. Puget Sound and the Strait willget a good shot of wind later in the day once the low trackingoff the coast shifts north and gradients turn onshore. Windadvisories are in effect. Combined seas could reach 20 feet at thecoast for a few hours Saturday afternoon and evening for somepossible high surf conditions. 1 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 And you troll me with stupid things that I have never said or even thought. That is the nature of trolling.Eh, not quite, since the topics of my trolling (re: you) are always based on your *actual* quirks. IE: Rain, clouds, and temperature peculiarities. I’ve never called for an instant crash into an ice age or anything like that. Not even close. I was talking centuries to millennia. You could argue I’ve made some bad forecasts in the past (like summer 2017 or winter 2012), but it wasn’t intentional or attention seeking. I just messed up. It happens.

Jesse Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Right? It's two kinds of boring and two kinds of interesting. Turpan's Feb-April turnaround is incredible. Yeah. I have to wonder if their cold in the winter is mostly inversion based or actual spillover from the deep cold that dominates inner Mongolia and points north. For climates like the Aukland Islands (which I also find strangely fascinating) check out the Faroe Islands north of Scotland, and Unalaska Island in the Aleutians. I might actually take Unalaska since its similar to the others but its winters are a touch colder with more snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might actually take Unalaska since its similar to the others but its winters are a touch colder with more snow.I'd guess it's spillover, based on the record lows being so much lower than the averages. But maybe a combination of both. Unalaska is not bad, actually! At least, it's not bad compared to this monstrosity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_Island,_New_Zealand#Climate A record temperature spread of 18F-70F, plus it's only sunny about 15% of the time D: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I've seen that map before! It's hard to tell much from it, since the categories are chosen based on the highest frequency of lightning for the whole country, if only there were a map where the highest is 1 stroke/km^2 and then there were ten or so categories. Hmm.I’m pretty sure the tstorm frequency drops off as you travel north in western Washington. I know the Canadian forum always jokes about the border force field killing thunderstorms during summer convection episodes. Southern Vancouver Island sees even less frequent thunderstorms than The Vancouver area 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Crazy in Tukwila/Burien today where a car struck a power pole fell and ultimately caused multiple other poles (14 total) to fell with it in a domino effect. 1 fell onto a car and trapped 2 people and somehow they miraculously survived.

TacomaWaWx Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Sounds like trying times for them, especially for any trees that are starting to sprout spring leaves. wind gusts of 30 yesterday took off many of the cherry blossoms of the trees in my area. I’m hoping that the wind doesn’t get too bad and screw up more stuff today, but I fear it might. I also hope that the 70mph reading in Victoria doesn’t equate to the storm being stronger than anticipated.
