Front Ranger Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I know EXACTLY that feeling. When we still lived in Bellingham, we had owned this house just more than a year. Not fully furnished yet, just a weekend home for us until we moved. One December weekend, the forecast was for heavy snow on Saturday, which is one of the lighting weekends with huge crowds, Christmas music, etc. So I just had to go by myself, as my wife worked (she is a nurse). But she did understand. I think we got about 15 inches that day and night. A great experience. My wife also understand my Seahawk fandom, and tries to enjoy it with me. Occasionally she will step in front of the TV during a big play, but she knows better than that now. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 And I know not to step in front of the TV during a Hallmark Christmas movie! We have a laugh about it, she will sometimes watch a game with me, and complain that the Seahawks don't win games easily. Always coming down to the last few minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife complains that Carson isn't good enough to run it as much as the Seahawks do. She also doesn't understand why I am always making fun of Hallmark movies.

Good thing I don’t talk weather much with her, it would be much of the same negativity and it would really irritate the heck out of her. 1 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.

Art_Digbee Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Awesome to have someone from the islands! You guys would have loved my former neighbor John Willis. He had some notoriety in the weather world for maintaining the family records at Olga since the 1890s. We used to sit and chat for hours about the Fraser winds and some big snow dumps. I wish I would have recorded those conversations. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art_Digbee Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I remember reading about him. Some of that data has been used in lieu of coop data in some projects.Yeah, he was very proud of that too. Scott Sistek did a write-up on him and then reposted it again this summer after John passed.He was Uncle John to the entire island and is deeply missed.I just by chance bought my property from him and lucked into having him as a neighbor and friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Jones Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Super mild out right now, 57 at PDX.

Sounds like they have had some crazy winter storms there! I went to orcas on March 5th this year after the crazy snows of this February. Elevation at the top of Mt.Constitution is 2400' for those who dont know about orcas island... there was still 2-3' of snow at the top when I was there. It was really awesome.

Moran State Park lost numerous trees, many over the only road, and cut off one end of the island from the other for a good while. The power was out for a few days. Good storm.I love active weather so this place (and the PNW in general) is a good place for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
