Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.

I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight. The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d

Just had a very intense snow shower move through. Looks like it's wrapping up, but it ended up dropping about 0.5" with some truly massive snowflakes up over 2" in diameter. It was hard to measure dep

The most likely outcome is an ECMWF / GFS blend.  The ECMWF has been so aggressive with the cold it keeps the moisture way south of us.  We're at least in the running with this.

The last time that happened was with the 1/13 system.    Not much of a blend though.   GFS was just waaaaaay too far north with precip originally.

Property next to ours is for sale. Nearly 7 acres and buildable. Asking $399,000.

400k for 7 acres? Wtf. 

 

Idk the market too well in your area, but that sounds disgustingly expensive. Before I upgraded to my current home in sunriver, I had a 6 acre property in La Pine, which was only 190k, and it had great views too! That 7 acre property better have the best views in the whole D**n area if it's that expensive.

The fact the icon is showing that much snow for Puget sound is crazy. That model NEVER shows snow. The icon takes that low on a very favorable track. I'm interested now.

It has been very generous at times this year.  It showed PDX getting over a foot in the lead up to the January cold snap

Filtered sun and chilly up here, but should be a nice day

I just arrived home.  It was awesome.  Enjoyed some great food at the Black Cat Cafe.  Fairhaven is a wonderful area.

Started phase 1 of redoing a portion of the front landscaping that I have done little with since buying the place 6 years ago. Was a nice day for it! Still a long ways to go but it’s a start. Wanted to thin things out a bit, also take out that rotting downed tree that was once part of the landscaping, then bark everything. Got some of the thinning out of the way today.

For sure.   And what has happened to native Hawaiians in terms of being priced out of their home land is really sad.    It seems fairly obvious who is taking advantage of the situation. 

My wife just read a report about the fatalities in the recent catastrophic fires in Hawaii.  They noted that the majority of the fatalities were in a neighborhood occupied by locals/natives.  Because of the outrageous property values, people resorted to building "illegal additions" to the existing homes, and often had multi-generational homes.  Between the poorly constructed additions and the fact that the population density was to high for the area, they were pretty much f*cked when those fires came ripping through.

We are not to that point here on the mainland, but it still bad.  My wife and I are quickly realizing that we are probably stuck in our current house until we reach a point where we are willing to move to a cheaper part of the country.  I've become addicted to the Facebook page "for the love of old houses"  It's amazing some of the old house/property setups you can get in places like Indiana and Ohio.  Problem is, you couldn't pay me to live in either of those states.

      April 2024 Observations and Discussion

      The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 64/34 there was 0.01” of rainfall and the sun was out 52% of the time. The average wind speed was 13.1MPH and the highest wind was 33 MPH out of the SE. For today the average H/L is 63/42 the record high of 85 was set in 1990 and the record low of 27 was set in 1928. The most rainfall of 1.90” was in 1956 the record snowfall was 0.2” in 2004. Last year the H/L was 64/29. Here in MBY I had 0.09” of rain since 7AM yesterday and the overnight low of 53 was around midnight. At the current time it is cloudy and 58 here.

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      For the early afternoon SRH is limited but CAPE is huge. The CAPE is probably overstated given entrainment, but this does certainly support large hail Later in the day the hodograph blows out as the LLJ kicks in. This looks more like a QLCS tornado threat as a presumably linear feature moves in.

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      We've got a moderate for severe from SPC and for rain from WPC: Some ML guidance shows the highest threat more towards my area like nadocast: But others like CSU is a bit further west: I'm inclined to think the biggest severe weather threat will be further west towards OKC. I expect to see several strong tornadoes and reports of very large hail. As the storms congeal we will get a wind/QLCS threat morphing into a heavy rain/flood threat overnight. I don't think we will get anything truly crazy, but a couple of inches wouldn't shock me.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Are you talking about the 8 weeks of July and August? Because it almost always rains in June and September with only a few exceptions. SEA averages .60 in July and .97 in August. So in order to have a rainfall every 2 weeks it would need just 2 each month. July and August in recent years has been an anomaly.
