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
The sound part has always fascinated me. Some people just a few miles away heard nothing while some 100+ miles away heard it like it was right next door.
Despite all my whining, today's been cool and damp all day, and KSEA avoided a 60 burger. Pretty hard to get in the back half of May, even harder in a convective environment like this. Not bad for a "whiff"
