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
12z GFS seems to be showing a less intense secondary warm spell, but it’s also backed off from the troughy pattern in the long range being shown on some runs yesterday. Seems the models are struggling with how to handle that period.
Snow definitely would’ve added to the fun, but overall the blast this January was pretty top tier in every other aspect. Who knows when we will actually see ice formations like this down on the Puget sound again. Might be decades before it happens again.
The conversations this morning in my PT session (can't help overhearing with 10 different sessions going at the same time in a big open room) would have made Jesse's head explode. I am not sure he could have made it through without bursting out and telling everyone they are wrong. Its a burden being superior to all other humans.
