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
Made it to just outside of Whistler. So many people just parked out on the side of the road. Way too many folks outside of Britannia Beach thinking that running across a highway after parking on a tiny shoulder is perfectly fine. Nearly got in an accident when a couple in a Honda just pulled out without their headlights.
Caught the lights as far south as Marysville and then dawn was bright enough to wipe them out.
Looking forward to tonight and given the state of the sun and the history of these storms, it'll be fun to see what we get over the next three months.
