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

Interesting loop from the 18Z ECMWF... running 24-hour snow totals through Monday morning.   Look at the Sierras!

Radar looks incredibly promising for this area.  Already seeing plenty of snow mixed in.

Moisture looks like it is getting ate up by some drying or something.

Idk, must be down slope drying from Olympics.  There will be a huge shower rolling towards me and poof it just fizzles.

The HRRR has proved to be worthless. Now time to just watch radar. 

For once, there is almost as much precip available as the HRRR has shown, the willamette valley got hammered today. I'd say Salem could get a lot of snow if it gets cold enough, maybe not 11" but quite a bit. Might be too warm though.

Moisture is rotating in but being pulled to the NW as it moves around the trough.   So it looks healthy coming into our area but then sort of fades.   Models show this generally continuing for the next couple days.   There is a solid wave that moves through early tomorrow afternoon but that will probably be wasted during daylight hours.  Another one comes in tomorrow night but it appears to split as it approaches.

Showers are having no problem holding together as they push into the valley. If anything they get stronger as they move across. Could be an interesting night.

Temperature is going to be the bigger issue tonight/tomorrow morning. Been getting plenty of rain over the last 4 hours.

Radar does look promising for hills around Puget Sound. Probably a mix below 300 feet with stickage staying above about 500 feet though. 36 here now.

      Very true. The crazy thing is that as an American, I have seen my vacation time actually DECREASE since being bought out by a French Company. The site I worked at got closed and folks got absorbed into another division, and in the process my almost 6 weeks of PTO (I worked there 18 years) with a 6.5 week cap, got cut down to 4.5 weeks. The biggest thing I would love to see (not necessarily a French thing) would be a 4 day work week. My previous tenure at the company, I was salary and working with a Japanese customer. Since our Friday was their Saturday, we usually cut out about 1-2pm on Fridays. I worked briefly for a refinery services company and they did the same thing, working 9-ish hour days Monday through Thursday, then on Friday we would check in for a few hours in the morning then the rest of the day was ours. My current role, everything happens at 5pm on Friday.
