50shadesofvan Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Everyone. Here is a place where we can discuss the latest weather blogs from our favourite Pacific Northwest meteorologists. We can also create a big aggregate list of our favourite blog sources, so chime in if you find a worthy, undiscovered weather blogger. Cliff Mass' Latest post showed a beautiful NAEFS Diagram for a prediction of the Super Bowl. Great informative post about ensemble forecasting highlighting just how far we can accurately predict weather.

OldManWx Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Mark Nelsen's blog (TV guy in Portland). IMO he spends too much time writing about the Columbia Gorge. Hardly anyone lives out there. http://fox12weather.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deweydog Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Mark Nelsen's blog (TV guy in Portland). IMO he spends too much time writing about the Columbia Gorge. Hardly anyone lives out there. http://fox12weather.wordpress.com/ In his defense, the primary points of discussion lately have been all gorge gradient-related.

Gradient Keeper Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 In his defense, the primary points of discussion lately have been all gorge gradient-related. Yeah, and it's not like there has been anything else to discuss. Too bad Mark doesn't hold a candle to the one and only Scott Sistek.I disagree completely.

TheBigOne Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I migrated from over there be Latest post by Mark Nelsen: http://fox12weather.wordpress.com/ Latest 50 Shades post: http://50shadesofvan.com/blog/2014/1/30/a-toast-to-a-fresh-month I evacuated the blog because unless the weather is extreme only the same users over and over again joke about the weather models and rarely have any lengthly discussions that have meat to them and love to find fault with each other if someone doesn't understand another's post. I loved reading certain users posts who kept getting made fun of sadly as I learned a LOT about the weather from them and educated my parents on that matter. One particular user I adore is named Weather Dan once in a while posted neat information for Salem Oregon which I LOVED to read but he didn't get the responses he deserved for his hard work, he lived in the area for 40 years and has seen a lot more then Mark Nelson in his 20 year career who focuses on a narrow band of viewers. It's like going to a resturant and only getting brunch instead of the main la carte, great if you want a quick snack but if you're hungry for detailed weather then it won't be filling enough. Sometimes it seems to also be an Ego playground for Mark and I feel negative energy just from being there. This place at least in the old forums had lots of discussion and I am starting to see new topics in the PNW thread thankfully, hopefully THESE forums start growing leaps and bounds but not too fast though or we will implode.Are there any other blogs that are good? Cliff Mass is very good and gets QUITE technical but he doesn't let guest posts unlike Mark so it's usually only the same users over and over again. Also Cliff Mass has no way for me to thank him for his wonderful posts. What about Komo 4's blog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
