Monday, January 7, 2013 10:13 A.M. It’s refreshing to finally have another decent storm roll through the area. As I have stated many times on this blog, I vehemently dislike boring winter weather. Today’s the first day of winter quarter at the UW, and weather-wise, it’s off to a stellar start. We’ll see about otherwise… […]
An Update!
Sunday, December 16, 2012 2:40 P.M. Hi everybody! It’s great to be back! I survived finals, although I sustained some serious injuries during the battle. Oh well, I’ll recover from them soon enough. We’ve got a lot to talk about. First off, we have a fairly large storm swinging through our area tonight. Take a […]
Watching the Satellite
Monday, December 3, 2012 10:36 A.M. 10:00 am PST Mon 03 Dec 2012 – UW West Coast 4km water vapor satellite Good morning everybody, I hope you are all having a nice first week of December. It was pretty rainy last night, but we’ll be heading into some calmer weather soon. However, we’ve got a […]
Little Storms
Monday, November 26, 2012 1:37 P.M. I was looking at the models this afternoon, and I noticed that there are a lot of little storms slated to hit our area later this week into next week. None of these storms look particularly strong. In some ways, they look kind of cute… in a nerdy meteorological […]
A Nor’easter for the Northeast
Monday, November 5, 2012 2:39 P.M. Let me first start out by saying that this storm will be nowhere near as strong as Sandy. I was looking at some of the statistics from Sandy… 185 fatalities and at least 52.4 billion dollars in damage (the second costliest hurricane in the history of the U.S.), and […]
A Well-Defined Front
Thursday, October 18, 2012 6:52 P.M. I just got done with a physics midterm, my first midterm of the autumn 2012 quarter! It went decently well, although there was one question involving a inclined plane, two weighted objects, tension, kinetic friction, and a whole bunch of gnarly stuff where I was supposed to find the […]
Terrible Tempest the Twelfth
October 12, 2012 4:18 P.M. As promised, I’ll give you guys a brief overview of the Columbus Day Storm of 1962 since it has been 50 years since it happened. Unfortunately, I had a seizure before the presentation and was still in the ER when the presentation started. Trust me, I tried to convince those […]
Light at the End of the Tunnel!
Monday, April 2, 2012 10:46 A.M. So, my post yesterday was an April Fool’s prank. You gotta admit though, it was pretty good. Anyway, looking over the models this morning, it appears as though some warmer weather will soon be affecting us in the Pacific Northwest. Take a look at the latest model extraction from […]
Cut-Off Low
Tuesday, November 8, 2011 12:48 P.M Cut-off low over the central U.S. – September 27, 2011 In the coming days, we will see a rather interesting weather event take place far out at sea over the Eastern Pacific. Currently, there is a gigantic trough around 150 degrees west over the Pacific, and this trough is […]
Storm!
Monday, October 10, 2011 9:34 A.M. Don’t you just love these National Weather Service graphics? It’s hard to find one single graphic that has so many explanations and a model picture, but the NWS issues them when there is some sort of significant weather occurring. Pretty awesome!!! Over the next few days, we will get […]
