Tuesday, January 19, 2016 1:42 pm Average precipitation anomalies from El Niño events. Credit: NOAA For winter-weather lovers and skiers in the Pacific Northwest, an El Niño forecast sounds like a death sentence. Such a forecast conjures up visions of no major windstorms, hardly any lowland snow, below-average snow in the mountains, and a “death […]
Sunday Surprise!
Sunday, April 7, 2013 1:03 P.M. 01:24 am PDT Sun 07 Apr 2013 – Langley Hill Radar Last night, a surprisingly powerful storm rolled through the area. It’s a shame that the brunt of it came while most people were sleeping, as I’m always down to watch a good storm, but I can get a […]
Storm Update
Saturday, September 17, 2011 7:30 P.M. It looks as if the rain has spread in much earlier than I anticipated, so I am shifting rain totals higher amounts (up to a half inch in the lowlands) and am expecting the rain to stop and shift to showers Sunday morning. I guess the model I looked […]
Yes, I failed!!!
Monday, November 22, 2010 6:22 P.M. WOOHOO!!! I can’t believe this is happening. Winter storm warning and 2 inches of snow and counting! The models predicted zip. Cliff Mass predicted zip.

I say some flurries but no accumulation. It was pretty though. Let’s discuss snow probabilities. I read Cliff Mass’ blog the other night and […]

Quick Update – Winds not looking as strong
November 16, 2009 8:41 P.M. I didn’t blurt it out yesterday (maybe I should have), but I was a little skeptical about the forecast when they called for a major windstorm in the Puget Sound region. First of all, the models were not locking on any one situation. Second, there looked to be another low […]
