Thursday, December 19, 2013 8:32 p.m. OK, so when I saw the latest model run, I absolutely jumped for joy. Why? Because the newest WRF-GFS model run upped the forecast snow amounts. At first, this model gave us a lot of snow, but then it sharply pulled back. Now, it’s trending whiter again. Let’s take a […]
Snow Update
Wednesday, December 18, 2013 11:26 a.m. I was pretty happy when I saw the UW’s WRF-GFS model this morning. http://replygif.net/941 I wasn’t quite stunned. If that was the case, this would be my reaction. http://www.reddit.com/r/pictureswithspongebob But hey, I’ll take what I can get. This run was an improvement over yesterday’s runs. I’m still a little […]
Snow on Friday and Another LAWES Scale Revision
Tuesday, December 12, 2013 11:13 a.m. I’m back! Sorry it’s been so long. The end of the quarter was quite stressful. Heck, I had a seizure on the night of my final. That sure threw a wrench in my studying/sleeping plans. But, I survived, and that’s what really matters. Food. Water. Shelter. Survival. And when […]
The Spiel on Snow
Sunday, January 15, 2011 10:02 A.M. I-5 by Northgate, Washington on Sunday morning – KOMO News First off, I’d like to apologize for not posting a blog update yesterday. I was doing tons of math homework and review, because after jumping into Calculus 125 at the University of Washington, I’ve discovered that I have a […]
Revised LAWES Scale
Friday, January 13, 2012 3:11 P.M. Don’t judge me… this is the most relevant picture I could find. I first invented my LAWES scale in November of 2010. It has been hailed as one of the most innovative weather scales of the 21st century by the followers of this blog ever since, but I have […]
LAWES 2.1
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 11:14 A.M. I don’t have too much time here, but I thought I’d give you an update on the forecast for this weekend and beyond. It seems as though most forecasters are much more conservative as far as snow goes. In fact, here’s what the KOMO forecast had to say this […]
Charlie Phillips’ LAWES (Likelihood of an Arctic Weather Episode with Snow) scale
November 11, 2010 9:09 P.M. Making an acronym that sounds like an actual word (aka: not MOFACASOSWWWW – Major Outbreak of Frigrid Air, Copious Amounts of Snow or Other Severe Winter Weather in Western Washington) actually took me a really long time. And I’m sorry I haven’t been updating this, the weather has been boring and […]
