Friday, August 28, 2015 11:36 pm Most of our wildfires are actually started by lightning, but that doesn’t mean you can have a tannerite party during a red flag warning., Hey everybody! I’m finally back from summer camp, and while I had an amazing time there, I am very excited to sleep in my own […]
Snow Returns To The Mountains
Monday, February 23, 2015 11:50 p.m. When I was walking home from school today, I stopped at a viewpoint right above my house to take a quick glance at the Cascades, curious to see how white they where. I knew how atrocious this winter had been in the snow department, so I wasn’t very optimistic, […]
Here Comes The Rain
Tuesday, August 26, 2014 7:30 p.m. Here comes the sun… not. Although you wouldn’t know it, we are actually well above average for rainfall this month (and, come to think of it last month was above average in the rainfall department as well). This is due to Sea-Tac accumulating 0.50 inches of rain on the […]
It’s Been Eons!
Friday, January 10, 2014 7:42 p.m. Triceratops vs Tyrannosaurus rex. This makes Holyfield vs. Tyson look like a game of Kidz Bop. I wonder who got their ear bitten off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur It’s been eons. Well, OK, maybe we still have the same continents now as we did when it last rained, but it’s been at least […]
Farewell, Mister Summer
Tuesday, September 17, 2013 5:26 p.m. The last (days of) summer. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Picture URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_Ultima_cena_-_ca_1975.jpg From an astronomical, meteorological, and metaphorical point-of-view, His last meal is Friday night. Granted, Summer isn’t quite emanating brilliance like Mr. Christ in Leo’s little sketch, but just like Christ, He doesn’t have that much longer to live. I’ll […]

A Change for the Cooler
Monday, May 20, 2013 ~11:00 A.M. It’s no surprise that the first half of May has been extraordinarily warm. I came across a funny picture and caption circulating around the internet; it is in the same format as a meme you’d find on Reddit, but the picture used has not widely been used. At least […]
A Welcome Change
Monday, May 13, 2013 12:18 P.M. I’m a huge fan of streaks, particularly of sports and weather streaks. Whether it’s Brett Favre’s streak of 321 consecutive games started or Seattle’s recent streak of 48 dry days this past summer. Speaking of that dry streak we had, I was super frustrated when I learned that 0.01 […]
A Taste of Summer
Saturday, April 20, 2013 12:28 A.M. Long Beach, California – Taken April 3, 2013 using a Nikon D3000. Photo credit: Michael Trofimov. Hey everybody. Sorry for leaving you guys hanging for a couple days, midterms called. I think I had a false sense of this quarter being easy just because I have relatively more time […]
Rain
Thursday, April 4, 2013 2:29 P.M. UW Atmospheric Sciences Composite Northwest Radar Loop: Valid 2:24 P.M. 4/4/2013 “Hey buddy! It’s been awhile! How are you? What have you been up to lately? Do you and the jet stream still have that thing, or are you cut off from her lovely geostrophic flow?” That’s what I […]
Storms!
Friday, November 16, 2012 8:50 A.M. I’m happy. You know why I’m happy? Because we will finally see a string of strong storms that will streak from ocean to peak through next week. Now that was clever. Let’s look at the timeline for our storms. Our first storm comes in on Saturday morning. This one […]
