Friday, December 20, 2013 7:43 a.m. Where’s the glacier? We got significantly less snow than forecast. I’m actually super proud of myself… I called this before several others, including but not limited to Cliff Mass and the Seattle NWS. That takes skill! (and a fair amount of luck) As evidence, here was my Facebook status […]
Snow in Plain Sight
Friday, May 3, 2013 8:24 A.M. The last couple days have been pretty darn nice around the Pacific Northwest, but if you are a fan of the weather now, just wait until the weekend. Highs are expected to top 80 Sunday and Monday here in Seattle, and it will be even hotter near the Cascades. […]

Never Too Late To Snow
Monday, April 29, 2013 10:52 P.M. First off, let my apologize for my lack of punctuality when it comes to posting these blogs as of late. I’ve been very busy recording an album for a funk band I am in, and I have had a string of seizures to boot. Thankfully, the album is almost […]
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 […]
Sequim: Is It Really That Sunny?
Friday, October 19, 2012 11:03 A.M. Happy Friday everyone!!! Everybody talks about the Sequim rain shadow is the driest place in Western Washington, and for good reason. It is. They only get around 16 inches of rain each year, as they are northeast of the Olympics, and since the winter flow is generally from the […]
Late-Season Snow
Wednesday, February 29, 2012 1:01 P.M. Now, I know this isn’t the most glamorous picture, but take a look at how snowy it is up there at Alpental! The mountains ave seen a TON of snow recently, and this trend looks to continue into the foreseeable future. Why so much snow? The answer, my friends, is […]
Ice Storm Warning
Thursday, January 19, 2012 11:06 A.M. As if snow wasn’t bad enough… After the major snowstorm yesterday, another storm was forecast, but precipitation was only supposed to make it to Olympia. The models turned out being wrong with this storm, and precipitation is located all the way to the eastern entrance to the Strait of […]
I’m Losing Sleep…
Monday, January 16, 2012 1:03 P.M. I’ve tried to be as objective as possible with these forecasts, because while Seattle freaks out over the “s” word, it needs to be made clear to the public that there are drastically different types of snow events in Washington and not all of them are serious. Now, it […]
The Spiel on Snow After the Spiel on Snow
Sunday, January 15, 2012 9:47 P.M. I gave a schpeal on snow this morning, and now it’s time I give another one. Many places around Seattle saw significant accumulations today while other places saw very little snow. My brother reports that my house down by Lake Washington between the floating bridges got 4 inches today, but […]
