Wednesday, November 30, 2011 1:01 P.M. Yeah, I know No-Shave November is completely unrelated to weather. However, the model runs this morning made me hesitant about shaving my patchy, warming layer of facial hair. Remember how I was talking about how areas east of us would see very cold air next week due to the […]
Seattle Snow?
Sunday, November 6, 2011 7:13 P.M. Seattle, November 22, 2010 Now, I don’t want people to get too excited, but take a look at what the NWS said at the end of their forecast discussion this afternoon.

Mt. Rainier Weather
Wednesday, October 26, 2011 12:23 P.M. Mt. Rainier is one of the most prominent peaks in the world, and it is certainly the most prominent one in the contiguous United States.

To Be Or Not To Be?
Sunday, January 9, 2011 9:04 P.M. As I try to memorize this stupid… er… wonderful passage, I am faced with an utterly more important question. Will we, or will we not, see a major snowstorm?

But it will get better throughout the day today. I might talk with Scott Sistek more about this. For those of you who don’t […]

December 2008 (Lots of snow discussions!)
December 30, 2008 This is a very difficult forecast to make. First of all, tonight and tomorrow, it will be rainy and windy. A winter storm warning is in effect for the mountains for 1-2 feet of snow. A typical winter storm… that’s pretty much it.The forecast for Thursday is SO complex and SO complicated. […]
Thunderstorms and a Frank Discussion on Hail vs. Snow
November 6, 2009 5:48 P.M. All I can say is WOW!!! Unless you’ve been living in a cave the last 20 hours or so you have no doubt noticed the intense precipitation that has been bombarding the area in the form of heavy showers and thunderstorms. The radar image above was shot at 11:40 P.M. […]
