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.
