Wednesday, December 17, 2014 1:46 pm Last Thursday night, right after I had finished my final, my mom and I decided to trek up to Sandy Hook, which is a little coastal community situated on Cultus Bay on the southern tip of Whidbey Island, to catch what ended up being the biggest windstorm of the […]
Major Windstorm Tomorrow?
Wednesday, December 10, 2014 12:30 pm I’ve got one more final tomorrow at 11:30 am, but here I am, blogging away my anxiety. Why on Earth would I put 40% of my grade on the line to write a stupid weather blog (and yes, I’m going to need all the time I have to study […]
Windstorm on the Way
Saturday, October 25, 2014 1:12 p.m. First off, sorry for not being the most punctual poster as of late. I was actually recently contacted by the University of North Carolina of all places to write a weather blog using some of their graphics for WeatherOn. I really hope it will put uss “On” the map. Get […]
Windstorm Update #2
Sunday, September 29, 2013 11:27 p.m. Hey everybody, this is just going to be a quick post because I gots to go to bed soon. Anyway, the GFS was correct and the NAM was not. The NAM is often called the “Never Accurate Model” for that very reason. We still have high wind warnings up, […]
Windstorm Update
Sunday, September 29, 2013 10:36 a.m. What are more delicious? Apples or mangoes? Mangoes, of course! They are juicier, sweeter, and slipperier than our state fruit. Also, they are imported, and just the thought of eating something that came from Thailand automatically makes it more delicious. Apples aren’t too bad though. They have anti-doctor properties […]
What Does the Model Say?
Saturday, September 28, 2013 10:49 p.m. I’m sure many of you are familiar with Ylvis’ international hit: “What Does the Fox Say?”. I’ve heard the song once or twice, and that’s one or two many times too many. The fox does not say “gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding” or “Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow.” The fox goes “WAArra!!!” Everybody knows that. So what’s […]
An Unusual September Rain Event
Saturday, September 28, 2013 5:50 a.m. There’s no sound quite like moderate rain. Light rain doesn’t make much of a sound at all, and heavy rain can be overpowering at times, especially if it is related with a thunderstorm. But moderate rain… that hits the spot. Moderate, consistent, soaking rain is great for just sitting […]
Sunday Surprise!
Sunday, April 7, 2013 1:03 P.M. 01:24 am PDT Sun 07 Apr 2013 – Langley Hill Radar Last night, a surprisingly powerful storm rolled through the area. It’s a shame that the brunt of it came while most people were sleeping, as I’m always down to watch a good storm, but I can get a […]
A Storm, and then Cold
Monday, January 7, 2013 10:13 A.M. It’s refreshing to finally have another decent storm roll through the area. As I have stated many times on this blog, I vehemently dislike boring winter weather. Today’s the first day of winter quarter at the UW, and weather-wise, it’s off to a stellar start. We’ll see about otherwise… […]
An Update!
Sunday, December 16, 2012 2:40 P.M. Hi everybody! It’s great to be back! I survived finals, although I sustained some serious injuries during the battle. Oh well, I’ll recover from them soon enough. We’ve got a lot to talk about. First off, we have a fairly large storm swinging through our area tonight. Take a […]
