This has to be a lightning quick post, but that is ok because there is not much going on weather-wise right now. Take a look at the webcam above looking downtown. Look at all that gross haze! Ugh… I hate that type of weather.

Thankfully, you can escape this weather if you head up in elevation. It will also be warmer. Yesterday, Paradise, at 6,000 feet on Mt. Rainier, got up to 51 degrees. Meanwhile, Tacoma reached 37 degrees.

Bottom line: if you want clean, warm air, climb a mountain.

Gotta go! Sorry for the brevity.

  1. I'm glad I live above the haze! The city's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Thanks for keeping us posted. I know the weather has been boring, and will be for a while.

  2. Charlie, the weather today reminds me of winter in Beijing. But Beijing's tendancy toward inversion is much worse. Take today's Seattle weather, and quadruple the smog, and that's what you often get this time of year in Beijing. Lovely, yes?
