Monday, July 14, 2014 11:13 a.m. We are in the midst of a period of extremely warm weather. Highs have been in the upper 80s for an extremely long time, and although I can’t comment on meteorological figures since I have had very limited access to the interwebs (and outside world altogether) at the summer […]
Global Warming: The Three Societies
Thursday, May 22, 2014 4:19 p.m. “Cosmos” has always been a fantastic show, but it, and its host, Neil deGrasse Tyson, seem to have gained even more popularity recently. The thing I love about Mr. Tyson is that he’s not only a fantastic science educator, but he’s not afraid to call out those who don’t […]

Record Heat for May Day, and a Scorcher for the Oregon Coast.
Thursday, May 1, 2014 9:45 p.m. I’ve actually got some free time on my hand before I get back to doing the last 3/10ths of my linear algebra assignment. So I thought I’d post a blog, because I haven’t posted for a long time. A word of advice… don’t take AMATH 352 at the UW […]

The Wettest March on Record
A lion in West Midlands Safari Park: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Just_one_lion.jpg They say March roars in like a lion. Well, March didn’t just have a singular lion, or even an open salvo of them. It had a continuous stampede of them. They say these beasts are endangered, but after this month, I’m not so sure. There seem to be plenty to […]
The Oso, Washington Landslide
Monday, March 24, 2014 1:54 a.m. Retrieved from WSDOT Flickr page Sorry about the delay in postings. End-of-quarter finals unfortunately usually take higher priority over weather posts. This isn’t always the case during the end of fall quarter, as we are in the thick of the storm season and lowland snow is a very real […]
A Good Soaking
Monday, March 3, 2014 9:57 p.m. I don’t want to say winter is over. Heck, Snoqualmie pass was closed from North Bend to Ellensburg today, which I believe is a 70 mile stretch or so. Bellingham got clobbered with snow twice in the past two weeks. But, we face an unfortunate reality – it is […]
Another Wet Week Ahead
Sunday, March 2, 2014 5:55 p.m. And the hits just keep on coming. After our not-so-close brush with snow (it’s easy to get excited looking at models beforehand, but when push comes to shove, this is Seattle, and we live right next to Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean and are protected from cold air […]
Sierra Snow
Monday, February 24, 2014 10:54 p.m. 99 closures of Snoqualmie Pass, 99-minute lift-lines. Take one down, pass it around, 98 closures of Snoqualmie Pass. That’s certainly what it’s felt like for most of this month. We have been battered again and again by storm after storm, and our once measly snowfall, which was below 50% […]
Snow? No.
Saturday, February 22, 2014 11:21 p.m. Well, at least not for Seattle. The latest model runs have all been more aggressive with scouring the cold air that we have in place out and leaving the rain-snow line further north. Whatcom County looks to receive the biggest blow from this event, and Bellingham is currently under […]
Late Season Sea-Level Snowfall?
Friday, February 21, 2014 1:19 p.m. Heads or tails? With the European model saying essentially no snow, the NAM (one American model) giving snow to the foothills and places to the far north, and the GFS (the premier American model) giving 3-8 inches of snow everywhere, you might as well flip a coin at this […]
