Friday, December 23, 2011 10:04 A.M. This will be a rather short post, as little has changed and my internet at home is so slow that it is not practical to even attempt to look at a variety of model charts. The pattern change still looks to be on tap, which is fantastic to see. […]
Stonehenge
Wednesday, Winter Solstice, 2011 12:34 P.M. Since it is the winter solstice, I thought I’d write today’s blog post on Stonehenge. As it turns out, Stonehenge was not just built by some strong dumb guys who wanted to prove to the world that they knew what a circle was. Stonehenge has a famous stone, called […]

Actual Pattern Change!
December 20, 2011 4:55 P.M. A week and a half ago, I posted a big blog about how things were gonna change. We were gonna get out of this inversion, get some rain in the lowlands, and start building some serious snowpack in the mountains. Like Obama, not much ended up changing. I love Obama […]
Southern Plains Snowstorm!!
Monday, December 19, 2011 3:55 P.M. Santa Fe – December 19, 2011 – Photo Credit: AP Photo/The Albuquerque Journal, Dean Hanson I’ve been trying to find creative things to write about on this blog, but I haven’t had the creativity because of finals week, and I haven’t found anything interesting about the weather either. The […]
Pattern Change?
Wednesday, December 7, 20111:05 P.M. The weather around here for the past ten days has been incredibly boring. I’d venture to say it has been even more boring than hundreds of left turns on the Nascar track. Sorry Nascar fans. But there is some good news! The models have been moving toward a pattern change […]

Air Quality
Tuesday, December 6, 2011 10:10 A.M. 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 […]
A Huge Inversion
Monday, December 5, 2011 10:20 A.M. Hi everybody. Sorry for not writing the past few days, my computer has been at the shop and I haven’t had access to one. I am writing this post at the library and I need to be sitting down in a class in nine minutes, so this will be […]

A Record Day at Sea-Tac
Thursday, December 1, 2011 12:42 P.M. Sound like you? Actually, all of us have been under a lot of pressure lately. While the weather outside seems mundane (and believe me, it is), Sea-Tac has seen the highest pressure readings since observations began there in 1948 over the past 12 hours. The below figures show the […]

Arctic Air Next Week?
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 […]
High Pressure, Inversions, and Fog
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 10:59 P.M. Photo Credit: Kevin Ebi @ Living Wilderness The next week or beyond will be very boring and uneventful for meteorologists. The culprit? A HUGE ridge of high pressure off the Eastern Pacific. Take a look at the current atmospheric configuration from tonight’s 00z UW WRF-GFS run. Valid 10:00 pm […]
