Ok, visibility kinda sucks, at least right now. It may change. I’m not sure why. Maybe because the snow is giving off some moisture, maybe because there is more particulate matter. But it will get better throughout the day today. I might talk with Scott Sistek more about this. For those of you who don’t […]
Midnight Update
Monday, November 22, 2010 11:50 P.M. So the snow has now largely come to an end. Don’t be surprised if you see a flurry, but I doubt you will see any additional accumulation. Generally, I’ve been hearing of about 5 inches of snow in the Seattle area. I have 5 inches at least. Very, VERY […]
Yes, I failed!!!
Monday, November 22, 2010 6:22 P.M. WOOHOO!!! I can’t believe this is happening. Winter storm warning and 2 inches of snow and counting! The models predicted zip. Cliff Mass predicted zip. Scott Sistek predicted pretty much nil. I gave you a 5% chance of snow. The National Weather Service was just ignoring the models and […]
Snow chances today and tomorrow
Sunday, November 21, 2010 12:28 P.M. Hey guys. Some of you saw some snow flurries this morning. Some of you did not. It depends on where you live and your elevation.

Charlie Phillips’ LAWES (Likelihood of an Arctic Weather Episode with Snow) scale
November 11, 2010 9:09 P.M. Making an acronym that sounds like an actual word (aka: not MOFACASOSWWWW – Major Outbreak of Frigrid Air, Copious Amounts of Snow or Other Severe Winter Weather in Western Washington) actually took me a really long time. And I’m sorry I haven’t been updating this, the weather has been boring and […]
Putting that Big Midwest Storm in Perspective
October 27, 2010 1:59 P.M. Look at that storm!!! Now, many of you may have heard about the huge storm in the Midwest. There has been a lot of talk about it being the strongest extratropical storm on record on the contiguous 48 states. The media generally says it is. However, many of the local […]

Storm Details Uncertain
October 20, 2010 4:34 P.M. The details on the storms this weekend are still very, very murky. The American models, the GFS and the NAM, have been forecasting a large low pressure system to bottom out in the Gulf of Alaska at around 950 millibars, sending a strong front right into our area. This is […]
