About 9â of #snow at #HurricaneRidge in the #OlympicMts last night. This year weâll take anything we can get!
Hit 54â this afternoon. Thatâs starting to feel decent
Theyâre stealing our snow!
Snow covered Forest Service road with ski tracks.
The #snow pack is starting to rebuild in the #OlympicMts. 41â at the Mt Crag SNOTEL and still snowing: wcc.sc.egov.usda.gov/reportGenera...
Big change from the 16â we were down to on the 17th. #WAWx
Has there ever been a snow drought this widespread throughout the whole western US?
By âwestâ I mean the western US
Locally it reminds me of 2015, but this snow drought extends throughout the entire west. Has there ever been such a widespread snow drought?
Dismal! Letâs hope the predicted pattern change helps recover the #snow pack soon!
A2, B3, C1?
Can the abnormally warm temperatures this fall and winter in the #PNW be attributed to above normal sea surface temp in the Pacific? www.ospo.noaa.gov/products/oce...

Webcamâs broken. Word from a friend was the corn was nice, but there were lots of gaps in coverage.
Whatâs up with the #HurricaneRidge road? The hotline said it would open this morning, but the webcam is still showing it unplowed and unused www.nps.gov/webcams-olym...

#HurricaneRidge road closed today due to âplow malfunctionâ per the phone hotline. đ
Getting even better
The #snow covered trees are catching some sunset glow at #HurricaneRidge on the NPS webcam
Yes, now small branches are breaking. And rain just hit
The westerly surge is either a lot slower than predicted, or not strengthening as much. No personal weather stations along the Strait in Clallam county are showing any significant winds yet.
In other words, Seattle City Light doesnât want any responsibility if they canât provide adequate flood protection.
I was tracking the forecast of the Mt Vernon crest last week and at first it was going to be 7-8 feet over the previous record, but it ended up being mere inches over the record.
This says âclearedâ yet traffic is still not moving. Whatâs going on?

Building #snow pack at #HurricaneRidge #WAwx

Light frost in places this morning in #PortTownsend. I usually donât expect frost until about Halloween here due to the maritime influence, so this seems early. #WAwx

@seattle.skyvibewx.com Sun called in sick today. Snotty clouds giving us post-frontal nasal drip here in #PortTownsend. Slugs rejoice as they devour the last remnants of my garden. #WAwx
It looks like AR scale forecast tools are not working at cw3e. Maybe itâs on summer break?
My daughter was furloughed, and it is so frustrating to see young scientistsâ budding careers get hampered by evil politics! I write my congress people, make noise, but I donât see how US science is going to avoid a major downturn by the anti-science practices of the current âadministrationâ.
Wildfire smoke:
I can smell #wildfire #smoke in #PortTownsend now, although the #PurpleAir sensors havenât shown much PM2.5 yet. There are now 4 fires on the #OlympicPenisula, and most of the impact is from the #BearGulch fire.
