Do you read these comments ?
If so, please ...Cliff,<br />Do you read these comments ?<br />If so, please tell me there is a chance that we will have some sun on Father's Day. <br />I am not asking for myself, I am asking for the 800 folks who will come to Manchester for our annual Salmon Bake in support of our library. We own and operate this building -- and it rained the last two years. Thanks, RayO.

I went up to Edmonds with my girlfriend and enjoyed sunny skies on Saturday of all days...it was suppose to be the cloudiest, but over the north-central sound, it was picture perfect. Thanks so much for doing these.

Your approach is a silver lining in an otherwise grey low cloudbank. And while I'm at it, your book "Weather in the Pacific Northwest" was enlightening to read—and his from someone who isn't all that keen on weather. I used your book to edit a few Wikipedia pages on relevant topics. I suspect the KUOW issue is dead, but I wish you luck in your future endevours.pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-65130355065561463202011-06-11T00:53:47.488-07:002011-06-11T00:53:47.488-07:00Cliff - I think your weekend podcast is awesome!

Also, I can listen to your forecast without having to fast-forward through 45 minutes talk just to hear your forecast.Boyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398456567797898638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-90742093293350470522011-06-11T00:10:38.219-07:002011-06-11T00:10:38.219-07:00Thanks, I really hope you keep doing these.

And thanks also for your actitivism on math, with two small kids just starting school, I've learned a lot from research based on your statements. From what I've learned, I'm amazed at Seattle school's position. Glad I'm in Edmonds where a degree of sanity seems to keep hold.pflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866574024138674337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-35374126657888596672011-06-10T23:58:39.982-07:002011-06-10T23:58:39.982-07:00It sounds great.
