Does that lack of updating mean nothing has changed since 4 am or that they haven't a clue?? Or do they do this all the time and I just don't notice?TVNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009390667773034005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-84909198746078269732012-01-13T11:35:48.739-08:002012-01-13T11:35:48.739-08:00Re: JewelyaZ's suggestions.

Perhaps another way to unfilter is to make a couple of positive reviews to other businesses to make you a legit Yelper. If time allows, perhaps you can share with us Yelp ratings of your favorite restaurants in town?

Now, I am certainly not an expert, and long range models can change by the minute, but they show that we will be flirting with cold and a lot of moisture for at least a couple of weeks, with a couple of possible good blustery/windy days in between. What's your take on this? Are we in for a couple of crazy weeks?ILoveWinter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15703499652749442706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-87097876262702317772012-01-13T09:21:34.064-08:002012-01-13T09:21:34.064-08:00Let's get Cliff's review of the evil dogsi...Let's get Cliff's review of the evil dogsitter unfiltered on Yelp.

The coastal radar will be really nice to see what SW flow and showers are offshore on their way in coming around the SW part of the Olympics.<br /><br />Even more interesting is the over-runnning event for late Tuesday which could be a rare guaranteed snow situation but depends on how far north it pushes the cold air mass and potential change to heavy rain. Good idea to hold off on that until the right time!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216858723878354027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-40116034411494757642012-01-12T23:43:10.471-08:002012-01-12T23:43:10.471-08:00I'm certainly looking forward to the opportuni...I'm certainly looking forward to the opportunity to break out my snow gloves and plan on building another snow-cat this year. :) (I don't settle with plain 'ol snowmen.

This post contains two nasty phrases ~ "winds from the north, pulling cold air out of BC" and "flooding rains" ~ both of which spell nightmare for those of us farming up on the Canadian border. <br /><br />Really, our weather is so drastically different from yours, and even from those ten miles south, that I never know what to make of these forecasts. I'd love a pleasant winter snowscape, but...well, let's be honest. More likely we'll deal with a week of snow showers, black ice, and wind.

Something that provides a NNW flow that skirts the coast to bring in some moisture but not so much that it gets warmed by the sea surface temperatures?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468734038469683964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-41316808044945811222012-01-12T13:24:12.703-08:002012-01-12T13:24:12.703-08:00Great post!
