I am a native Oregonian, former Portlander and now living in the Sunshine State--since late 2006. I certainly miss many aspects of the Great Pacific Northwest, including Portland--& Seattle. BUT...I will NEVER miss the long, cold, gray, rainy, cold, cloudy, gray days of the "10 month winter" through which I used to suffer. (( Did I mention "cold" and "rainy?" )) <br /><br />With warmest regards,<br /> Larry (aka Lorenzo DeTampa)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742238956839112822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-69376517520551228172010-06-10T12:06:06.655-07:002010-06-10T12:06:06.655-07:00I rode my motorcycle from Everett to Seattle at ar...I rode my motorcycle from Everett to Seattle at around 4:00. It was raining buckets from the SR526/I-5 junction to the 112'th street HOV offramp, with standing water on I5. Reminded me of a Florida thunderstorm. Then it was like a switch was flipped, the roads were dry and there were actually a few sunbreaks. My motorcycle gear was dry by the time I got to Green Lake.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694362952189907879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-8645253630084197042010-06-10T10:56:06.275-07:002010-06-10T10:56:06.275-07:00Speaking of weathermen, a lot of entities, includi...Speaking of weathermen, a lot of entities, including WashDOT, employ private weather forcasting companies. What can these companies possibly do that NWS cannot? Presumably they are relying on data from NWS and other government agencies. Given that NWS gives point forecasts, what can these companies add that justifies the cost?CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249207410731810954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-12196253601811925952010-06-09T21:40:44.419-07:002010-06-09T21:40:44.419-07:00Amazing how dry it was here in Redmond all afterno...Amazing how dry it was here in Redmond all afternoon and early evening.
