Clif...Re: The upcoming NW Weather Workshop Agenda<br /><br />Cliff, thanks for the link to the Workshop. This single-track event is packed with interesting topics, and one session in particular caught my eye:<br /><br />"11:00-11:15 Weather and Community Organizing: The Challenges of Building a Weather-Ready Nation in Undeserved Populations. Logan Johnson, NWS, Seattle Washington"<br /><br />I'd attend this one to find out just who the "undeserved" (undeserving?) populations are in our Novus ordo seclorum!Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548693323486769251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-56457786719697335562017-02-11T20:50:32.103-08:002017-02-11T20:50:32.103-08:00My dog usually starts shedding her fur in January....My dog usually starts shedding her fur in January.

But, we had more downed branches than ever and three downed (but dead) trees (snags, so the woodpeckers are pissed). Plus we lost the other half (half of it blew off last year) of a big forked fir. I've been trying to figure out what was different with this wind? I will be playing Pick Up Sticks all weekend!Robert Smaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061017814747800570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-45239576203328873562017-02-10T23:06:51.999-08:002017-02-10T23:06:51.999-08:00"I wish every week was like this" ~ haha..."I wish every week was like this" ~ hahaha! Scott K, you must not be a farmer in north Whatcom County. Try it on for a day and see if you feel the same. Having said that, I understand the appreciation for Weather, capital "W". :-DColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635233372638773800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-64651638526569212712017-02-10T16:23:01.094-08:002017-02-10T16:23:01.094-08:00Winds peaked over 80mph in Ferndale this afternoon...Winds peaked over 80mph in Ferndale this afternoon at The Old Jeffcott Place: KWAFERND7.

Yet on the same forecast page they link to a warning that says 20-35 mph with 50 mph gusts.<br /><br />Yesterday, I don't think we even had the warning. Weather.gov simply forecast a similar range (maybe it was 10-15 mph, I don't remember exactly), yet the 30 minute log on their site was currently reporting 38 mph sustained and 52 mph gusts.<br /><br />I know you've said the NWS doesn't have the resources to refine their local forecasts as well as many other organizations, but that's a really dramatic difference.iamlucky13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11983645412851735508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-53489907815610817872017-02-10T10:15:40.875-08:002017-02-10T10:15:40.875-08:00This has been a fun week.

After 5 years finally got some snow, then followed up with heavy rain, thunderstorm, wind and then even more wind! <br /><br />I wish every week was like this.Scott K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09543174609187989825noreply@blogger.com
