I also noticed the winds, forecasted for 70-80 knots at the coast, were forecast for 850mb. My first question is what would that wind translate to at the surface, and if that forecast comes to fruition, wouldn't that be quite similar to the December 07 storm? Reading between the lines makes me think this could be an epic event- am I reading too much into this?

I saw 35 knots at my boat several times. And last night a touch of rain and this morning some gorgeously sunny snow showers. Rainbows are nice, but snow in the bright sunshine is quite novel and beautiful. <br /><br />I was warching the precip on the radar parting last night (the Sequim rainshadow was alive and well), with just some light stuff that finally managed to overwhelm the shadow and give a few sprinkles, and then this morning's snow dusting (our house is at 1200 feet). <br /><br />November seems to be slowly drifting into winter without any drama and lots of sunshine. I like it this way.<br /><br />John MJohn Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271037292493818827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-26541211911431889472011-11-17T08:54:42.404-08:002011-11-17T08:54:42.404-08:00bosaanova, how about you finding a better weather ...bosaanova, how about you finding a better weather blog then you will not have to come here and get distracted.

I live by Anacortes and at about 9:50 Wednesday night when the red went over us on the radar it rained like I had never seen it before. My weather station recorded the rate as 12.5 inches an hour for about 20 seconds and we got one tenth of an inch in about a minute.<br /><br />It was the hardest rain I had ever seen and standing out in it I got soaked within a few seconds. For us in the western edge of the rainshadow where we barely got any rain today it put on a real show after dark.weatherloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837264200312577875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-24646127436352508372011-11-16T16:28:59.705-08:002011-11-16T16:28:59.705-08:00Certainly interesting weather this afternoon.

The liberal and overuse of winter weather warnings.<br /><br />This tradition started a couple years ago at CWU. I noticed a winter full of advisories and warnings, but I'd always wake up to a dusting, maybe an inch of snow so many times. I kept scratching my head.<br /><br />So now I keep track of snowfall amounts (highlighted situations) of forecasted and actual. Today range was 3-7 to 2-4 inches. Just measured 2.5cm.

She is squarely on the right side of the math issue, as well as the need for community input and hands-on director leadership. I know you supported her in her race against lackluster Harium. Curious as you know something about media entity attacks. ;-) <br /><br />And would you support Martin and Buetow in 4 years? I've already heard that both said they will run again. Personally, I am not that thrilled with the election results. I wanted all 4 incumbents gone.cascadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07790011815664752047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-88202947282561068682011-11-16T10:38:17.488-08:002011-11-16T10:38:17.488-08:00jno62, this board will select the next superintend...jno62, this board will select the next superintendent.

They are not white, and many of their citizenry is hardly economically advantaged. <br /><br />We have all had our experiences that shape our opinions. But you have to be careful not to become a prisoner to those experiences and to the past. <br /><br />As to the weather, meh. So far it's been a relatively blah November and I don't see much in the charts that that is going to change outside of a little flirtation with a few flakes this weekend.Superhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208358506896071732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-86395153339366553662011-11-16T08:42:25.338-08:002011-11-16T08:42:25.338-08:00Yep, my father, a retired aerodynamics engineer, h...Yep, my father, a retired aerodynamics engineer, had plenty to say about the poor state of math education throughout his retirement...I remember him laboring to teach me practical ways to do division back in the day when some newfangled New Math program was chewing on our school district.
