I think your reminders of our local weather subtlety fits with this sentiment. Keep reminding us of the marvel of PNW and our good fortune to be here.

This cools the moist air and creates some precipitation in the form of snow. But the air is not moving thanks to a small, local temperature difference as is explained here. It is moving due to the much larger, normal circulation between air masses (wind).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-60945452940107551042020-02-19T09:48:45.411-08:002020-02-19T09:48:45.411-08:00When I sail in summer, I can on occasion take adva...When I sail in summer, I can on occasion take advantage of the land breeze until about 11 AM. Then, unfortunately, there is often a dead period from 11 AM until as late as 3 to 4 PM before the sea breeze finally gets going, and it may last until almost midnight. It always puzzled me why it starts and ends so late. On the East coast the sea breeze starts at 10 to 11 AM, and dies at sunset.Anselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835758313287462921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-8012484179172472202020-02-19T08:51:29.496-08:002020-02-19T08:51:29.496-08:00Cliff - is this the same phenomenon that causes &q...Cliff - is this the same phenomenon that causes "lake effect snow" in the Great Lakes region?deliriou5https://www.blogger.com/profile/11634800352341517682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-444928917359286562020-02-19T05:35:13.831-08:002020-02-19T05:35:13.831-08:00Cliff, thank you.
