I'm aware other locations are colder such as Vancouver BC in the upper teens F right now. In fact, Seattle's been well above the extreme traditional December cold experienced at times in years past, such as occasionally dipping below 20F at night, or not thawing during the day for three days in a row. As a matter of fact, even Seattle used to hit sub-15F from time to time. My Washingtonia palm tree that hasn't even skipped a beat with this so called cold weather. p206.1981https://www.blogger.com/profile/03740548356193928302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-89734332117346447912016-12-15T18:07:36.611-08:002016-12-15T18:07:36.611-08:00Snow flurries all day today, and still flurrying a...Snow flurries all day today, and still flurrying at 6:00 p.m. Thursday in Eatonville...yet not even a little blip of moisture on the radar over our area....really weird!

Unlike other parts of the country, we have only about a five-month period from the annual maximum (end of July) to the annual minimum (about New Year's Day). This followed by a (slow) seven-month warm-up. <br /><br />Whereas, in the east, for example, and over most of the country it is a nearly symmetrical curve, with a maximum about July 22 and a minimum about January 22.Anselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835758313287462921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-82316138384453330372016-12-14T17:38:04.005-08:002016-12-14T17:38:04.005-08:00I believe it will continue to get dark later and l...I believe it will continue to get dark later and later in the morning for a full week after solstice.Elstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638007460533897013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-14879168793959809652016-12-14T17:26:28.134-08:002016-12-14T17:26:28.134-08:00Is there not even a slight chance that wet system ...Is there not even a slight chance that wet system comes farther north and west? With recent forecasters grasping at anything that resembles snow in the puget sound region, I'm surprised this isn't happening again.<br /><br />This kind of has me on edge, a lot of our extreme weather (big wind storms, big snow events) happen when not predicted.
