It's balmy out here in Bellevue (51F) and we've had gusts up to 30 mph so far, nowhere near Sunday's 44 mph.<br /><br />I like this "more interesting" weather as long as the snow stays where it belongs, up above 3000'! :-)JewelyaZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434569437851248356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-75575308335711114742011-12-27T22:22:48.480-08:002011-12-27T22:22:48.480-08:00Love this blog.

What I find odd is that they are saying tonight's storm (Tuesday night) is going to be the strongest and Friday's storm is probably going to be a lot weaker than first predicted. This seems to be the norm when reading forecasts. We tend to get too excited over the initial news. <br /><br />I've lived here long enough to know not to get excited over wind storms. About 1 in 20 actually happen. And the strongest winds we get are never predicted!Scott K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09543174609187989825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-42174351689099350012011-12-26T22:19:08.534-08:002011-12-26T22:19:08.534-08:00We got pounded here in the Fraser Valley, from Sur...We got pounded here in the Fraser Valley, from Surrey to Chilliwack. It even knocked over some planes at the airport. Our weather service up here in Canada didn't warn us about it either so nobody had a clue such strong winds were coming. Knocked out power to a lot of people. Under-reported, under-forecasted. Both uncalled for. Seems this time both sides of the border were sleeping in the weather department.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985332505838367390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-48852157176467392172011-12-26T17:28:26.497-08:002011-12-26T17:28:26.497-08:00Thanks very much for this detailed report, Cliff. ...Thanks very much for this detailed report, Cliff. Believe me, many around Puget Sound wondered what the he!! happened, with so much debris and branches down -- all within just an hour or two. <br /><br />I only wonder how come the TV talking head meteorologists don't give us some of the background on weather related events such as this. It was newsworthy, but except for coverage of the tragic death of the young girl up on South Whidbey the wind event was mostly neglected.JackMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966585039095621165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-83417190726194914622011-12-26T16:14:16.244-08:002011-12-26T16:14:16.244-08:00122 mph at Camp Muir and 88 mph at Mt.

Also, the Sunday storm looked like it might even be stronger than Fridays storm..... I sure hope these storms don't change direction or peeter out before they get here! are they just ”stronger than normal” or will they be crazy intense like the storm we had in 2006?Windlover2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16744849541022810499noreply@blogger.com
