This ...Light snow at 1:30pm in Auburn.<br /><br />@windlover<br /><br />This goes back to my question of why/how the forecasts continue to start off showing an event, but as we get closer to the event they downplay it right at the last moment. It seems to happen with wind and snow events, and in this case possibly the cold event that's coming tomorrow. <br /><br />I can't remember a time when a forecast talked about a future storm and actually upgraded the strength as we got closer. They've always downgraded as we get closer, which I think has a lot to do with people's opinions on accuracy and 'cry wolf' stuff that's been talked about lately.

My fancy condo in Redmond is a leaky icebox in the winter and a sauna in the summer.<br />That said, happy to see the cold. The balance in nature around here is kept with a cold blast once a year from the Seattle Rat problem to spring mosquitoes.

Unfortunately, unlike in the Midwest and Northeast, much of the housing in this area is simply not built to withstand these repeated blows of far-below-normal temperatures and can result in serious health issues. Sadly, those who can least afford it are usually the most severely affected. And, as we are now seeing, severe cold does not necessarily equal copious and pretty snowfall - the sad truth is that it negatively affects the well-being and quality of life of our most vulnerable. It may not be trendy to say this, but I am hoping that this upcoming cold spell will be the last of this winter.tracksdc89https://www.blogger.com/profile/13859004679371356481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-87129735260464951722016-12-30T17:24:19.649-08:002016-12-30T17:24:19.649-08:00The 500mb, there is a blocking high over the the g...The 500mb, there is a blocking high over the the gulf of Alaska and is expected to be there/persist for a long time.
