I'm familiar with the whole "it'll change to rain forecast", which sometimes happens, and sometimes doesn't. <br /><br />In general, it seems as if the models have underestimated the cold and I'm curious to see what they're really saying now about Thanksgiving. Looks like a stormy Thanksgiving regardless.Mattsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556740744428675922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-73087481642522740862010-11-23T09:02:51.899-08:002010-11-23T09:02:51.899-08:00We had almost no wind in Bellevue, weird.We had almost no wind in Bellevue, weird.Fleetwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307265277969303479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-2655433383269951722010-11-23T08:36:39.224-08:002010-11-23T08:36:39.224-08:00You Seattleites and "Southerners" have a...You Seattleites and "Southerners" have all the luck with your snowstorm! We still have the same old snow (2-3 inches)and ice from Friday night in Bellingham with just a confectioner's dusting from Monday. The wind did try to knock the house over and is still blowing this morning. Roads are still a mess though they finally did some sanding Monday. I'm hoping for some fresh on Thanksgiving before it all turns back to rain.

I was on my deck on Harbor ave watching the wind blow and the sky flashed. I heard a very distant thunder, very muted. My deck faces across the sound at magnolia. I wonder is there any way to tell if this really was a rare storm event? The flash was weird, like it flashed from everywhere at once.Wisepunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094864743665103279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-21761543375044738332010-11-22T22:29:13.000-08:002010-11-22T22:29:13.000-08:00I don't understand how on earth Bellevue Schoo...I don't understand how on earth Bellevue School District thinks the roads will be clear after just a 2-hour delay. I live near Phantom Lake, and careful observation shows 1.5 cm of ice on the road in front of my house and 2 cm of ice on the larger road a block away. No way that is going to melt out by 10:30 since temps are not going to go above freezing.<br /><br />Cliff, you've done a good job keeping us informed throughout this storm despite the challenging conditions.

Lumi reported gusts to 70 and I'd believe that we have had a couple of those. Our house is quite solid but it has been shaking, and I have seen the windows distending. Scary stuff. It is certainly the most sustained wind I have seen in 12 years here.<br /><br />I'm sure I am going to be busy with my chainsaw soon. At least the power has stayed on for the most part (one hour disruption) which is a great credit to OPALCO and their policy of hardening the island's power system against windstorms. In the good old days a storm like this would knock out power for a week.<br /><br />Here is a video clip of the storm from our house. It got much worse later. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugIq6PC-VvoOrcas Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13926614326551175808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-37883969717442881802010-11-22T22:21:23.467-08:002010-11-22T22:21:23.467-08:00Pals out in "the shadow" have nowhere to...Pals out in "the shadow" have nowhere to hide in these conditions.
