Clear and cold again
Much as I predicted, it got clear and cold again almost exactly a month after the solstice. The snow disappeared under 3 or 4 days of rain, and then the wind ripped through one night, and for 3 days, it’s … Continue reading
Snow
This is day 5 of straight snow. Today we are really getting dumped on; there’s about 10″ of snow on the ground, and it’s still coming down. Kristi is supposed to go out of town today on a business trip, … Continue reading
The weather outside is frightful
We got our first snow of the winter this weekend. It rained a little on Saturday morning, and then the cold front hit very suddenly around 11am. It snowed pretty good for the rest of the day, but not a … Continue reading
Winter weather
There is an interesting phenomenon in Washington weather that I never noticed when I lived here before. I always used to characterize WA weather as being sunny in the summer and rainy in the winter, but that’s not actually the … Continue reading

It’s been pretty cloudy and drizzly lately. And it gets *cold* at night. Morning frost is a regular occurrence, and the furnace in the car and in the house are humming. I’ve been wearing a t-shirt under my dress shirt. … Continue reading
First frost
The grass was crunchy this morning for the first time. Down in the valley, it was 34ยบ and very foggy (but not crunchy). It was mostly cloudy last night for Trick-or-Treating, but the 5-day crescent moon was lighting things up … Continue reading
Rainier Watch
Haven’t been able to see the actual mountain for days, a mixture of being out of town and my sun-hating coworker. But I felt the need to mention that lately I’ve seen a new and interesting pattern. The moon is … Continue reading
Rainier Watch
My coworkers who sit next to the window keep the blinds closed, so it’s harder for me to see the mountain. It’s mostly clear out today, but I can see just the base of the mountain; the tops are obscured … Continue reading
