Site Down for a Few/ Update Struggle.

Hello good people that you are,

I just wanted to first and foremost apologize for the lack of post's and updates in the last two weeks, especially during our early Arctic episode. Even though I saw this event out for almost two weeks, I had begun taking on other endeavors, such as working for a seasonal job to help out with school, transportation..etc. It got real hard to find any time to post while working, but will use weekends and early morning post's in the future to help with that.

I have a few updates I need to add to the site, but the server has been down and need to figure it out soon. I’m assuming by this Weekend, everything will be up and updated with recent content.

I'll post another blog later this afternoon that’s related to our recent weather and broken records. Thank you for all your support and patience through these busy times.

Coldest Air of the Season Right Around the Corner!

That's right! Looks like we will start digging into some of the coldest weather of the season this weekend, with snow levels lowering near 1500ft starting Thursday night. The picture I have attached is for next week, this shows a perfect "Arctic" air setup, which would keep us well well below normal for the remainder of next week as well.

Though, this is very interesting, we still ahve to accept the fact that the models will continue to sort out all the fine details before then..so a lot will change from now till then. And for as early as it is, im not complaining one bit about the interesting weather model runs this month. Beats 8 months of no excitement anyday! Tomorrow I will have more details and more specific blog post, so stay tuned!

Weather Tidbits

Today i'll be trying something new, i'll be posting weather tidbits that catch my eye during the day that relates to weather, and our weather in general. It's been quite "inactive" weather wise, just cool wet weather. Latest model runs have been showing an interesting blocking pattern set up in the pacific, which would open the door for colder weather on our doorsteps. But for now, thats still quite a ways out and a lot will change from now and then.


Can an Indonesian Volcano Effect Our Weather?

Yesterday was the coolest day of the fall season so far, some places around Hood River at 1,600ft + saw their first snows of the season.


So your not good at interpreting weather models and data, turn to pig spleens to forecast weather!
