Not as bad as last week unless you live in the south which is flooding.

You could have taken any weather map from the last month or so, photocopied it and used it in place of any of the others. The same pattern has been locked in place since around New Years. Storm enters from west, follows the dip in the the jetstream down south towards the gulf where it strengthens. It then follows the other side of the dip up through the Missippis River valley towards the northeast where it becomes either rain or snow/sleet/freezing rain depending on which side of the front you're on.

I was just kidding.....the weather girl was on TV talking about the Jet Stream and Gulf Moisture. I guess tone doesn't come thru a post.

Getting snow squalls here now too, nothing crazy, I think it's more windy than anything really. Only like 5-10cm announced.

We have not really gotten any serious storms yet this year actually. Even smaller snowfalls like this, I think the south got more than we did. We have maybe like 2 feet of snow on the ground at most total.

The map looks worse:

icy rain tonight. i dont care for it.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I should probably go take snow off my solar panels tomorrow. Have not done that since like November, not sure how much weight they can handle. I can't take it all off because we got lot of weird warm weather over the year that caused it to crust, but I can at least skim the top layer of normal snow.

After a couple of nice (no rain, but still only in the 40's) days, rain is coming back to the PNW.
