Pacific North West - Excessive heat warning issued

[oosik]

I think we in the PNW are in for a real cold snap this coming week. Hard to believe what they are predicting for the Spokane area.

 

[Buppies]

Not really surprising considering the current alignment in the weather pattern currently. In SWVa Christmas will be in the 60s. Low pressure west coast high pressure east coast

So we'll probably get it in January.

So we'll probably get it in January.

That would be nice. We need some cold to kill off the mosquitos.

What are they predicting? I was in Salem, Oregon in January 1973, when it hit 13 below. In the era before insulation, that caused a lot of plumbing damage. I saw one house where a water heater explosion lifted the roof off, blew the side walls out 6", and set the roof back down, all for the cost of a PRV.

13 to 18 degrees F for a high for several days after Christ mas and single digits for low temps a couple days. Just north of The Dalles Oregon.
My other place in Colville is expected to have single digits for a high and -10 or there abouts for low temps. Rushing to get the Colville property shut in so things don't freeze up.

Yikes, hope it doesn't get too cold on the west side.

In Sedro Woolley where I moved from they are predicting eight inches of snow over the weekend followed by cold, down to two degrees Monday morning. Here in the north Okanogan they are predicting 3 inches of snow and 12 below on Monday morning. I doubt I will be clearing much snow next week on an open station tractor with the highs in the single digits all week.

Bundle up . . .

I just got a fema alert predicting up to 20 inches of snow over next 24 hours, and temps dropping over next 5 to 7 days. Supposed to get down to -10°F, with possible wind chills -25°.

well see….these things are hit and miss.

Forecast on Monday is for a high 20, low 14. That is cold for here.

That is on the warm side of the state. The predictions for here have moderated a little with Monday's high being 6 and the low -8, but only a little snow.

 

[oosik]

I've been keeping an eye on the predictions, also. Glad to see it's moderating.

Warm side in the winter, but cool side in the summer

Ya, don't tell anybody, but the summers on the wet side are fantastic.

approx 3 3/4" of snow from yesterday.

 

[Larry Caldwell]

8" of heavy, wet snow this morning, with more falling. I just saw a fair sized maple tree fall from the office window. Anticipating power loss, the wood stove is stoked and the hearth is warm. If the temperature drops as predicted, the snow will freeze into concrete.

Measured 24” on ground. received 2” more overnight. Were heading out to hook up the sleigh and go for a ride.

 

[Molalla1]

Had just a little snow, enough to cover the ground.
