11. That's interesting because,
we took our dogs in to have them clipped yesterday. And that came up at the groomers. Our Dalmatian has been being funny about going out into the back yard to do his business that last week past. We attributed that to cold wet rain. What is not right about weather conditions at current must also effect the animals. They must sense something wrong. The big dog has been going where he sleeps in the house, and dogs don,t do that. Today the big dog resumed going out into the back yard. Next week is suppose to be warmer according to weather reports,or returning to the norm.

3. I came to post the same. Check out NWS map/etc

Dark purple-heavy snow
Dark pink-high surf
Med pink-gale warning
light pink-small craft advisory
blue-snow
manila-special weather statement

We've winds here with gusts, blowing potted plants over. And it is cold. Back to flannel pjs the last couple days, back to flannel sheets tonight. At least it's not tornadoes or floods, but dang those slugs are happy in my garden. Hoping for a late cool crop garden.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
330 PM PDT MON JUN 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG...LATE SPRING STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING RAIN...LOCALLY HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW....AND GUSTY WINDS TO
THE AREA TONIGHT. EXPECT IMPROVING WEATHER DURING THE DAY TUESDAY
AS THE STRONG...UPPER LOW MOVES INTO IDAHO. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT
WILL PROVIDE MUCH OF THE AREA WITH DRY AND WARMER WEATHER ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
THE STRONG...LATE SPRING STORM SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT
WINTER-LIKE WEATHER WAS JUST W OF VANCOUVER ISLAND...AND WILL MOVE
INTO FAR NW WA LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. THE OCCLUDED
FRONT APPEARED TO BE MOVING ONTO THE COAST AT THIS TIME. THE TIMING
OF THIS FRONT WAS A LITTLE SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT AND THE
SURFACE LOW WAS DEEPER THAN WHAT THE MODELS PREDICTED. ANTICIPATE
THE OCCLUDED FRONT TO MOVE ONSHORE THIS AFTERNOON...REACHING THE
CASCADES BY 02Z.

SNOW WAS GENERALLY FALLING ABOVE THE 5500 FOOT LEVEL AT PRESENT BUT
THE SNOW LEVEL WILL PLUMMET TO BETWEEN 2000 AND 3000 FT OVERNIGHT AS
A COLDER AIR MASS INVADES THE REGION. THUS EXPECT SNOW TO BEGIN
FALLING IN THE LOWER PASSES...SUCH AS SNOQUALMIE PASS...OVERNIGHT.
THUS WILL KEEP THE HEAVY SNOW WARNING GOING FOR THE MOUNTAINS...
ALTHOUGH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY FALL ABOVE THE 3500 FOOT
LEVEL. IT WAS STILL QUESTIONABLE WHETHER ANY SNOW WILL STICK ON THE
ROADS BELOW THE 3500 FOOT LEVEL. IF IT DOES...IT SHOULD MELT OFF
FAIRLY QUICKLY.

WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WINDS FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA SPEEDS TO BE MET OVER
THE ADMIRALTY INLET AREA ONCE THE WESTERLIES PUSH THRU THE STRAIT.
THUS WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR PRESSURE TRENDS THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

IMPROVING WEATHER WILL OCCUR LATER TONIGHT THRU TUE MORNING AS THE
UPPER LOW MOVES INTO ERN WA. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FURTHER TUE
AFTERNOON AS THE LOW MOVES INTO ID AND DRIER NLY FLOW ALOFT BEGINS
TO FILTER ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER VORTICITY MAXIMA DROPPING DOWN
THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS GOING
OVER MAINLY THE CASCADES THRU WED. OTHERWISE ANTICIPATE A DRYING
TREND TUE NIGHT THRU THU AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE PAC NW.
DAYTIME TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO WARM TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
WED AND THU.

4. It's Too Cold
I had to turn on the heat too. I can't believe it's June and it feels like it's the middle of winter. Time to go make some hot chocolate.

7. See a bit of a bad moon rising?
A little trouble on the way? Last summer was not good either. Erratic weather changes happening all over the world. Hurricanes and snow at odd times and places. Started tracking hurricanes when attached to submarines in 72. Experienced ten inch's of snow Charleston S.C. Feb. 73. Last recorded snow South Carolina before 1973 was 100 yeas before ,1873 but nowhere near 10 inch's. Before that no recorded records officiated by state government or government.

Last snow in Washington mo. June,over 100 years ago. Similarities in weather changes by record comparisons. e-Expected is 6 inch's at the pass tonight,time 11:47 P.M. 9 June 2008~! However expect surprises.

Unusual wind pockets!

October and now is the same for the time being.
be glad there are no earth quakes happening at current in this region. Same, eruptions at the mountains.

Recommend grin and bear,but do not smirk! Old man winter just might get mad!

IO, 1188-24401-Eat-sat., rule of thumb suggested reaction to weather at current,except weather conditions at current on weathers terms.
Remain on alert status and be prepared for anything! Unusual heat wave in N.Y.C.

Again, grin- bear,but do not smirk!

10. Wet rainy June is normal, but this is just colder than it should be.
I listen to the Nova M Radio stream, which is based out of Phoenix, and I hear their weather reports... 100 plus degrees and sunny, and I'm thinking.... Why the Hell am I still here in this miserable shit?

12. And windy too!
Tree fell down on our property the other night during the windstorm here, and I was afraid the tallest one was going to fall down right on the house.

:scared:

13. It's beginning to look a lot like 1993
Anyone here in Seattle remember that? The year without a summer; below-normal temps, rain, all the way through fucking AUGUST. I swear I was about ready to slit my wrists. I have SAD, and struggle through winter here; summer is supposed to be my reward. So when it doesn't even fucking show up...

I almost moved to Tucson the following year.

Oh, and that was the year of all the massive flooding in the midwest, guess what's happening now.
