Monday Night – Snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 5. Windy, with a west southwest wind 32 to 34 mph, with gusts as high as 45 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Tuesday – Snow showers. High near 12. Windy, with a west southwest wind 24 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.
well that’s why it’s called climate change.
now it seems like it was just the other day that I can remember being told there wasn’t going to be anymore snow, ice, glaciers and snow pack. the climate was changing.
and sure enough now we have snow north of the equator in June!
boy, that’s climate change you can believe in.
oh, wait, is this weather or climate change? I get the two confused.
Well I guess that’s better than blowing your top.
They left out (at least I couldn’t find it) the freezing elevation. It can snow on Mt. Rainier year round above a certain elevation. The mountains over 14,000 feet! So irritating that these people rely on Ecoast knowledge of “mountains”, where their tallest mountains east of the Mississippi are less than half the height of Mt. Rainier. People out here have summer cabins at those elevations.
Kerry/Owestupid have warned us that climate change is our greatest eneny.
Did they get 6″ of snow in Orlando ?
I have had a months-long ongoing conversation with a friend who has been trying to get me to admit a ‘belief’ in Globull Warming. I finally said that I acknowledge climate change from a scientific basis, as the climate is and has always been changing. His response: “But I’m just happy you finally acknowledge the overwhelming scientific peer-reviewed evidence that human industrial activity is heating up our very thin atmosphere.”
Ummm, project much? I certainly did not say that, and told him so.
BTW I asked him what he was doing to try to save the world from GW. His comment: “BTW, whether I’m personally doing anything to combat climate change is beside the point. It’s acknowledging it exists.” He later added that he was ‘doing his part’ by voting for the right politicians. That’s it. The world is coming to an end unless we do something, so I’m going to be sure and vote for the right guy in November. Meanwhile, I don’t plan to do anything else.
@Left Coast Dan: Ask your friend what’s better than climate change, would that be climate not-change? Makes no sense. Have him read a paper on space weather, that’s what affects our climate the most, including predictable earthquakes, thanks to our weakening magnetosphere, dynamic Earth poles, and solar cycles with pole flipping.
I always ask them what the optimal temperature for the earth is.
I found this: An unseasonably cool weather pattern is expected to drop snow levels down to approximately 4,000 feet.
You know it’s chilly if there is a chance of flurries crossing 1-90 over Snoqualmie Pass which has snow and rain in the forecast for the next 3 days.
…but summer doesn’t start in Seattle until after July 5th.
@cracker – with this friend it’s too late. I said the magic words, ‘climate change’, so he’s doing the victory dance because in his mind I now ‘believe’ in Globull Warming. That was all that mattered to him.
It’s the mountains for gosh sakes. I live “in the mountains”. There’s nothing unusual about snow on July 4th (average growing season is 45 days in the valley). It has always been this way. But I hope my libtarded family and friends living where I lived forever before moving to the mountains, the ones in Oly and Bremerton and Bellingham, just totally freak out over it. It’s really fun to watch that part.
Once I had to buy tire chains to get up and over the crest of the Rockies….in FrIggin’ JULY
