I watched in awe this week as the largest spiral system I have ever seen cover almost the entirety of North America, but as I am strictly a self taught amatuer climatologist, weather/climate head, I cant back up my observations with anything like a prediction, so, here are some of the daily feeds where you can learn to see things comming.

there was an early version of something very much like windy, except that it is a globe that you can spin in 3d and expand,but with zero branding or fancy stuff, no idea what it was the url is. and re: windy thanks for the reminder, I had dropped windy as it was breaking in my browser of choice, but it's working again

I am glad my gutters are clean and I am on the hill and the house is reinforced by pin piles. There have been mudslides nearby almost every time this happens. My best wishes go out to folks in beautiful Skagit ...

There’s also a fairly decent wind storm coming in tonight - 45mph gusts predicted.

It’s going to be an interesting week in the Washington PNW…

I don't think we're going to get as much, but I do think those flooded could use some reprieve.

The West Coast Downhill House Racing Event is scheduled! Good luck! Get those drainage systems checked.

Everyone who has prayed for rain: thank you, your services are no longer required.
