I just ordered a kerosene heater that should show up right after Christmas. I've done power outage in the snow before, I'm not gonna mess with that poo poo in "coldest I've ever experienced" weather.

Looking forward to all the videos of people in Seattle and Portland trying to drive on icy hills

I'd like some snow, but not too much. Last year?? Or the year before? Whenever it snowed a bunch last, I had to run out and shovel a bunch off the roof when I noticed the bedroom door suddenly stopped being able to fully close

The high was 27F today, it's currently 16 and dropping.

I called out from work to play in the snow with my dog. He's a old man and this might be the last chance he gets.

My dog had zoomies in the snow drifts today and loved it.

The hummingbirds kept visiting the frozen feeder, so I kept emptying it and refilling it with hot sugar water. A few visited in between freezes, so I guess I did my good deed for the day?

We have a bunch of the feeders from Dollar Tree and keep an extra set in the house and swap them out when they freeze. They're also actually nice because the base comes completely apart for cleaning.

Turns out this won't be right. The folly of posting single run extended weather model maps.

Seattle did have a low this morning of 23F (one above the record low for this date) and got 3.4" of snow (not a record for this date, which is 8.8").

The record December low where I'm at is 8F. It's currently 14 and falling so we'll see

The real danger of the cold weather is having to drive in traffic. Passed a ton of people on the way to work just riding the rear end of people that were actually driving safely for the conditions. Like less than a cars length on plowed but not bare roads

It hasn't been terribly hot where I am because I'm close to the water but it's pretty neat how every day it ends up being around 5-10 degrees warmer than the forecast high. Wunderground's site just blanks out the high once the actual temperature gets a few degrees higher

Probably at least after they have reason to believe the water isn't actually going to recede. Although I imagine a lot of the people effected byt it would keep calling it a flood.

There are lots of places called lakes that don't have water in them until they do. Maybe Pakistan should have been called a lake all along

You can see rain on all the water in the background, it just looks concentrated on him because they're using lighting.

The forecast is predicting a 60% chance of showers for Sunday, but it's done that before over the last 2 months. Is there an Edging variable in the models? If yes they need to quit playing with it.

Check again. We had that yesterday but it's gone now

You could say it's been a bit dry here. Love that the leaves this year are just going straight from green to brown and crispy.

It's the first time I can remember being able to rake leaves into a big crunchy pile like media tells me is a real thing instead of just being a brown wet slimy layer on the ground

My neighbors all think anybody existing outside of their own yard is antifa come to take their guns and staple a mask to their face. Several of them have those expensive German shepherds bred and trained to protect your family. One of them is a cop that moved in and built a cop compound with goats and sheep and a shooting range and a flag pole with the snake flag.
Another one installed an 8 foot fence entirely around their house including a gate across the driveway that they have to get out and open every time they leave or come home

Had tons of big ol' trees falling over in the storms this fall. The city's response was of course to remove them, and then cull some more. Looking forward to seeing how they fare the next storm!

This happened in my neighborhood over the 15 years I've been here. A big storm knocked down a bunch of trees, so everybody cleaned up and cut down other trees deemed sus. A few houses cut down all their trees. This directly exposed different trees to the wind and they blew down in the next big storm. Rinse, repeat, now there are a bunch of houses with dirt yards full of stumps

It's fine, we've still got lots of opportunities for other kinds of disasters. I noticed they recently installed a bunch of huge "ENTERING/LEAVING TSUNAMI HAZARD ZONE" signs along the highway nearby
