Weather Patterns




Category: Ramblings | Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2010 7:10 pm

At well past nine this AM the temperature is still well below freezing 16F/-9C. Unfortunately it comes with no snow and clear skies. A little more thinning of plant varieties again this winter as predicted.

We are experiencing El Nino and the results of solar activity on our local climates. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have had misty days (normal) and then torrential rains (12-24 inches in 48 hours) not normal with days like today that are sunny, clear and brrrr…cold (not typical either). The best was snow at Thanksgiving that closed business and schools. Living on the borders of a rain forest can spoil one to expect mist and moisture and gray fine days. El Nino changes all that.

It is good day to sit and read.
