Happy 2018 Everyone...It's always great to move into a new year, however today was a bad day for me as a sports fan. Michigan blew the lead and lost. Oklahoma lost the Rose Bowl in an overtime classic and Alabama steamrolled Clemson. I've been house sitting for the last week or so and I've loved every minute of it, but I'm ready to be in my own bed. I just want one really good nights sleep. I hope today was great for everyone.
Day 248...
Happy Tuesday Everyone. Well now we are really into 2018, how many of us have written 2017 so far? I know I have. All eyes now shift to the weather and Nor' Easter heading up the Atlantic seaboard later this week. I can't wait to see meteorologically what happens. Models are saying this could be one of those storms to remember.
Day 249...
This is incredible...I've posted a lot on my blog about GOES-16 and with this storm winding up and growing, we get this incredible shot of gravity waves from the satellite. I'm speechless to see how incredibly cool this is. Check it out.

Day 250...
I'm so incredibly jealous of my family and friends on the east coast. I'd love to experience a blizzard like this, it is on my bucket list. Here is another great shot of the storm from the GOES-16 satellite. I'm continued to be amazed at how awesome and important this piece of meteorological equipment has become.

I'm looking forward to another fun night at the bar. Let's do this.....time to have some fun and just enjoy a nice night of work!

Probably the wildest one snowstorm we ever got in The Dalles (except maybe 2008, which I wasn't there for) was in January 1998, in the middle of an El Nino season. At least 20" in a three-day stretch. I clearly remember the southeast wind kept one section of my grandparents' deck mostly bare while other places had deep drifts due to the fluffy, windy nature of the storm. Followed - of course - by ice as we transitioned out.
Needless to say, everything in town was paralyzed for about 5 or 6 days in a row...
