It’s been raining here for hours and I can only wonder what it would have been like if it were cold enough to snow. ⛄️

If Webster needs a photo of a convergence zone…

Seattle finishes warmest La Nina winter on record - Emerald City Weather Blog “IMPOSTER!” “WE WERE ROBBED!” “BOOOOO!” “THE PATRIOTS AND 49ERS PUT UP A BETTER FIGHT!” “OWW!”* (*Skiers and snowboarders)

Despite La Nina in effect, Seattle just finished up tied for its 8th-warmest winter on record at Sea-Tac. But what does this winter *not* have in common with those other years? None of the others were La Nina winters. #wawx #lanina #enso #seattle #winter

Seattle is about to make some lame winter history… - Emerald City Weather Blog Were the brief snow showers Tuesday and Thursday in Seattle what this entire winter is going to muster

Well, at least we got to see *some* snow this winter.

That was one amazing lightning bolt that rattled the Lynnwood/Edmonds area earlier this evening. Weather observers spotted it from: Arlington (AWO), Everett (PAE), Bremerton (PWT), Seattle/Boeing Field (BFI), Sea-Tac (SEA), and Renton (RNT). You can see it in the remark field "LTG DSNT (Direction)"

And now that sudden gust of southerly wind in reverse is all American hockey fans now exhaling 😂

That big surge of wind through the Fraser Valley just now was all of Canada exhaling from surviving overtime in men's hockey 😂

Just going to leave this here 😂🥳 (Only 1 point off on the total score in my prediction with KIRO FM last week. No, I didn’t bet on it 🤦🏻‍♂️) #Seahawks

Seattle to get hit by a series of atmospheric… ‘brooks’ instead of ‘rivers’? - Emerald City Weather Blog Seattle’s January dry streak is finally ending as series of weather systems heads our way. MEGARIDGE is R.I.P.
