I wish we'd name these. Maybe we at PNW can give it a name.

Anyways, by Tuesday, a storm that would be classified a Cat 1 hurricane if it originated in another latitude will be just off the Washington coast.

 
Great. I’m not in the mood for this right now 😂 hopefully the stilly valley doesn’t get hammered by too much wind. I have a bunch of big trees that are on my radar for being “problematic” in the right storm. I’d rather this isn’t that storm.

Way back when, I used all that covid stimulus money to take out all my problem trees. Two ice storms later, and I'd say it's probably the best money I ever spent.
 
Generators. Weather. They get some clicks!

Hopefully the wind will knock over the one tree thats holding up two other trees in my back acreage that I got quoted $4k to get taken out, it would be great if everything else stayed up though.

Might see if you can sell them as lumber? We had a few trees taken out a few years ago and ended up money ahead.

Unfortunately this wasn't one of them. From December 2006.

To continue milking this extracurricular content, here's an update:

Starting Tuesday, November 19, 2024, A powerful Pacific low pressure system will impact the Northwest United States and Canada with strong winds, heavy rains and heavy mountain snow.

Important points from the article:

• Central pressure will fall almost 70 mb / 24 hours reaching 942 mb — similar to Category 4 hurricane.

• Parts of Oregon and Northern California could receive over 300 mm (12 inches) of rain from Tuesday through Thursday, increasing the risk of flash flooding and river overflow.

• Wind gusts up to 112 km/h (70 mph) are possible across parts of northern California and Oregon, with strong winds also expected over parts of western Washington

• The storm could lead to power outages, disrupted ferry services, and hazardous travel conditions across affected regions.

Everyone please stay safe and take precautions.
 
Also, everyone knows fish don't bite when the barometer drops. And this barometer is gonna drop bigly.

February 13th 1979 I was on a crab boat just south of Destruction Island and the forecast wasn't good. Every time we'd tap the barometer it would drop a HUGE amount. We ran gear until we couldn't and headed for the barn. Forecast turned out to be accurate and bucking into the 60 knot steady SW winds all the way back and across the closed Grays Harbor bar was :oops:.

We're supposed to get 10 inches from tomorrow through Friday on the Trinity. 299 will be a disaster. I'm considering calling in sick to work on Thursday when we're supposed to get 3.5 inches. I could probably make a fortune driving back and forth from Junction City to Burnt Ranch with a floor jack and heavy duty impact wrench changing flat tires.

Unless there is a full moon and king tide, right?
