Interesting Weather
If last week’s storm was any indication, Seattle and area may be in for a nasty winter.

The weather in parts of Washington saw winds gusting to 60 mph followed by a dusting of snow turning to a rain/snow mix with continued wind warnings and tidal overflows and coastal flooding.
Watch what strong winds did to “Gallopin’ Gertie” in Tacoma, WA in 1940:
Strong winds blew through the Puget Sound area and Seattle City Light encouraged its customers to prepare for the possibility of power outages. They reminded everyone to have flashlights with fresh batteries available, charge cell phones and prepare with extra layers of blankets and warm clothing.
High winds always cause transportation infrastructure concerns in the area. “While every state highway is important, this particular wind storm has us paying special attention to the State Route 520 floating bridge,” said the assistant regional administrator of maintenance.
There has been a lengthy wet pattern of weather that began in the Pacific Northwest during the middle of October that just won’t let up. Since October 12, Seattle, Wash has only seen a total of eight completely dry days.
The Old Farmers’ Almanac predicts the rest of December to be cold with periods of rain and snow. January weather is going to start out just slightly warmer than average with snow and storms in the middle and end of the month.
The AccuWeather forecast shows the winter will be a couple of degrees above normal overall and they agree with the Farmers’ Almanac that there will be cold in late December and mid to late January. As far as storms go, they think the stormiest times for Seattle will be in early to mid-January, late January, and mid-February. Overall they are calling for below normal snowfall.
Seattle will get hit by clipper systems and they usually don’t produce large amounts of snow and the bigger snow systems will track further to the south of Washington.
The opposite weather will be true and bigger storms particularly during the months of January and February will result in an above average snowfall season for New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Weather in these areas will start off above normal and then change to cooler than normal as winter progresses.
The US Northeast is still dealing with the aftermath of flooding from the super storm Sandy, so these weather predictions will not be welcome in these areas.
