West Seattle Weather Watch: Not to panic anybody, but …

During our recent waves of snowfall, many turned to meteorologist Cliff Mass, well-known for his KUOW appearances and now for his website. He has layered this with a host of caveats, but — given our particular vulnerability in hilly, treed, water-surrounded West Seattle — you should know he says there’s the CHANCE of serious wind toward the end of the coming week. Read his post here. (What about the National Weather Service, you ask? The latest “forecast discussion” mentions only a “strong … system.”)

Ha! The scary thing is Cliff seems to be the best weather predictor. Glad I have my flashlights and firewood handy from last week! This could get interesting.

Well, I hope power outages aren’t part of any of that since we probably all just stocked up on food in the past few days; I know we just did. Now I think I’ll go restock firewood.

Oh great….The snow was a picturesque and physical inconvenience, but high winds give me the major willies.

Time to dig deep for a sense of humor about it. What else can you do when you have no control over it. I’d suggest this on the latest WSB “garbage” comments but tempers are already flaring. Batten down the hatches and see what we have to deal with next.

Sorry, comment time is over.
