PacNW "Bomb Cyclone" 2024

Better stock up on IPAs. I hear flannels keep you warm if the heat goes out.

It's dark beer season. That keeps me warm.

It’s always dark beer season.



The hell is wrong with you people up there you forgot that. (Would kill for a Thor’s Equinox)

That's fair. I have a hard time drinking dark beers when it's 100 degrees in the summer. But it's still my favorite beer.

That’s why you can put ice in whisky.

Exactly. Although rice lagers have become my new summer drink around here.

My wife got me into cinnamon whisky and orange soda over ice….

For whatever reason that goes great about 430pm finishing a lawn and sweaty.

Ooooh. That sounds amazing. I will have to try that.

That does not look like fun at all.

Pretty interesting meteorological event coming in the next 24-48 hours off shore the Pacific NW. A bomb cyclone is going to form which will approach CAT 3/4 hurricane force winds in less than 24 hours and a pressure possibly sub 950hPA.

A look at the current Mid-Level Water vaper loop 24 hours prior has essentially no evidence of this:

The GFS however shows it's quick formation:

Wind gusts to 70 in the foot hills of the cascades and the coastline with seas to 30-40ft offshore. SEA is forecast to have crosswinds to 40+ kts.
There is a strong atmospheric river component as well that will set up on the Oregon/California border bringing almost a foot of rain to that region.

Pretty amazing event that will rival the Columbus Day storm of 1962 and may exceed that from a pressure standpoint.

Nerd.

We had one of these really big blows when I was a kid and the power was out for four days, though it was a lot more than 40 knots; the no-kidding hurricane level of wind.

Otherwise though the hurricane parties are as described. Flannel and hazy IPAs.

Wheeeeeee

Cargojet (operating for Prime Air) 767 over-ran 8L at YVR by a lot in the last hour or two, ended up on its nose. I wonder if it's related.

The day I got hired by QX, I was leaving SEA and thankfully did it that morning…that afternoon was insane, they had SEA closed, both floating bridges, no ferries.

Looking back at the Hanukkah Eve wind storm 16 years ago

16 years ago, on the evening of Dec. 14 into early Dec. 15, the storm plowed through the region with wind gusts up to 100 mph.

I live in one of the 50-60 zones. Sharpening the chainsaw and buying more bar oil today. Neighbor has a lot of pre mix. Probably spend the next few days clearing trees from my property. My MTB trip to Ashland canx due to weather anyways.

Flap issue and ensuing overrun, if this is to be believed, evidently.

I was there during that time. The power was out at the hotel for days. It sucked majorly.

God forbid the road curves. Only worse drivers are the Oregons

The memes when they had when they started to pump their own gas were amusing.

Can we get Florida residents to come shoot at it?

It’s been nice having a National Weather Service.
