This post is about the weather. Not climate, as that's a completely different topic altogether. The weather, is what is happening right now. As climatology an interest of mine that I don't put a whole lot of study into (not anymore anyway), I was extremely happy when this website was passed along the grapevine. Simply put, it's just a super huge radar. But actually, it's a composite image of lots of different radar images, including Canada and the USA, rendering a freaking cool thing. It can rain a lot in the PNW, and sometimes you want to look around and have a laugh at who's being rained on when it's not your turn. Albeit, past few days have been particularly drenching for pretty much the entire Western seaboard.
Here are a few screen shots from the last couple days.

There is a great quote from John Muir: "Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get."
Snow. For the foot board glide styling.
Alex, I like that quote. Muir is a good wordsmith.
