A normal winter day in Seattle is in the upper 30s to low 50s, and probably wet. Hitting the teens is a record low in my going on 13 years out here. After some morning playtime, frosty cameos are in my mind… post ‘em!
And something a bit older…

The snow was from the last couple days ❄️

Welcome to the club. I was shoveling snow this morning.

Seahawks game yesterday
Pretty wild watching a game being played in the snow in Seattle. I thought initially Chicago was the home team.

@airplanenut love the frosty dog LOL. My dogs always loved sticking their heads in the snow.

On our walk last night he just stuck his nose to the ground like always and was off!

Sorry I’m in northern Ohio and it’s 55 and raining. On the bright side I only need a light jacket, and the re-acclimation to Florida in a few days will be easy.

Yep, pretty cold and my furnace is on the fritz - can't get the furnace company to respond (Brennan Heating). Fortunately it will run for a few hours with a power off-on reboot.
My Granddaughter enjoyed eating the snow - got a snow beard!

@Lakesammman Hate to see you cold in this weather.
Many times with the modern furnaces the flame sensor causes problems, it's very easy to clean it.
Google furnace flame sensor cleaning and watch a few videos.
Feel free to PM me if you still have questions after watching a few vids.
Obviously not a big problem in Florida, but we had a similar sounding problem last year. We had installed a high Merv filter for the blower when running the AC, for my wife’s allergies. Turned out it was incompatible with the blower in furnace mode, as the air flow was insufficient for the sensor. The furnace would run for awhile, then shut off. The serviceman said use a cheap low Merv filter in the winter. Problem solved.

You have to wipe away a whole lot of condensation 😂
Genius me decided 11pm last night was a good time to install a new thermostat. Figured out why it wasn’t turning on the furnace around 2am with a workaround, and then fixed it for real this morning
Spent Christmas with our daughter and her husband a few hours south and had to hit the road early in an effort to beat the storm heading back home. It was snowing fairly heavily for the last hour or so northward. By the time we got home, there was already three inches on the ground. Pretty crazy cold for us in that it was down in the low teens. A few miles away it dropped to only 6 degrees F. Likely a record.
Happy to have a supplemental wood burning stove which is keeping us nice and toasty!
The poor hummingbirds are really struggling though! We’re having to swap out feeders every hour or so before they freeze up.
Edited to add: My best frosty cameo.

Sunset on the local "frosty ice cream cone" (Mt. Rainier) on a rare clear day about a week before the White Christmas.
In the twenty years I lived in Seattle, I saw temperatures in the teens a few times - not many. And a couple of big snow storms, also infrequent. Usually quite a moderate area, though a lot of rain in the winter. Cheers, RickO

Kennedys are my quest...
On Sunday morning, visited by blacktail deer on my property, east of Seattle. This deer was first recorded in English by William Clark in his journal on November 19, 1805 at what is now the WA coast "Some curious deer on this Coast darker large bodied short legs pronged horns and the top of the tale black under part white as usual... The deer of this Coast differ materially from our common deer [whitetail]." On February 19, 1806 Meriwether Lewis called this deer "black tailed fallow deer of the coast."

Still cold in Bellingham this morning, several miles north. Our local stratovolcano Mt. Baker in the distance.

I can remember 1991 and 1983 with temps in the teens and the thermometer stuck below 32 for over three day.
I was a journeyman plumber then and the freeze up repairs here in Western Washington kept me hopping. Check your hose bibbs every 12 hours.
Over.
