What a difference a week in weather makes! A week ago, Western Washington was still in a deep freeze. Now, it feels almost balmy outside. Last week, it took several days to erode the sub-freezing air as milder air moved onshore from the Pacific. Some sheltered locations or areas still exposed to winds with colder air blowing in from Eastern Washington and the interior of Western Canada resulted in lingering snow or freezing rain.

But now, all of Western Washington has warmed up and will remain that way this week. Westerly flow from the Pacific is expected to bring a series of weather systems onshore with rain at times and temperatures a little above mid-January averages. Highs will hover around 50 degrees all week, the warmest since early in the month with lows only ranging from the upper 30s to the mid-40s.

It's pretty drippy outside but I have my windows cracked and it feels nice in my unit!

We drove to do a little shopping Sunday morning and noticed that the only snow left was the bit in front of our house where the snow plow had pushed it during the storm. By the afternoon that too was gone. I hope this heat is not going to start plants/trees pushing buds too early to get caught by the next, inevitable freeze in a few weeks.
