Yesterday’s Winter Storm
Our home prepared for the storm yesterday and I'm thankful that it was just a
practice run with just a few sloshes of water over the bulkhead and our bow was blown off our Christmas wreath.
Now we're in for some record cold temperatures including possible snow!
Bundle up, stay warm and send us your winter or holiday photos to share at Beach Drive Blog.

Howling Winds on Friday: Barking Dog Report
For new readers of Beach Drive Blog, a "Barking Dog Report" is when our home is
preparing for a nasty storm. My husband (fondly) refers to me as a "barking dog" when I think trouble may be near as Inervously pace around the house. Based current forecasts on Friday, I think we could be in for a doozie.
Current Puget Sound Marine Forecast:
…GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING…
FRI…S WIND 15 TO 25 KT…BECOMING SW 25 TO 35 KT MIDDAY. WIND WAVES BUILDING TO 4 TO 6 FT. RAIN.
FRI NIGHT…SW WIND 25 TO 35 KT…EASING TO 20 TO 30 KT LATE. WIND WAVES 4 TO 6 FT…SUBSIDING TO 3 TO 5 FT LATE.
Current City of Seattle Forecast:
FRIDAY…WINDY…RAIN DEVELOPING. HIGHS IN THE 40S. SOUTH WIND 10 TO 15 MPH INCREASING TO 20 TO 30 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON.
FRIDAY NIGHT…WINDY…RAIN CHANGING TO SHOWERS. SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE. LOWS IN THE 30S. SOUTHWEST WIND 20 TO 30 MPH.
Tides for tomorrow (Friday) are a 12.4 at 5:20 am; going down to 8.4 at 10:18 am and swooping up to a 12.1 at 3:01 pm. We have a low of -4.0 at 10:23 pm.
Like all neighborhood barking dogs, I hope I'm wrong for howling about the weather…it's always best to prepare. You can click on the links to receive updated forecasts. Hat tip to "Cat Woman" for bringing the weather to my attention.
Found: Black Lab
Tom Fine sent an email last night stating:
a stocky large black lab, male. No tags or markings. Phone 206-938-2853
Update: Great news: the lost lab has been reuinted with his owner.
The “S” Word
The City of Seattle weather forecast has the "s-word" (snow) beginning Friday night:
FRIDAY NIGHT…RAIN AND SNOW LIKELY. LOWS IN THE LOWER 30S.
and again on Saturday night:
SATURDAY NIGHT…MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S.
Which will make for a chilly, yet pretty viewing of the Argosy Christmas Ships as they cruise by this Saturday.
