Not much time has passed since I took this photo, but since then frost settled, snow fell, air turned icy, a full moon rose, wind blew, and rain fell. So they may already be fallen.

葉落帰根

[Yōraku-kikon | Ha ochite ne ni kisu]
Leaves fall and return to the roots

In broad terms, it means that just as leaves fall and return to the earth to nourish the roots, or everything settles where it should be.

Lowland snow in the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday?

Parts of the Pacific Northwest could see a wintry mix of snow, hail, and graupel today as part of a dynamic system. This is on top of heavy rain west of the Cascades and heavy snow in the mountains.

A cold front will sweep through the region on Wednesday afternoon and evening. This comes one day after the most recent cold front and with the airmass coming in off the Gulf of Alaska the atmosphere is primed for excitement in the Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland metro areas.

Ingalls Weather thanks the support it gets from donors. Please consider making a small donation at this link to help me pay for the website and access to premium weather data.

Unfortunately for snow lovers in the Columbia Basin, not enough of this activity will make it over the mountains to produce snow in lowland areas like the Tri-Cities1 or Yakima.

Now, before you board the hype train, it is important to note that lowland snow accumulations will be minimal if there is any accumulation at all and what does accumulate will melt quickly. WSU AgWeatherNet reports soil temperatures in the low-40s (near 5ºC) throughout Western Washington. The same can be expected for nearby areas.

The isolated snow chance begins around 14:00 in most of Western Washington, the Lower Mainland, and Western Oregon but not everyone will see snow. Heavier rain showers could (but are not guaranteed to) lower the snow level down to sea level briefly.

This is because evaporation is a cooling process and with heavy rain comes evaporation. In addition, strong storms pull down a modest amount of cool air from up above. Because the snow chance will be tied to shower activity it is difficult to say who will be the recipient of frozen precipitation this afternoon.

The highest chance of snow reaching down to sea level is in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia where wet bulb temperatures are forecast to be near 0ºC. The wet bulb temperature is essentially the lowest temperature that can be achieved due to evaporational cooling (though that description is admittedly a little oversimplified).

The low freezing level will also foster small hail development. We’re generally looking for pea sized hail or even smaller, not something that would cause any damage. Isolated thunder is possible in some of the stronger storms.

This kind of weather pattern is common during and after a strong frontal passage in the Pacific Northwest during the cold season. Wintertime cold fronts don’t often lower temperatures all that much in Vancouver, Seattle, or Portland because at the surface we are still pulling in relatively warm air off the Pacific where water temperatures are around 50ºF (10ºC).

Temperatures a few thousand feet up do drop, however, amplifying convective activity. When we talk about convection in meteorology we’re usually talking about how quickly warm air can rise into colder air. When there is a large temperature difference between the relatively warm surface and the relatively cold mid- and upper-levels this action is more pronounced.

The convective activity isn’t particularly impressive but could still cause some travel headaches. This is especially true if snow or hail ends up falling in an urban area. Remember that bridges ice before other roadways so use caution if you observe one of these snow or hail showers.

Just came back from a treacherous pre-dawn hike in the . Started off with a wintery mix of and freezing rain. A lot of the snow on the roads melted just enough to be coated in black ice. Once on the trails, there was enough old crunchy snow for stable traction. Barely any wind and just the soft pitter-patter of the now tapping the snow.

Incredibly peaceful...until I crossed paths with *five* coyotes. And that was my cue to turn back. The first two scattered when they saw me. The remaining three were hidden in the brush about 15 feet from me. Their eyes lit up like Times Square when I scanned the area with my headlamp.

Here in the is a wolf/coyote hybrid. They are the size of German Shepherds and do *not* fear .

On a side note: I run a dual system. A 1,000 one mounted on my head and an 850 lumen one secured to my sternum strap as a flood light. This flexible gives me two *independent* sources. Had I only been using the flood light I wouldn't have even seen them.

Good morning!

통일교 한학자 억대 횡령 자백, 검찰이 7년 뭉갰다 newstapa.org/article/QGGP1 "종교법인 재산을 법조 로비 명목으로 건네는 행위는 박 씨가 실제 로비를 벌였는지 여부와 관계 없이 ‘업무상 횡령죄’로 처벌될 수 있다. 이민석 법률소비자연맹 사무총장(변호사)은 “법조 로비라는 부정한 명목으로 통일교 자금을 쓴 것은 종교법인의 목적사업으로 보기 어렵기 때문에 업무상 횡령죄가 될 수 있다”며 “업무상 횡령은 공소시효가 10년이니 공소시효도 남아있다”고 설명했다."
