Worked better than an alarm clock.

Space Needle panocam never disappoints on a foggy day. #wawx www.spaceneedle.com/webcam

Five spice sweet potato tian is the new traditional contribution to the big family table. 4 years running.

Memorable evening for #wawx

And here's the first TAF for tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Going to have some good crosswinds landing on the 16s at Sea-Tac #wawx

Going to be a windy one for folks in the Hobart-Maple Valley-Black Diamond area tomorrow evening with possible gusts up to 60 mph... Peaking around 8-10PM #wawx

A bit of graupel from this solo cell to start the morning.

A lot of that ash ended up deposited in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, a valley so filled with volcanic features, materials and vents that NASA used it for astronaut training in the mid-1960s.

When the NW wind blows just right it resuspends some of that ash in the air and can impact ops at ADQ

Volcanic Ash Advisory issued for Mount Katmai, a volcano that last erupted in 1912 and over two and half days expelled thirty times as much as as the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Did not realize the Concorde used its own NAT tracks.

And of course the stuck-in-time McDonald’s

What made it even cooler was taking an hour to explore some of the abandoned building around town. Easy horror movie material.

One of the coolest experiences so far at Alaska was a quick trip to Adak Island last year. Lucky to experience it on a sunny and (relatively) calm day for December.

TIL about Hurricane Huron, a cyclone that formed over the Great Lakes in September 1996 and peaked at 992mb with 75 mph winds. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_La...

One of my favorite times of the year for dramatic light and contrast.

Happy #WingFriday to those who celebrate

Rafael vs. a wall of dry air.

Well, let’s start here: a photo from a great backpacking trip this past August.
