Here is my weekly weather quiz question. What is “Lake Effect Snow? 

_________________

Another  Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is moving slowly eastward with an Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) moving in behind it to clear skies and keep us dry for  bit. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that moved through the Pacific Northwest and the next one behind it.  The graphics for days 3-7  Sunday through Thursday show the continuing series of complex frontal systems that will slide into the Pacific Northwest through the period.

Note: Willamette Pass, Hoodoo, and Mt. Ashland  are still open for skiing. With the heavy snow pack the ski season is booming. Check their Web Sites for specific dates and times of operation.

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Kinetic Energy? Here is the correct answer.  Kinetic Energy is energy that a body has as a result of its motion. Mathematically, it is defined as one-half the product of a body’s mass and the square of its speed (KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared).

Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “Kinetic Energy? Here is the correct answer.  Kinetic Energy is energy that a body has as a result of its motion. Mathematically, it is defined as one-half the product of a body’s mass and the square of its speed (KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared).

Another  Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is sending more moisture to the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show the cold front that moved through the Pacific Northwest and now a warm front will usher in more rain with another cold front following close behind it. The graphics for days 3-7  Tuesday through Saturday show the series of complex frontal systems that will slide into the Pacific Northwest through the period.
