In the 60's today, had a great ride on the motorcycle. It is truly lovely in the South, no reason to ever live where it snows.

Alaska storm brings ‘epic’ flooding, snowy weather and strong winds
Quote:
A storm of hurricane-like size with unusual intensity
has begun pounding the western coast of Alaska, bringing huge waves,
high winds, flooding and blinding snow.

A storm of historic intensity continues to pound the west coast of Alaska today.
Twice the size of Texas, the storm is as deep as a category 3 hurricane.
The National Weather Service is calling it a “life-threatening epic storm”
due to its dangerous combination of towering waves (observed at 40 feet in the Bering Sea),
winds over 100 mph, storm surge flooding, and blinding snow.

“People out there are used to extreme weather,
but this is not a normal storm,” said Jeremy Zidek,
a spokesman for the state’s emergency management agency.
“This is of a magnitude that can be a storm of record,
extremely dangerous, and the state is treating it as such.”
Our PDX news media are predicting this storm will reach the Pacific Northwest on Saturday,
and will bring heavy rains to the valleys and snow to the mountains
on thru the middle of the next week

Guess what the East Coast will get for Thanksgiving.

This storm went thru PDX last night. It's scary when the trees are being blown about.
Fortunately, this Doug Fir limb missed the two cars parked here.
(The van was already damaged, so no harm done there)
