Hey, GW will stop his griping about April showers now.The Bucs went to Mile High City and played the Rockies in late-inning snow.Played pretty darn well, too, taking a 3-0 win in Clint Hurdle's return to the old stompin' grounds.

Practically everything GW likes to see, he saw tonight.The fire was sickly again (10 Ks), but two of the six hits left the yard.

Toots andI were up and at them at 4AM this morning. Did a bit of washing and were out the threshold by 6:30. Cruised my regular spots with out much shooting. Lots of birds just not much easy or on the wrong side of the fall when there was. We rolled on to the Hospital about 8:30.
RA had, had a full night. Slept pretty good and was not crazy to her stomach. We got her in the lavish and she was loving that.

SNOW LYRICS - HOLLOW

Send "Snow" ringtone to your cell

The date: September 2nd 1930

We sailed from Boston harbor, leaving eagerly

A request of knowledge do we crave

Mustered for the affair were men of righteous stance

Nineteen men of science and I, with inquiring minds

Towards the south pole do we sail

If a snowman came to life, what would he do?

If he had any sense, he`d heard north, sharpish.

Although historically, they run to buy young guys in old guys dressing gowns and carry them flying while younger boys sing. They even pop down our way, and fly near the Pavilion. (Looking back at the Snowman now, living in Brighton and learned the downs a little, it makes the nostalgia feel homely and alien.

Cliff Mass Weather Blog: Convergence Zone Snow in April!

Bellevue, WA snow around 8 PM at 200 ft ASL.Picture courtesy of Julia Ziobro

Today we had a strong convergence zone and with cool air aloft the answer was that in the heavier convergence showers the snow level was determined to the surface over some of the lowlands.

This morning dawned with a spectacular convergence zone over the north Sound.

Just beautiful.

The Alaska Avalanche Information .

12 mile: 31 F
Valdez airport, harbor and Sugarloaf Snotel: 32 F

The NAM is giving a number of 1.50" of liquid through 10 pm this eve and considering the fact that the Head is starting out colder than expected. at least half of that liquid could equate to 10-12" and as temperatures get a little milder with the nearing of the face this afternoon snow amounts will be smaller. We are even look at amounts up to 2 feet. Winds are even on tap to increase today as the frontal boundary nears. Another 0.40" of fluid is expected to come tonight through Friday which would be to 3 or 4 inches.

Older post:

It's been a while since we have seen a full luck for up to 2 feet of snow above 2500 ft. A real deep low will track north into the Behring Sea and offer an occluded front our way. As the front nears us the southerly flow aloft will increase and bring moisture with it in the frame of coke for lots of the region starting Thursday morning. Once the open region of the face makes it through the country by Thursday afternoon then it should be capable to pull milder air (forcing the precip. to mix with rain or changing to rain altogether) into the Port and tied into the Lowe River valley just under the Pass. Also the strong southerly flow will also induce chinook winds north of the Head which would provide for temperatures into the 30s and 40s and rain. If this happens then when the precipitation ends by Friday night then there could be a considerable quantity of fog that develops in the areas that see rain. Gusty east to south winds to 35 mph will be experienced at the Pass (Thursday) but since the blow will be wet it likely won't get blown around as often as drier snow would.

Nice webcam shot of the Hand this morning.Thanks to high pressure building in ahead of the warm front. Winds were still with temperatures at 26 degrees at the clock of this writing.

This morning's run of the GFS gives us 39 mm (1.53") of swimming and if you have been following the posts it has been fluctuating from 1.50 all the way up to 2.00". At any place we could see a foot and a half of the white stuff fall at the Head and higher amounts in the colder reaches of higher elevations. Once the movement moves through expect southerly flow to fall in strength which will slow down the inflow of moisture. Could see showery weather Friday evening through the weekend. Showers are sometimes difficult to call so there is the opportunity to see a small bit more snow over the weekend. But we will experience a respectable measure of dusty air above us combined with the stronger April sun with available moisture we should see some decent showers around.

Temperatures should be near freezing from the Run up to around 3500 ft during this snow event. There could be some clearing north of the Pass Friday night, but fog may prevent temperatures from cooling off. Expect 20s at nighttime and 30s during the day over the weekend.

The lookout for next week we will see a passage to a convention with a ridge over the Bering Sea and offshore flow. This will bring moderately strong gap winds, drier conditions, more sun, cooler temperatures especially in the mornings with temperature inversions but by late morning into afternoon expect them to break. The upper ridge in the Bering will avail to get some colder Siberian air downward into Alaska, but the heat of the sun should serve to change the air mass faster than if it were the heart of the winter.

This is the NAM forecast of moisture centered over Valdez. you can see how rich the moisture is from the rise all the way up to 30,000 feet ahead of the occluded front.

Glory Farm: Snow Fleas

It's getting a bit later in the flavor to see snow fleas, but I thought I'd post about them anyways. I first discovered snow fleas about 15 days ago when I saw little black specks jumping on top of the snow. They aren't really fleas, but they are insects. I looked them up and plant some information:

Casting News: Lily Collins is the Other Snow White

Deadline (and everyone else) reports that Lily Collins has been put as Snow Whitened the that I believe iscalled "Brothers Grimm: Snow White," otherwise known as "the one with Charlize Theron as the Glamour and not Kristen Stewart as Snow White directed by Tarsem Singh." It is not the one called "Snow White and the Huntsman," otherwise known as "the one with Julia Roberts as the Glamour and Kristen Stewart as Snow White but probably not Viggo Mortensen as the Hunstman." This Singh/Theron/Collins one also stars Armie Hammer as the hilariously named Prince Andrew Alcott (speaking of hilarious, check out this rundown of Singh`s appearance at Wonder-Con for his next movie, "The Immortals").

Collins is better known for her appearing in "The Blind Side" where, I`m guessing, she somehow managed to not be entirely overwhelmed by Hurricane Sandra. She`s in the upcoming "Priest" with Paul Bettany and "Abduction" with Taylor Lautner. And she`s also the girl of pop star Phil Collins, who, somewhat sadly, is best known now as thesinger of some truly dreadful soft rock hits than the right stuff he did early in his career, such as his 1st solo hit "In the Air Tonight" and as a drummer, and later lead singer,with `70s art rock band Genesis. He also started out as a minor actor (okay, here is where I must concede that I know way too often about Phil Collins because of an older sibling`s love of that early `70s art rock, which she passed on to me. Yes, I can sing whole songs from early Genesis albums, and I think the ones that last 8 or 9 minutes. Ihum the lush, orchestral, faintly medieval instrumental parts).

On IMDb, Collins is listed as having a few more movies in pre-production, but more notably issupposed to bestarring as Juliet in a new "Romeo and Juliet" that is aforesaid to be "in production." I don`t know if this is quite true, since she is the only cast member they let down so far, so it probably is not really in production, unless it`s a revisionist version that will eventually be retitled "_& Juliet."

This Snow White, on the other hand, is set to go into production for a June 29, 2012 expiration date. This will put it well forward of the former one, that won`t be released until December 21, 2012. So next year you`ll get enough of time to do Snow White comparison shopping.

Laura Marling - Goodbye England (Covered In Snow) Lyrics

Send "Goodbye England (Covered In Snow)" ringtone to your cell

You were so smart then in your crown and coat

My softest red scarf was warming your throat

Winter was on us at the end of my nose

But I never love England more than when covered in snow

But a champion of mine says it's right to hear
