PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Anyone here headed to AMS in Seattle next week and want to discuss the weather? I, for one, am looking forward to experience true Pac NW rain storms on Monday/Tuesday. With this being one of the very few times AMS doesn't hold the meeting in the sun belt (I can't wait for Boston 2020), I'm very interested in taking a trip up to one of the passes to experience some pretty insane snow depths if I can find them.

I'm getting into town Sunday morning. Weather seems to be looking surprisingly dry for next week given it is Seattle. Never been to the Pac NW before, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. Hoping to get some time on Sunday to explore the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looks like whatever storm system NWS Seattle was originally forecasting for M/T has disappeared from the models. Great news as I'm hoping for some great shots of the area from the space needle!

baroclinic_instability Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You will have to head to the Olympic Mtns and Hurricane Ridge--looks epic out there. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jtref/3002466387/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only temperate rain forest in the country! I don't know if I'll have the time though :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only temperate rain forest in the country! I don't know if I'll have the time though :\ Pacific NW--IMO--has the most unique and challenging weather patterns in the CONUS. The terrain and forests are equally epic--almost a different world out there. Hopefully you guys have time to either see the Olympics or Mt Rainier. If the weather is nice I guess you may see it anyways. 13,000 feet of topographic prominence! Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'll have the time though :\ Sigh... this was our problem. I was trying to plan a trip for me and a few friends to go to the Hoh Rainforest but just couldn't figure things out as far as schedules and rental car. As it is I think we are going to try and visit Rainer and maybe St. Helens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Someone should take the 3-hour trip down to Portland one day to visit me. Or maybe I'll go up there some day next week, if anyone wants to hang out or go see the sights or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoAko Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'll be there! First time to the PAC NW too! It is my first AMS conference so I'm not exactly sure how much free time I'll have but I'm sure I'll at least get to see the area which is awesome.
