We're attending a wedding this summer. And, like any prospective wedding guest, before we buy a gift we're going to figure out how likely it is that the couple will eventually divorce.

The National Weather Service says we've got three months of three-dog nights to go. March highs, by the way, were about 7 degrees colder than average. (H/t to the Daily Weekly)

Inspired by the Weekly trolling YouTube looking for video of transformers blowing, we offer you this 23-second clip with not one but two surprise explosions. Our dream would have been to embed this Almost Live! classic on Northwest weather predictions, too, but we can't. So we'll have to tempt you with the "snow mixed with cheese" line to get you to click on the link.

Finally we've found a replacement for clicking updates on political polls--clicking for weather updates on Cliff Mass's blog: "There should be an inch or two by the end of the Wed. morning commute. At this point it looks like temperatures will warm up enough by midday that that the snow might turn very wet or even to rain at the lowest elevations...but we are right on the edge." Then later on Wednesday, another system is headed our way that could bring rain or a lot more snow, depends on how lucky we are. Has anyone read Cliff's book?

"The more I look at the forecast models, the more snow I see. Well, at least those who like a white holiday won't be disappointed." That's the beginning of a snow update post by UW meteorologist Cliff Mass, which went up last night. Not only are we expecting snow on Wednesday--"1-2 inches at low levels near the Sound, 2-4 inches at higher elevations"--but there's a good chance we'll see some on Thursday, too. Mass has also become a snowplow pusher, pointing out: "We have a major snowfall (like this year) every 5-8 years and significant snowfalls 4-8 inches every other year or so." Seattle's current strategy is to squish those inches into compact snow and ice, and just wait for the melt.
