More Pineapples - March 12
We are in the middle of another pineapple express, or atmospheric river, as Cliff Mass calls the warm air masses laden with high water vapor that originate near Hawaii. For us in the Pacific Northwest it means days of heavy rain. Next glimpse of sun is forecast in 7 days. Oh well, its called Wetcoast for a reason. But couldn't the temperatures be just a little colder so it would snow on the local hills?
