Welcome to The Weather at Brae Crest 
Low pressure The remnants of Typhoon Melor slammed in to northern California, but the whole anomaly dropped the barometric pressure to the second lowest pressure my weather station has recorded: 29.06 inches. That's pretty low, but not nearly as low as the all-time low of 28.671 inches from January 4, 2008!
Cold FrontAn 86 degree day rapidly cooled as a marine push literally blew through this evening. This NEXRAD animation shows the faint line of the front as it moves through like a shockwave. 
April Fools SnowA cold layer at 1500 allowed the rain to drop through and lower the temps enough to allow it to snow quite heavily this morning. No accumulation as the surface temp was still 38-40degrees. Yesterday a brief front passed through and gave my weather station its highest average windspeed of 9.5 mph, however this was nothing compared to the 140 winds at Camp Muir, with an 81 mph minimum speed.
March SnowCrazy convective snow today. Cell after cell rolled through as some cold BC air slid under some moister, warmer air in place in western Washington. 2 inches fell, but didn't stay long, but it was some neat weather action.
Its a Real White Christmas!It has been a heck of a December in Bothell. December gave is a low temperature of 11.5 degrees, which is the lowest temperature I can recall experiencing in the area. Also, winter storm after winter storm left Bothell with 19 inches of total snowfall, with 12-16 inches on the ground!
Most wonderful of all was our White Christmas, which found Seattle with the most snow on the ground for December 25 since 1861. A very small convergence zone is giving us a dose of snow that most of the rest of King County is missing out on.
Yesterday's weather videoNotice how the trees are still in the morning then start "vibrating" around 11am and through the rest of the day. Click "read more" to view the video.
First fall storm of 2008Fall blew in with a weak but deep low pressure system this week. It was the lowest barometric reading since the super deep low of January 4. At around 4 am, the pressure hit a low of 29.111 (985.69 millibars), a very low pressure by any standard.
The 12 hour view makes it very evident how the wind started after the low passed.
24 hour view:
Month to date really shows how dramatic the low was:
