The Banana Belt of the Sequim/San Juan Islands area deserves some talk.<br /><br />Here on the East side, I'm in the Okanogan Highlands (FY-1)and the range of precipitation and temperatures within just a few miles is amazing.<br /><br />Thanks for doing Tennessee where I was born, and then WA where I live.<br /><br />MichaelMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077422672752194422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915442507015152354.post-86681217629840264092009-05-18T08:02:00.000-06:002009-05-18T08:02:00.000-06:00Thank you so much for this presentation on Washing...Thank you so much for this presentation on Washington State.

Columbia River). I have to say the weather here is nearly as diverse as that in Texas (During my career we lived in West Texas - Trans Pecos, and SE Texas 35 miles north of the Gulf and about the same from the Louisiana state line). <br /><br />I’ve found an easy reading though comprehensive book about the weather of the Northwest – The Weather of the Pacific Northwest by Cliff Mass. He teaches at Atmospheric Science at the University of Washington in Seattle. Well worth reading for those interested in this region of the country.<br /><br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178891567581366075noreply@blogger.com
