Welp…
Hot damn… it's actually *snowing* here
Puget Sound lowlands, at about 250 feet above sea level on an island surrounded by 50 degree salt water 600 feet deep off to the east toward the mainland
Doppler radar on Precip Depiction mode shows a good-sized wedge of cold blue air pointing out to the west, so it looks like it may keep snowing for a while

#Greece, #Spain and #Portugal race to contain #wildfires as #EU steps up cross-border help
By DEREK GATOPOULOS and SUMAN NAISHADHAM
August 14, 2025ATHENS, Greece (AP) — "Fire crews in Greece, Spain and Portugal raced to contain wildfires on Thursday, taking advantage of calmer winds that slowed the blazes even as much of southern Europe remained at high risk under hot, dry conditions.
"A drop in wind speeds allowed firefighting aircraft in the three hard-hit countries to step up water drops, concentrating on existing fire zones rather than chasing fast-moving fronts. Authorities warned that #ExtremeTemperatures are likely to persist.
"Spanish authorities reported the death of a 37-year-old volunteer firefighter who sustained severe burns in an area north of #Madrid this week. It was the third reported death in Spain due to the recent fires. Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes in the region and still can not return.
"In Greece, the Fire Service said a major blaze outside the southern port city of #Patras has been contained on the outskirts of urban areas after a large-scale deployment. Three people have been arrested in connection with the fire, which authorities said may have been deliberately set.
"#HighWinds in Greece shifted to different parts of the country on Thursday. Ioannis Kefalogiannis, the civil protection minister, said authorities were bracing for the likelihood of a new round of major fires."
