Gulf of Alaska Storms: West Coast Storms

» Maureen Fleury - West Coast Storms

Hi Keith:
I found your article very interesting, considering I live on the west coast of Canada. I knew the storms occured more frequently in the winter but I just didn't know why.

We have a phenomena here called the "Pineapple Express" and that is where the storms come across the Pacific from the southwest. We have warm weather and lots of rain.

You have painted a very accurate picture of the never-ending rain that can happen during the winter months.

Thank you for a very informative article. I've always been fascinated by the weather and I'll certainly come back and read more of your articles.
