Weather in the Pacific Northwest is a very maritime thing. Today we talk about the 2019-20 winter weather outlook for our region. A lot of it depends on what’s happening in the oceans of the world, around the Equator and the North Pole. We’ll hear the latest from Tillamook meteorologist and emergency manager Gordon McCraw

This month marks the 163rd Birthday of the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse in Ilwaco, Washington, on the Long Beach Peninsula. I learned about this through an interesting Facebook group, run by Peninsula resident Frank Lehn, called Long Beach Peninsula Friends of Facebook. Frank’s posts are all about history and culture of the Peninsula. Great photos and stories about the region!
Today I’m also talking about the history of this venerable landmark and beacon, and why there are two lighthouses very close together in this area of the Oregon Coast.

We used to refer to ships that could just fit through the old Panama Canal locks at “Panamax” ships. They could be no wider than 106 feet in order to shoehorn themselves through the 110 ft wide canal. But with the opening a few years ago of the new, wider Panama Canal next to the old one, that definition has changed a bit. It’s called “New Panamax.”
