Pacific Northwest Weather This Coming Weekend

You didn't answer the question. Why not?

The product of clean combustion of propane is carbon dioxide and water vapour. Same for natural gas(methane).
As long as the appliance is getting enough oxygen, there is not a risk of carbon monoxide being produced from the combustion. Hence, you do need to ensure there's enough ventilation (opening a window, per what watersprite suggested).

If it were not safe, how do propose that people safely use the propane stoves in their RVs?
Or a natural gas stove in their home, for that matter?
 
We're looking at 4 days of rain, two days of cloudy skies, and then a couple more days of rain. Started yesterday. We're also finally getting a good snowpack.

We need the rain. Looks like several days of moderate rates of accumulation. A modest rain over a long period is always best. A short and intense rain of the same amount hits and runs off while a slow rain has time to soak in.

Can you use a propane stove indoors?

I've heard many times that one should never use gas stoves for indoor heat. I suppose it is the same reason they'd say not to use propane. It never made sense to me. If you can safely run a stove for 3 hours to cook a turkey, why would running it intermittently to heat the kitchen and adjoining rooms be a problem? I guess rather than giving instructions on how to do it safely that stupid people won't follow, they rather just tell you that you shouldn't ever. I see that all the time and it drives me nuts.

Same rulz as with using a fireplace for heat.
 
They say only fools and newcomers attempt to predict the weather. I say it's going to dump snow. I predict that it is definitely soup weather. Not a pleasure drive kinda day either.

that was at 9am, there is almost three inches on the ground now. Ho ho ho! Merry christmas!
 
The camp stove thing is important, maybe it's more a fire hazard issue, but sure. In an installed unit, the air for combustion(intake) comes from outside the living area. I think a duty cycle is best, decide on the time running and the time waiting between
 
White Christmas and low in the single digits Monday morning - haven't seen that in over a decade.
 
@watersprite , I'm so sorry. I have been thinking a lot about you. I am unable to private message you, but I just wanted to say that you're in my thoughts and my prayers, many times a day. I mean it. Please stay warm and safe. If you need help, just ask. I'm far away in PDX, but I can try to help.
 
Christmas night I drove 14 miles to get home. Whew...risky business, at least the first half of the drive. In the first mile I encountered high winds causing temporary whiteouts. Forced the SUV in front of me to stop in the middle of the road (couldn't see any lines in the streets) and it made a u-turn and likely gave up. I kept on, driving at times at 15 mph and no faster than 25 mph. Turned out I made a good decision avoiding the freeway, where there was a multiple pile-up of cars that slid on so much ice.

I think the key to my getting home without incident was to stay in the middle of any lane I was in, avoiding the buildup of ice to either side. And not to change lanes because I'd have to drive over those same ice buildups that could easily make your car slide in any direction. Weird ride home anyways. Seeing a few vehicles that slid and crashed into fences, homes and the other few vehicles on the road at night.

Now that I'm home, I'll stay put. Wait out this storm which won't let up until Tuesday. In the meantime I'm enjoying all the visuals of a White Christmas that doesn't show up very often in our High Desert. Happy holidays, people! :)
 
Portland Oregon:

Downtown tonight is almost snow free


But in a nearby suburb it's a winter wonderland



(My neighbor is a goth girl. Can you find her vintage hearse in the background? There are curtains in the windows and everything!)

Supposedly LA County is going to get hit with a big rain event on Wednesday-Thursday of a couple inches. When that happens the mountains usually catch a few feet of snow.
 
-25.5C (-14F) this morning.

That hawk (or whatever kind of bird that is) photobombed my picture. lol. I didn't even see it when I took the pic.

Bitterroots look cold but pretty:

Record snowfall here...but at higher altitudes and not so much the valley floor. Delivering a snowpack that is presently some 239% above the average.

Maybe now water bills around $38 will begin dropping. Sure hope so.

Skiers are delighted. Commuters, not so much. Snow is melting, but there's still lots of ice on the road.

Lows in the teens, highs in the thirties. Helllllllo Winter!
