February Weather in the Pacific Northwest

Its not even close to being cold enough to matter though... there is no cold air available.  

 

All this does is prolong the wait until we get some sort of dry break.  

 

YA at this point we just need dry sunny weather. Moss is everywhere. All of this rain is ridiculous. Amazing how wet the northern tier of the west has been.

Wow that is the kind of epic event I want to experience in the modern era. I bet TT location got buried during that time period.

 

“The city’s total snowfall in February that year was 35.4 inches and the total for January and February together was 58.7 inches. “

Lol guys, don’t pay attention the models in the clown range right now. Trust me.

 

If things go as planned upstairs, you’re about to witness some of the wildest model swings in recent memory.

Well it feels like the last several summers have been the hottest since I moved here in 1989 so I'll be shocked if it's not another inferno here.

If we were going to transition to an El Nino, I would totally agree.  I just feel like this summer is going to be cool and kind of gross.  And since I can't read models, that's all I have.

I know the moss has been going wild this month.

Been seeing more birds and other wildlife than I did about a year ago.

 

If the SSW does happen and cold air unleashes into the area, it will be interesting to see what effect it will have on plant life.

That would be really epic to see the cherry blossoms get snow on them.

Daffodil alert here in Maryland, too. This despite lows dropping into the teens/20s on a regular basis over the last three weeks.

I’m telling you, sun angle is 90% responsible for when these guys wake up. They always come up in February regardless of the temperature. Even in February 2015 when it was -5*F with -30*F windchills for a time, these guys were springing to life.

Oh, and we have some wild onion and other weeds that are popping up around the landscape. Nothing can kill these suckers.

That is where we were at here a month ago.

 

Foot tall daffodils on 2/2 is pretty impressive.    Last year we were WAY behind this year.   The grass was still dormant last year at this time.   Weather plays a huge role in the timing.

I saw quite a few times in February the daffodils coming up. But like the winter of 13-14 prevented them from coming up until mid March. Any winter where there was a heavy snow on the ground really.

She’s a b****. Could it be something else, though? Like a Greenland Supermassive Black Hole or something?

FYP.

And it’s back to rain.

 

Good news is that the models keep extending out the rain... still 6 days away despite being 2 days later than the last time I said it was 6 days away.  

 

Turning into a pretty crazy stretch here.  Making me more optimistic about spring though.   And also leaving town soon.   ;)
