I had a low of 34 here on July 4, 2012.

 

At Silver Falls I believe their latest freeze on record was July 12 and the earliest freeze on record is August 15th.

In 2012 my last hard freeze was a low of 28 on May 18th

 

In 2013 my last hard freeze was a low of 25 on May 1st.

 

Here are my last sub 32 lows past 3 years I've experienced.

31 on 06/09/2012

30 on 06/14/2013

 

I don't know what the record latest is though, but it is sometime in July. I've experienced one night in the low 30's in late August last year.

 

I've heard reports of late night snow on 4th of July a few times here, but don't know where I'd find the info for earliest or latest freeze.

Wow!  Only about a month that hasn't experienced a freeze there.   Few places east of the Rockies have pulled that off.

Looked it up I was off by a couple days. Latest freeze was 7/13/1970. Earliest was 8/20/1947.

 

The warmest summer time record low is 39. Of course this is well away from any UHI and in a shallow valley at 1300'. 

 

Last summer was very warm for lows even up here though. We had several lows above 60.

Last freezes at SLE the past few years.

 

2013: April 30

2012: May 10

2011: April 19

2010: March 19

2009: April 4

 

 

Most recent freeze at SLE this year was March 23rd, so no matter what they will have a later last freeze date then 2010.

 

SLE has a good shot at another freeze later next week, IMO. Thursday or Friday morning.

Just got back from an incredible day hiking in the Badger Creek Wilderness, and getting dinner at The Clock Tower brewery in The Dalles afterward.

 

Really love the eastern foothills of Mt. Hood. Beautiful area.

 

Have you ever been to Badger Lake?

No, strangely I have never been there. I have done most other trails in the area, though.

 

I tend to hit Badger Creek Wilderness earlier in the season, when the higher western parts of the wilderness are still snowbound. School Canyon Trail, which traverses a pine-oak grassland to a high saddle near the eastern edge of the wilderness, is one of my favorites.

 

When I do get up that way in midsummer, I usually end up hiking Lookout Mountain.

Not quite true. Almost all of the interior NE has accomplished that. I was in NH during July 2009 and morning temps fell into the 20s more than once.

Obviously the Upper Midwest and New England are the exceptions.  The West does much better at coming up with frost in the summer than the East.

The WRF shows it's going to take forever for the Puget Sound region to really clear out this week.  This time of year just royally sucks here.

Tomorrow's front was supposed to come through in the late evening or overnight... now its coming in during the morning and will be a crappy day up here.

 

Then the weekend ridge is getting squashed very quickly with each model run.

 

Everything is moving faster and stronger than the models show in the 4-6 day period.     Really sucks because we will probably watch a nice weekend slowly get taken away with each run this week.

Yeah, like I was saying about a week ago, the five consecutive days in the upper 70s to around 80 down here that the Euro was advertising for this work week looked suspicious. I know you really wanted it to happen, but early April climo won out. ;)

Sat here all weekend watching it rain and now its nice when we all have to work on Monday... have a feeling the nice weather shown for next weekend will slowly disappear again.

Your location sucks for sure. It was beautiful up here yesterday, mostly sunny morning, partly cloudy afternoon. It is cloudy here today but it should break up soon. I am ready for some warmer weather though, I think I have only cracked 60 once so far this year.

Warm fronts like the one yesterday result in the most disgusting weather at my location.      The drizzle never ends.   

 

Today my location will be the warmest spot in the region.

The fine details on the ECMWF maps nailed yesterday at my location perfectly.

 

It showed drizzle almost all day while the WRF showed almost perfect sunshine!        

 

I knew the WRF was a complete joke... and this just reinforces what I have said about the detailed ECMWF maps.    They pick up on fine details incredibly well.    The difference can absolutely amazing at times.

Stop focusing on the positive so much!! ;)

 

Two weekends in a row with really crappy weather here and then beautiful weather on Monday has me sort of pissy about the timing right now.   

 

I have a sinking feeling about next weekend which looked solid just yesterday.

By the way Jesse... I was the first one to point out the fact that the ridge on the ECMWF would likely crash much quicker than shown last week.

No, actually you mocked me when I pointed out the possibility, and said it would for sure happen the other way since I predicted a quick breakdown.

No... I jokingly said you jinxed yourself.

 

My first post about the ridge was that the tendency will be towards crashing earlier and stronger.    I said that I was skeptical of the ECMWF solution.

12Z ECMWF makes me feel a little better about the weekend.

 

The problem is that the GFS showed the current ridge crashing sooner last week and it was right.     It might have a better handle on the situation right now.   That does happen at times.

71 degrees here... first time at or above 70 this year.   

 

You can practically watch the leaves on the trees opening up right now.

Dude there's not a cloud in the sky over there. Looks like you're having a decent spring compared the rest of the country..

Yeah... not a cloud in the sky today.    Could not see 50 feet yesterday with drizzle and fog... and it will be dumping rain tomorrow afternoon again.

 

Overall it has not been too bad the last couple weeks after the endless rain of March.    The timing has really sucked here... with crappy weather the entire weekend the last 2 weeks.    That is not fun when you want to be outside working.    March was a mess here.    But we were due for a really bad month.    April is playing more fair.
