A little snow on the ridge behind our house

I think T-Town does all his Kucheraing during cocktail hour

Most spots are within a degree of normal. PDX once again representing the extreme in one direction.

Raining and sticking in God’s Country!!

I do like my Starlink! Especially since cord number 4 still works and has not fried in over a year like the other 3 did. Suck it HughsNet!!!

I knew I was going to see a post like this after seeing snow out your way while crossing the ship canal bridge.

I mean, unlike you, I don't hate America, so I hope BYD doesn't sell cars in the United States without a proper review from the WTO. I've got a Model S, it drives great, plenty fast, and a 10% to 80% charge takes about 15 minutes at a Supercharger. Charging at home means that I rarely have to think about range, but when I have to during a road trip, I hit about 400 miles. While I don't agree with your stance that Mao was actually a great guy or that America would be a much better nation had the Wobblies lynched Bill Boeing (again, your views, not mine), I do agree with you that the Cybertruck looks like garbage. Well, that one giant ass wiper blade, cheap interior, and carrot shaving edges. Looking forward to the company getting a new CEO one day soon.

No. Satellite image shows just forest.

No snow here. Just another dry arctic blast just like January was. Low of 37. Currently 39.

Wow that mountain doesn’t even have snow in January!

Dusting of snow on Mt. Si even with leafed out trees on this chilly morning... precip has ended now. ECMWF shows there will be a decent amount of sun this afternoon across the area with some pop up showers later.

06Z GFS says just get through today and spring will return.

More hate-watching for our favorite troll: Outstanding interview. I loved the back and forth with Jon's points about the U.S. being total hypocrites about our stated goals and framed arguments for our actions, and David's simple response is "And so we've got to make a really hard and bad choice, which is, do we want to be the one trying to-- to fill that void with our technology and our principles, understanding that we violate them all the time? Or do we want to let an authoritarian regime go fill that space, which we know how that's going to look?" A simple yet incredibly hard to refute response. We are the most benevolent imperialist power. We f*ck up a lot of stuff around the world, but do you want them to fix things or us? The other interesting point that is pretty obvious is that China will throw as much as it can into catching up to TSMC, whether it is by ingenuity or theft, and as soon as they are, Taiwan is theirs. Will the U.S. go to war over that? Dunno. There's no going back to fix our mistakes, and competition is really heating up around the world. The next few decades are going to be very interesting.

Not expecting much rain here overnight or tomorrow. It's looking like Thursday may be my best shot. I'm so tired of drought!

Some flakes mixing in here currently.

No surprise. Mt. Si is 4,167 feet high. Permanent snow and ice does not generally start in the Washington Cascades until a peak is well over the 6,000 foot mark.

They are. https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-why-teslas-stainless-steel-cybertrucks-may-be-rusting/

well dang, I figured we'd find a rare ice age holdout

I wish my grandfather was still alive to see EVs. He had a depression era mindset and was obsessed with gas prices. When his old beater car broke he got a Prius and loved the gas mileage of that thing. I guarantee he would have a Model 3 right now and would have figured out where all of the free level 2 charging stations are located.

12z GFS shows some pretty dead weather for us the next week at least. Not a single system making it through and temps running consistently 4-6 degrees above normal.

Probably much much more snow under the trees. At least during a normal snowpack year. Hiking in the Cascades for years, the differences in snowpack between the north side of an exposed peak and the south side can be pretty shocking.

Below average Precip. In some places well below.

We might need Phil to get involved with this complex discussion.

Sun is coming out here too!

What are the ratios? Do you think Kuchera applies here?!

Sunny here! Summer is saved!

Very close, 14.57". And those two April's followed my driest since 2010 at least, 0.52".

If this April does end up well below normal for precip across the region, it will join the following years from the past 20: 2021, 2020, 2016, 2015, 2008, 2007, and 2004. Doesn't appear to be much correlation to following summer weather or fire season. Best matches ENSO wise would be 2016 and 2007.

Tiny coating of slush here. @Meatyorologist called it! SEA radar is down as of 45 minutes ago so can't tell if more is coming but c-zone appeared to be falling apart when it went down.

That truck is such an ugly POS that barely functions as a truck. I really wonder about the longevity of stainless steel - really feels like a rusty nightmare waiting to happen. The only good looking car they've ever made was the OG Model S.

When I was little I was inside watching Saturday morning cartoons and my mom was outside working in the flower beds. We had the windows open to air out the house, and my mom started yelling for me. I ran to the window and she yelled at me to hurry up and close the windows. I looked up the street and I could see this huge green cloud blowing down the street headed our way, and as the gust wall hit each tree, the tree shook off a bunch of pollen that added to the cloud. It was pretty wild.

Right after my corneal abrasion healed up and I was getting over my sinus infection, I got a face full of pollen while trimming a tree last week. Almost sent me back to square one thanks to my allergies, but I think I am recovered from that now, just have to limit my time outside while my immune systems settles down. Growing up in Georgia, I am very much accustomed to things being covered in a very thick green film, and when it would rain, puddles would have a thick layer of green on the surface. When I moved out to the Willamette Valley, then up to Bellingham, I never saw that. Once in a while you could just barely see a fine dusting of pollen but that's it. The past couple of years the pollen has been really thick up here, rivaling a "typical" Georgia spring.

Radar shows a hole in the line moving into Cedar Rapids. It'll probably be June before we get a decent thunderstorm.

The storms don't like eastern Kentucky these last couple days.

SLE, downtown Portland, and Seattle WFO also all within a degree of average.

Radar sure doesn't look like a severe event. It's just a wide band of showers with embedded brief downpours.

Some sun... and still a little snow on the ridge.

I know who you are talking about. Kinda a nut job.

Kryten from Red Dwarf + DeLorean + normal pickup + normal EV = Cybertruck

And waste the next 2-3 hours? I’m good

Only a dusting but it was pretty wet.

Though I think it might be coming as I look west here at work, and looking at the radar.

On that side.

They later reverted back to a marginal for all of KY, and last night nothing developed in the Jackson CWA.. There were a couple severe warned storms south and east of Louisville and something way up in northern WV before those.

Is that a toaster?

Saw Tesla LIVE at the Roseland on 12/27/95. Exactly one month later it SNOWED.

I like my Model Y. I’ve had it for 4 months. I’ve never used the Tesla charging stations so can’t comment on those. They are starting to install chargers on residential streets in Seattle attached to the power poles, those are going to be on every block eventually. Would never buy that monstrosity that is a Cybertruck. It’s too bad that Tesla is headed to the toilet after so much promise. The smaller Rivian that looks like a Subaru is going to fly off the shelves when it is released. Hopefully BYD starts selling cars in North America soon as well.

Was kinda pretty down on the Vancouver waterfront earlier.

Day 3 on Saturday. Impending doom with the rainband that was coming. Mountain pics at 9:00 am; 2:45 pm. Cascade got socked in about 10 minutes after but Vista still had visibility.

This is quite a development. Last night it was a generic t'storm risk almost not including my area.
