  1. I also got to see that eclipse in Wyoming, on the summit of the Grand Teton, there were maybe 20-30 people up there which is by far the most I've see on thst summit, typically it's no more than 5 people. Seeing the shadow of the eclipse move towards you is an unforgettable experience, if any of yall ever have a chance to see an eclipse ontop of a mountain, do it. Here's a few pics, which does ZERO justice for the view. Solar eclipse pics are probably the thing that looks the least like it actually does in person.

  2. Nah. I was involved with two different forums that required some kind of donation drive or squabbling over things like adverts and memberships. The bills average ~150 a month and I can cover it without any issue, so that can rule out a lot of drama. The real reason why some of the upgrades have dragged on or why @hawkstwelve doesn't have SSH access yet is that my time seems to be feast or famine, especially with a kid, a job at FAANG Co, and a side project/startup/fever dream. I still have a kanban board with the following: - recovering deleted posts from the April 2023 forum hack - merging westernwx.info forum - cleaning up storage (unlimited storage is the largest driver of costs, thats why I don't like it when Phil uploads a 40 minutes 8k iPhone video of flurries) - setting up YVR/SEA/PDX High Res WRF and local Graphcast - write a "Looking back on 10 years" post I'll get to this sooner or later.

  3. Been recharging my batteries after finals. Completely done with my CS degree and Math minor! … Assuming I passed! Absolutely gorgeous day at Dash Point earlier at low tide. Still hanging onto 70F imby. Couldn’t get to hike last summer cause of classes, so I look forward to hitting up Rainier and around Lake Crescent for the first time sooner or later.

  8. Pretty nice day up on Mount St Helens in terms of views, although terrible for everything else. 40 degrees at the summit at 8:20am, absolutely no refreeze of snow. Not a cloud in the sky, although there was so much blowing snow at times that the visibility would get low, mountain-forecast was calling for 15mph gusts which was absolute BS, it was gusting 30-40MPH at times. Overall a great day though.

  9. It’ll be good to have warm anomalies. Finally got the kids’ passports last August. We crossed the border on a sunny Saturday in September and hiked around Baker area. All made possible by what makes some squirm. Warm anomalies = outdoor adventures with the kiddos = memories. One would think warm anomalies only means drought & forest fires. Looking forward to Deception Pass with them and some adventures at the Evergreen Speedway.

  10. Down to my last six inches of glacial snowpack, and Whitefish Lake is thawing. Can't wait for blue skies + temps in the mid 50s this weekend.

  11. If we didn't allow off-topic banter in the main thread, this entire forum would cease to exist. Our love of weather is the foundation this place sits on, but it would be a very different and boring place if that's all we ever talked about.

  13. Booked my first tee times of the year for Friday after work and Sunday afternoon and I'm skiing Stevens on Saturday. Told my friends to expect 50 degree sunshine on the slopes and to golf in shorts on Sunday. Gotta make the most of times like this.

  19. Happened to be in Golden for work today (about 10 mi west of Denver, home to Coors), and decided to make the short trip up into the foothills to check out the storm aftermath. Drove up to about 7000', where there was about 3' of compacted snow.

  20. 30 degrees and BEAUTIFUL currently, low of 14, only 1½" of patchy snow remains. Hiking/Skiing the next few days is going to be AMAZING, despite the fact that the snow conditions will be sh1tty by the weekend Went for a hike up tumalo mountain this morning, an amazing but chilly bluebird day.

  25. That all sounds great as far as eventual goals. But I wouldn’t feel too rushed with them, the lack of free time is understandable. It’s just appreciated that you keep this place running period.

  26. I've got to do a PHP and MySQL upgrade in the coming days. Forum might be up and down for a bit this weekend. One of these days I'll containerize the place and put it on top of postgres, and these instance downtimes will be a thing of the past, but I dont make enough money to do that.

  30. He's been fantastic. He posts a lot of the Facebooks. He's been entering a lot of bowling tournaments, even posing for photos with former weather rivals. Good to see his health so improved and him back out and living his best lyfe.

  33. The Magnolia in my front yard is undergoing a major bloomout today. It's getting increasingly colorful outside by the hour as the plants wake up. Tomorrow and Sunday will be spectacular and I can't wait. My SAD is improving already. Also loving how hard this is gonna crash next week. More of a typical 'false Spring' situation compared to the initiation of our annual death ridge. That'll have to wait til April!

  42. I think that would be even more confusing. I don’t like the lost hour of sleep after springing forward either, but it only takes a few days to adjust. Later sunsets are worth it for me.
