  1. The WEEKEND CURSE is showing up. or WEEKEND BLESSINGS depending on how you want to look at it
  2. I feel sorry for those who feel like they can’t enjoy life unless it’s 45 degrees and drizzling.
  3. The inter-hour readings round to the nearest Celsius. A 20.6C reading would round to 21 and show as 69.8, but in reality is 69.1.
  4. Looks like Aurora is the first inland westside station to hit 70. Beautiful day! Spring is in the air!
  5. This always seems to be a rough time of year for model accuracy.
  6. Kind of on topic… a huge portion of LAKE COUNTY has just been declared an International Dark Sky Sanctuary, one of 19 in the world. More of SE Oregon may follow soon. https://darksky.org/news/outback-dark-international-dark-sky-sanctuary/
  7. Just a few short miles away from Corvallis now. The skies are clearer currently than anything I saw in California in the last two days. Lol
  8. Back in Oregon now. Stopping in Medford.
  9. The calmest climate in the world is in the deep Antarctic interior. It has been identified as one of the best spots on the planet to build an observatory in. We do know Antarctica is capable of colder than the -128 record at Vostok, satellites have recorded temps into the -140s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridge_A https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2018/06/28/its-almost-like-another-planet-coldest-temperature-on-earth-recorded-in-antarctica/?sh=5ca813754054
  10. IIRC, this data comes from a 1960-66 POR or something like that. Most likely it is even hotter now. This place is actually a tourist attraction in Ethiopia.
  11. There’s a pretty funny book called The Sex Lives of Cannibals that is set in Kiribati albeit on a different island. If you like Bill Bryson’s books you’ll probably like it. Also, IIRC whether that rainy season occurs at all in a given year depends heavily on ENSO.
  12. 57 and mostly cloudy. Nice weather and nice campus.
  13. Weenie = good post Downvote = great post Puke = post of the day
  14. 46 and drizzle in Chico currently, which is the low. Forecast high is 60.
  15. You're missing this at the end of your post ->
  16. Getting close to Chico finally. Been raining steadily and pretty good since Mt Shasta City. 48 at Red Bluff, it seems like the Chico sensor is malfunctioning.
  17. Would be a nice place to have a vacation home. IIRC your wife’s family has ties to the Wintu tribe? Now in the Sacramento Canyon between Dunsmuir and Redding, pouring rain now. Some places here exceed 70” of annual rainfall yet still average highs above 95 in July/August. Really weird combination of high rainfall and hot summers that doesn’t really exist anywhere else in the Western US.
  18. Better view in WEED. Cleared up a bit close up. Beautiful!
  19. Now across the state line. Grass is pretty green in Yreka area, at least compared to how it is in summer. Shasta is up in the clouds, though.
  20. Not the best pic, but the Siskiyous have a fresh coat of snow. Beautiful panoramic view from the top of Sexton Summit.
  21. About 20 miles north of Roseburg currently. Showery and breezy.
  22. I’m most likely graduating early so I might spend next spring traveling. Portugal is one of my top choices currently. Maybe I’ll get to report back to you!
  23. Looks much more focused in CA/SW than PNW. As expected in a Niño.
