February 2024 Weather in the PNW
NorthBend RainEnthusiast replied to TigerWoodsLibido's topic in West of the Rockies
Your incorrect about the neighborhood history, every home had an incredible view here when the neighborhood was built in the 60s and 70s (it was a tree farm right before and the trees weren’t large here at the time). Weenies probably deserved, I’m just annoyed by the nature of your responses to me every D**n time. That probably means it’s time for me to take a hiatus. -

You know what, I’ve never stepped outside my own house and looked. Thanks for letting me know or I’d never have known! I have a view of a lake and Mailbox Peak all winter long, don’t worry about me. I remember my first comment here in 2019 was similar: you telling me about my own property and how dark it is. This neighborhood is currently much darker than it ever was in the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s (fun fact: trees grow up). I love the shade, I love the moss, I love the rain, and despite your attempts to often highlight the opposite, it’s mostly rain and darkness for all of us all winter long. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to built a snow dam in my creek with my son in this dark abyss I call home. (As with many peoples comments towards you, this will seem a bit aggressive but is built off years of subtle comments from you. It’s why I left the first time. Now play innocent like you have no idea what I’m talking about and we can move on.) -

Yep, I’m in the neighborhood you can see below you while on Rattlesnake Ledge, about 1000’ elevation. Rainy as hell, dark as hell, but often snowy as hell too. And pure bliss in the summer. -

I have not seen the words "Clausius-Clapeyron" for a decade, thanks for the flashback to grad school. Definitely a factor when calculating melting temperatures with depth throughout the thickness of an ice sheet. It's been snowing consistently at 33.5°F here for a few hours, nothing accumulating but it's beautiful (especially since everything is already snow-covered). Hard to not feel spoiled up here when even for a "quiet" winter I'd still give it a high score. In January, we had a week of very cold temps (down to 9°F!), frigid winds and power outages, all with a few inches of snow on the ground. Then this week we've had a couple days of snow now, plenty enough to pull the kids on the sled. -

Up to 5” and the snow has basically stopped. Pleasant late Winter surprise, looking forward to the heavy rain on Wednesday.- 8823 replies

@snow_wizard, this must be what you’re always referring to when you insist people are triggered when they aren’t identified how they prefer? The irony… Blustery and wet here today, 1.85” today but only 6.04” this month. -

Don’t bother, they can’t be helped. My sympathetic conclusion is they reason this way to avoid dealing with the depressing reality of what’s actually happening to our local ecosystems. Though I will say, I refuse to take the doomer route and throw my hands up and give up. There are regulations we can support, and actions we can support by non profits and government. Best way I deal with it is helping locally best I can. I’m buying the “extractigator ( https://extractigator.com ) to work on the holly invasion around our little lake. There will always be suffering (and always has been) but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it to reduce it the best we can. -
It’s about King County vs. North Bend. King County covers unincorporated outside North Bend (rich, poor, in between) and the city does North Bend. It’s a running joke out here. We get taken care of out here because often we’re the only spot in unincorporated King County with snow/ice. Light rain and 26°F
