Actually, GEG did not reach 90 yesterday so they stopped one day short of the record. https://www.krem.com/article/weather/heat-advisory-spokane-area-this-weekend/293-9d6ffae2-0300-43f9-8b20-bb286c527373

That is your opinion. We have a much more continental climate than the west side since we have 4 distinct seasons here. We have snow much more often than western Washington and Oregon. At this moment, we have around 10" of snow on the ground and there has been snow on the ground for a couple weeks now. This morning it was 2 degrees above zero. The summers here are nice and warm to hot with no morning clouds to worry about. Sometimes we have thunderstorms severe enough to produce dust storms like in 2014. People can raft down the river here less than a mile from downtown. Parks to walk through and enjoy in the sun. The falls downtown are usually full in the springtime and a new park downtown that allows people to get close to the falls and enjoy the sight and spray from the falls. Riverfront Park is going to get a makeover in the next few years so it will be even better than it is now. And there is a lot more to see outside of Spokane than most people realize. Follow along the river and you will see the dams and lakes that are popular in the summer. Head northeast toward Mt. Spokane and the view from there is very scenic. Hiking opportunities abound here with the Centennial Trail along the river from Idaho down to Riverside State Park, the Little Spokane River, Dishman Hills Natural Area, Iller Creek Conservation Area, and Liberty Lake Regional Park. And there is still a lot more places here that one can walk,hike, or bike. Clearly, some people don't take the time to appreciate the beauty around the Northwest like other more open-minded people do.

Mark Nelsen is saying we may yet get a late season "backdoor blast" in March. https://fox12weather.wordpress.com/2015/02/12/ecmwf-monthly-run-a-bit-cooler/
