Timberline lodge is on fire?

Yes, they think it started in the attic or from embers from the chimney.

Gorgeous day with a 69/36 spread here. Light morning frost then gusty east winds, low DPs and crystal clear skies this afternoon.

Thunderstorm heading into Olympia!

Beautiful evening

We ordered more concrete blocks to finish our third garden bed. I'm hoping to really go out on growing stuff this summer.

So.... Anymore snow?

Do I need to warn my manager about more snow for this week and deal with another dumpster fire?

A whole 180 from this time last year.

Ugh. Tomatoes are just so….temperate. I wanna grow guavas and passion fruit  

I have a pineapple guava, and a neighbor has a loquat tree that did well during the storm.

Another OHSU view.

I'm at work with no actual work to do tonight, so I'll be checking the windows for splats.

Current temp at 122nd and Division, will it snow???

You guys that are bagging on our climate need to reread this.  We have some of the best weather in the country.  Also in a great place for future global warming.   Many places are already almost non-livable.

If you are honestly hating on the climate where you live, you need to move.  Life is pretty short and to dislike where you live makes it pretty shltty.  I loved growing up ion SoCal.  Great waves, punk rock clubs, Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, and SOO many tourist girls.  I wouldn't change it for the world, but after I quit surfing it lost something.  Then it got more overcrowded, and hotter.  I bailed.  I love it here.  Been here since 2005 and won't ever move.  The farthest I would go would be the coast.

You cannot be happy if you don't like where you live. 

But, I think a couple of you are just basically unhappy people and that wouldn't change even if you moved.

 

I also grew up in SoCal, and while I love the beaches and everything that is there. I am happier here. I love having weather, seasons, long and short days. Yes every once in a while I miss having consistent weather to grow food or to just go for a walk without feeling like I took a cold shower with clothing on, but I wouldn't go back.

38 here in Troutdale.

It has been nice having some light in the sky when driving to work. I no longer feel like I am driving blind.

Tomorrow is February 1st, should I take down my very dry and dead Christmas tree?
