    No rain actually making it to the surface so far this morning here in Salem.

    I have some beautiful cedars. The only big tree I've had die in the past few years was a large Noble.

    Whet Thymes ahead.

    Could be worse.

    Pretty wet run.

    When there is no real interesting weather on the horizon for the next six months I prefer to take it one day at a time and transition to other activities such as yard work.

    A few morning thoughts. This system while doing nearly nothing for rain/snow in NW Oregon has delivered widespread soaking rain to much of Eastern Oregon and snow in the mountains above 4-5000'. Snow pack numbers over yesterday have improved even more with some Eastern Oregon basins approaching 160% of normal snow pack. Some chilly overnight lows west side. Eugene hit 33.

    For once Oregon is in a much better situation with snow pack than its friends to the north.

    Anyways...Down to 37 under mostly clear skies.

    March can be a big month up here. I had 20.55" of precip in March 2012 and over 17" in March 2017. According to the PRISM data the wettest month 1892-present up here was November 2006 and the wettest year 1996. 2012 was pretty incredible. I had over 19" of precip in January, the before mentioned 20" in March, and 10"+ in October, Nov, and December.

    Yeah it is REALLY wet here though in general. I just don't make a huge deal about it. Even the extremely dry 2013 had over 55" of rain here. 2012 had about 105" and 2017 had 96 I believe. Looks like we've had about 42" since October 1st which is around 15" below normal at least... IF we do have a dry spring then we could challenge 2013.

    And receive more rainfall on average!
  13. SilverFallsAndrew
    Yes, even though you have to add both their elevations together to get to mine...

    Good job boss.

    Was pretty dry here in the foothills last spring outside a 3 week stretch at the end of March/first half of April. Barely had 1/2" of rain in May when average is almost 5".
  17. SilverFallsAndrew
    The ensembles have trended a bit wetter.

    2013 was the driest year on record at Salem. Pretty amazing since September 2013 blew away the previous record for wettest September.
  19. SilverFallsAndrew
    You hate those prospects that much?!
  20. SilverFallsAndrew
    Everything is pointing towards a December BLAST.
  21. SilverFallsAndrew
    Down to 42 already. A somewhat mild high of 54.

    Honestly I was really stunned the Santiam Park Fire burned almost 200 acres the other day. Usually even in the summer the vegetation in the Cascade Foothills is still pretty green and fires burn slowly. The fire in the state park near me only burned about 30-40 acres last summer. That one was from a lightning strike during the June thunderstorms that flared up during the mid-July heatwave. They conduct massive field burns up here in late August and early September though, they only do those on days when winds are calm.

    Looks like a lot of 55/28 type days up here.
  24. SilverFallsAndrew
    Actually it doesn't. I never said we likely going to have a wet spring. Just said I wasn't panicking yet and the next 1-2 weeks look to have near normal to slightly below normal temps and potentially a lot of frosty nights. And that a wet/cool June could prevent a bad fire season. Tim was the one saying a dry March = wet May/June.
  25. SilverFallsAndrew
    Quickly browsing the numbers in my area you are right. Typically a dry March has been followed by drier than normal weather through the remainder of the spring. As much as 75-80% of the time...So the correlation between a dry March and dry spring is pretty strong. Last March was a top 10 dry March here, We rebounded with slightly above average precip in April, but the 2nd half of April was dry and then we had the 2nd driest May on record. 2013 was an exception though, a dry March was followed by a near average April and extremely wet May.
