16/17 was full blown niño-costero by Feb. Calling that winter a niña borders on criminal.
Whatever

Has to be tough seeing a Nina coming.

Conservatism always looking out for the "working folks". Am I right, @SilverFallsAndrew?
This is actually pretty standard. I worked as a caregiver for many years. We were exempted from lunch breaks. There is always down time in these jobs. Plus who wants to be at work an extra hour that you’re not even getting paid?

The fact that those are the two analogs you remember most readily for that sort of thing says more about the sad state of our climate than it does anything. 2019 actually had a top tier warm and dry May and an averagish June followed by a reasonable if not mild summer. 2022 had a coolish and wettish May followed by an averagish June, after which we descended directly into summer hellfire and didn’t look back until November.
They’re getting pretty ancient now, but a couple better examples of a classic cool and wet May/June would be 2010 and 2012.
June 2022 was extremely wet through the first three weeks of.the month though.

Rang in with a nice line of strong to severe thunderstorms on the 1st and never looked back.
That was a really good period for salmonids in the region.

I’m afraid to hope Andrew. Do you know any priests whose counsel I could seek?
I've come across a few HIGH priests.

Can you imagine if we are blessed with a wet May. The ENSO forecast is coming more into focus now. Really starting to look like we land on a moderate Nina.

The cool and wet May is looking like the real deal, Andrew.
Big Nino to Nina flips tend to equate to stunningly beautiful Mays. 1988, 1998, 2010.
We're bound to see blessings, and a whole heck of a lot of them. You've all been warned.
I remember May 1998. Abiqua Creek was blown out on the first day of fishing season.

You complain about every season. But we can get some really nice falls out here. Love those crisp October days.
Are you talking about Spokane? Certainly not the Western Lowlands.

200” of rain would be quite the blessing. They need every drop they can get.
In this climate every inch counts.

Devastating decisions by the Obama/Biden administrations have led to catastrophe and a world on the brink.

Mine was fall for years. But I have come around to enjoying all more equally as I’ve grown older and wiser, Andrew.
Fall sucks. It's just an extension of summer now.

Boeing should be ERASED and sent to the dustbin of history. How many people will have to die for corporate greed. Their entire fleet should be grounded immediately. Airbus is a far superior aircraft anyways. The people who greenlit the 737 Max should be tried for murder.

Some solid steps in the right direction on tonight’s 00z GFS.
Good to hear. I’m enjoying spring. It’s my favorite season.

Phil got hammered by Nino this year.
Well not quite. More like hammered during a Nino.

Let's start with the obvious. The left have become a joke for some time. Just like the right. You don't need Bill to make that observation clear.
No. Bill has always been an uber smug douchebag, but he has become more crotchety and prone to latch on to some more illogical right wing talking points lately. He is also far less likely to take those on the right to task like he used to. He's become more of a populist and a bit lazy with his editorials. It's been noticeable by me and many of his longtime fans.
When he's on he's on. When he's not, you just want to punch the guy.
And his pro-Israel bias and lack of knowledge of the history of the Middle East is downright ignorant. Had to add that. No particular reason
I typically listen to Club Random, but don’t watch the HBO show.

I need to get up there and check it out. Haven’t been up the upper Molalla since the fire. I’m sure it’s a lot different now. Sometimes it feels like everywhere is.
I went up there last summer or maybe the summer before a lot of the corridor burned, but not as much as you would think. A lot of it stayed on the ridges. Once you get up on the Table Rock fork it’s mostly intact iirc.
Back in 2011 I had an offer accepted on a home up on elk prairie on the ridge above the Molalla river. Almost 2400’ elevation. Needed too much work and I bailed, ended up here. That home burned to the ground in the fires.

Probably our most pleasant summer in a decade.
