That’s a daily record at SLE.

2.1” in the bucket.

Only 51 at Salem today, at 1am, good for a -17 departure on the high.

This rain is such a tremendous blessing upon the land. Salem up to .80” on the day and 2.19” on the month.

Been an interesting start to May. Thursday was supposed to be a dry mild day, but it definitely wasn’t. Just got home, currently 41 with moderate rain.

Was snowing, but not sticking going over Santiam Pass this afternoon. Out on the Crooked River the past couple days. Didn’t really rain today until about noon as we were leaving. Caught a few trout, though the river was pretty high. Prineville reservoir is full already.

Seems like most of last May was around or above 80.

Portlands average first 80 is May 6th. About a week ago many in here thought it might happen today.

Salem scored over half an inch of rain overnight!

Funny you bring up the psych op in Charlottesville. Just as Biden has his “both sides” moment.

Oh and you thought you had me! Darn, better luck next time! Try to stay current with your news, ok? Here is a story from a source you will believe. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/middleeast/israel-embassy-man-on-fire.html

Agreed. Almost perfect setup with any kind of cold to work with. So far I think we have to be grateful for how this spring turned out. I really have hope summer won’t be to bad. Here is a question for the folks. Which of the last three summers was the most horrific? For me it was 2022.

I heard Trump unleash a stream of consciousness RANT on Hannity. That guy is sharp as a tack, you may disagree with him and think he’s crazy, but his mind is still quick.

Really the only way to handle BLM or now Pro Hamas/Palestinian demonstrators is with skull crushing force. Even NYC mayor Eric Adams is speaking out about the thuggery and malevolent intent of these rioters. Many are speculating the pro Palestine groups may soon begin resorting to terror attacks. We recently had a pro Palestinian self immolate. Next time it very well may be a suicide bomb in a crowded public place with large numbers of children.

Glad to see they aren’t taking it lying down. Their lives are being threatened and they won’t just lay down and die like the pro-Palestinian protesters want.

Given the threats against Jews in Southern California recently this isn’t surprising. Even CNNs Dana Bash remarked tonight about how there are eerie parallels with the 1930s and the targeting and scapegoating of Jews. My Jewish friends are absolutely terrified.

Some nice banding on radar this evening. What a night.

I get a bit of a Puritan vibe from you. Seems like some of our alternative lifestyles make you a tad bit uncomfortable. Personally, I think chastity is one of the highest forms of virtue. I am in awe of those who possess the fortitude and self discipline to rise above the carnal desires of the flesh.

Wet night out there.

This sounds like a joke my wife would tell to me and then give me a long hard look.

Solid overcast in Salem.

May have been due to the pandemic, but Moab was busier in April than when I was there in august 2020.

We went to Cedar Breaks last month. Up at the top at 10,400 there was a lot of snow!

Eugene and Olympia are a shell of their former selves.

When we went to Arches they do limit the number of visitors. You have to have a ticket for a specific time slot to enter the park. Depends on the park too. We went to Mesa Verde and there was hardly anyone there.
