  1. Yeah, was going to say in weather related news I was in fife (yes sometimes they get interesting weather) and some pretty heavy hail moved through! Sun is out here in Tacoma now.
  2. Yeah, I try not to get into the Puget sound unless it’s like atleast in the 80s. No matter what time of year it is the sound is cold AF. You need a wetsuit if you’re planning on being in the water for an extended period of time.
  3. If I had more professional gear I wouldn’t mind kayaking or paddle boarding in the rain. I don’t really have an expensive set up so my water season is generally when it’s warm and sunny out with light winds at most. My kayaks are not something you’d want to take out in big waves or rain. I’d like to have a really nice kayak and wetsuit someday but that’s pretty spendy.
  4. Normally don’t go paddleboarding in March but will probably be going out Saturday. Looks like it should be 70 out on Anderson island. Hasn’t hit 70 in March since 2019.
  5. You’ve literally been saying winter is done all winter long
  6. lol you’re seriously going to Alaska to escape some 70 degree weather in March
  7. Yeah, I get what you mean about it being worrisome based off of some recent lead ups to hot summers. If it’s just the beginning of an overall warm/dry spring with much warmer than normal temperatures it could definitely be a problem. Atleast we have gotten some mountain snows in the last couple weeks. I’m sure we will get atleast one or two more mountain snow patterns before we get into the heart of the warm season.
  8. Lol no I was saying 2011. Something like 2019 I feel like is the best we can do nowadays. Hopefully I’m wrong about that though. All I’m saying is an early March warm spell while not ideal for mountain snowpack does not mean we’re setting the stage for a devastating fire season. What happens later on will determine that.
  9. Part of there not being wildfire smoke back in the day was based on fire suppression for nearly a century though. Now that’s caught up with us. We shouldn’t have suppressed what is unfortunately a natural process. Wildfires have been here long before we were here…since we suppressed the problem for so long now forests are primed to burn. Big problem that coincides with our warming/drying summer climate.
  10. I feel like we have this conversation all the time leading up to the warm season. What happens leading up to the warm season…especially this early doesn’t mean that much for how bad the fire season will be. A warm dry spring overall can be a bad thing coupled with a hot summer. However it can be mitigated by late spring/early summer rain. Or lots of marine layer days throughout the summer and a lack of big offshore winds in early fall.
  11. Most I’ve seen IMBY is 106/68. Here near the sound the temp spreads are very moderated. Some places a good 10 miles from the sound it isn’t unheard of to have a 95/45 temp spread or even greater.
  12. Not going to lie that one stung for sure being just a few miles away. I think the precip moving in is too light to really bring down the snow level here. 37 and raining here. I didn’t expect much the past few nights but this one had potential.
  13. I just guessed 20”. Glad I got my snow fix in yesterday because we’ve been royally screwed IMBY this evening unfortunately
  14. Still some decent activity down south moving north now.
  15. Really feel like in a couple hours has a good chance for the south sound. Precip forming further south. Looks favorable for Olympia and Tacoma.
  16. Looks like some more widespread coverage is developing in SW WA and lifting north. We’ve got a few more hours to go. Comical miss here but the night is still early for some of us who haven’t scored yet.
  17. lol, about 5 miles too far east earlier and now this time about 5 miles too far west!
  18. Looks like Tacoma was a little too far west…but Tacoma narrows dropped to 36 under heavier precipitation. I think our chance will be in about an hour. If I had to guess we will have a couple diffrent bands move through before midnight. Hopefully atleast one works.
  19. Looks like you might just be far enough west. Theres more bands developing down south that look promising hopefully they can get up this way without falling apart.
  20. Pretty nuts that bowerman field in hoqiuam is 33 and snow currently. The mid afternoon snows out on the coast today have been impressive. Gives me a little hope here if we can get some meaningful precipitation.
  21. Yeah, besides some trace snowfalls in January and February we haven’t done so good this winter a few miles north either. We will just have to see how tonight goes.
  22. Wow looks awesome! Hoping for something like that tonight for us south sounders!
