Rolling into Spring Break - beautiful afternoon on the coast

Mix of sun and clouds, 50 - perfect spring morning

Was just about to post ‘wasn’t it supposed to rain at some point this evening/tonight?’ Immediately a burst of hail for 90secs. Now silent again…spring time baby!

Feel like they were just catching up from yesterday’s posts and sharing some history re: origin of that mascot, albeit quite disturbing and effed up history

Does seem like things are getting flattened out and moderating toward climo as we inch forward

Gah! Missed it by a week on both sides. All good tho.

Haha yes! Ducks just upset the #6 seed. March Madness baby

Let’s go climo! And let’s Sco Ducks!!

This sounds dangerous and amazing all at the same time

Great morning out there - cloudy but still bright, not too warm. Models seem to be waffling a bit, but that Wed/Thur low looks fairly potent

North - staying in Manzanita but day tripping around too. Looking forward to beach runs with the pup Cool little microclimate too North Coast “Banana Belt”

I’d take this all next week at the coast. Still thinking Wed-Fri might produce some decently dry patches

This I wholeheartedly agree with

This x1000 - I just don’t understand rooting for constant 40s and misery through April. I freaking love snow and cold…in the winter. Seasons are still a thing, and Spring is a great one. And yeah, was it warmer than it needed to be for a couple days? Sure. But fear not! Cold rain is on the horizon

Mason bees out and about at our place last couple days

It was a beautiful St Paddy’s day My kiddos are Irish dancers so it was a crazy busy but amazing weekend to be out and about the metro

Hey that doesn’t look too bad?

Just in time for my week at the beach! Gross, but such is life.

Sign me up for boring ‘ol average. 55-60 sounds great

Hey now, still time for another ridge to pop up, 10-14 days is a model crapshoot in Spring

Perfection

Making the most of the next 5 days for sure, gonna be an epic St. Patrick’s Day Bummer my only week off will be cold and soggy but them’s the breaks. Still better than working

Yeah usually don’t stink, but I’ve heard smashing them might. I dunno, annoying little buggers either way lol. Much preferred to yellow jackets tho. Wonder if the somewhat extended hard freeze will have any impact on their numbers this year

Woodpeckers are out en masse today making noise - Spring is here!

I think you’re referring to box elder beetles? Last couple summers we’ve had them pretty bad, although we lost one of our maples in the ice storm so hopefully a few less this year. If you have box elder Maples near the house it’s pretty hard to avoid, but you can have pros come out and do treatments to limit them around outdoor living spaces. We don’t get many inside thankfully.
