Exactly. Need to catch up on deficit so it's nice to do that while we are out of town. I don't have a strong desire to see more 50 degree rain. But I am sad we missed most of today. Ended up getting up to 75 in North Bend.

I have actually taken that approach much more when things aren't going the way I like... and not just with weather. Particularly with things out of my control.

73 in North Bend now. Only 67 in Charleston but forecast there is sunny and 80 for the next several days. Quite different than home. Not sure it will even get to 50 with all day rain on Thursday.

It's an absolute beast on the all the models. Be nice if it was just moving through and not parking for the next 2 weeks. But I think the anticipated warm season ridge over the middle of the continent might be becoming established early. We will have to wait until it expands more.

You missed the point Jared. We should find joy. We are only here for a short time. Side note... traveling (or moving) to a different place is one way we can actually have control over the weather we experience.

Not great. But much cheaper than Verizon was for us.

We get free wifi through T-Mobile on Alaska. Seattle based companies partnering up.

Suffice to say... any weather you really enjoy is always better at home. Why we prefer not to travel in the summer.

Lake Washington with Puget Sound in the distance. Took off to the north then turned east right over downtown Seattle. We usually take off going south from SEA. But we usually fly in the cold season and the wind is typically from the SW in the winter. North wind today and I guess they prefer to take off into the wind.

But you do that literally every day!

I don't care what you say. I would prefer it to be stormy and rainy at home when we are gone. I love our perfect days at home... like today... and would prefer not miss any of them. If it was going to be 68 and sunny at home this weekend I would much rather be at home than in 85 degree weather in Charleston. But it's going to be 52 and raining at home this weekend and I will love being in Charleston. And I think many people would prefer to be home for a 4 inch snowstorm over a 12 inch snowstorm elsewhere. It's more special at home.

California is in a dire situation. Horrific drought and reservoirs are bone dry. No way they can be saved. California is dead. Not coming alive.

I wouldn't want to miss a sunny 70-degree weekend at home in April. Supply of those perfect days is limited... and always prefer to have stormy/rainy weather at home when we are gone.

Oh it's coming this time. Guaranteed.

Don't like leaving on such a gorgeous day... but don't mind missing the next week after today.

Agree.

For me... that is the reason I couldn't live there.

Seems silly. 60s with a low dewpoint is not stressful for anyone at any time. People live in that temperature indoors all winter. So when it gets to 45 in Minneapolis in February its a heat risk?

It was 61 at SEA today which is normal. Dewpoint was in the 30s and there was decent north wind. Probably felt a little chilly there. Its show mid to upper 60s tomorrow. If that qualifies for heat risk then the map will be bright red everywhere all summer.

Wet! Only very small breaks between systems.

Might be an entire west coast situation coming up. Probably related to the final warming post above.

Indeed. But we knew an extended rainy pattern was probably coming so lets just get it done! I would love to continue with an alternating pattern with heavier rain during the stormy periods so we can get to normal precip but have some nice sunny days in between. Sunny days (like today) might become non-existent for the next couple weeks at least.

Starting look like a long term cold/rainy pattern. Might be similar to 2010 only starting 3 weeks earlier.

It was very wet in 2022 through the 3rd week of June and we still ended up with drought and thick smoke for 2 months.

Gonna be wet! Time to make up some recent deficits.
