I am all for staying green all summer. Rain once twice a week would be ideal. But nature doesn't give a crap what I want! And maybe it's because you expect McDonalds to be crap so the coffee exceeds expectations?

I am all for rainy days and sunny days interspersed. Spring climo!

Never causes heat stress. Which is true. A 68-degree day in June is usually quite lovely in the afternoon at least.

Yep. Can't control or change cold maxes and dark/dreary days during the peak daylight months if that is what nature wants to do. Just take it as it comes.

Nature is a cruel b*tch sometimes!

Record low maxes happen often?? That sucks. Seems like we had a bunch of crap in April and May of 2022. That wasn't so long ago.

Yes... even into June. Quite unpleasant.

Hopefully the upward trend in the ensembles is not just a default to climo in long range and there is an actual warm up ahead. Mid 50s is great in March but not so much in May.

We break down during our annual road trip to MN and will stop at McDonalds a couple times. They actually have really good coffee. We never go to McDonalds when when we are home.

My son just asked me about the weather this weekend so I ran the ECMWF surface maps because there are usually breaks during stormy patterns in Seattle. What a mess. Very little sun for maybe a week. Clouds at multiple levels for many days... damp and really chilly daytime temps. Sun and showers every day during spring troughing is one thing. This is going to be something worse. Timing of our trip couldn't have been any better.

Ehhh. Trying to make healthier choices in my old age. I could be gone tomorrow. Maybe to the delight of some!

We agree my friend in Christ... my dear brother... and fellow child of God. I try to avoid fast food as much as possible.

Sort of funny... I only saw the left side when I glanced at the post earlier and thought 80s for highs can't be that bad. Only when you quoted it did I see the actual high temps. Ouch.

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.
