In 2008 it snowed at our house on April 19th and less than a month later it was in the mid 90's. The snow had melted by then, though.- 3540 replies

Jim, at some point one would think you'd realize two things: 1. The manner in which this winter has played out was fairly predictable. Stinkers happen and this one had the feel of a stinker going in. I know there was a lot of buzz about January but that would have really been a case of making something out of nothing. 2. Cancer would MAYBE be worse and you should be thankful for the fact you get to live through this nightmare.- 3540 replies

December 1990 and December 2008 were in the ballpark. It was more to make a point of the fact our potential for extremes hasn't changed all that much and extremes are what most plants crave, along with Brawndo.- 3540 replies

Deweydog replied to Skagit Weather's topic in West of the Rockies
True beans. I guess "standards" are just pretty subjective and in the eye of the beholder. For instance, I know our climate was theoretically cooler when I was 10 years old. But I also know we'll probably have one or two or three more sequences on par with November 1985 in my lifetime. Given that contradiction, what the hell do I do?????- 3540 replies

January 2015 Observations for the Pacific Northwest
Deweydog replied to Skagit Weather's topic in West of the Rockies
I don't know. It's boring and uninteresting to even think it's a possibility, which probably at least exists because I'm somewhat familiar with our climate and I know it's been warm overall. We haven't even whiffed at an impactfully cold air mass without significant continental help this season and our SW'erly flow patterns have been particularly potent from a warm advection standpoint. But I get what you're doing. It's just old and not interesting enough.- 3540 replies

Hmmmm... if this were a considerably cold winter thus far in the upper levels and someone made mention of it would you be so quick to point out not so cold current conditions? I suspect the answer is yes.- 3540 replies

Tendencies are tendencies. We live in a maritime climate, no . If there were weenies around in 1862 I guarantee there would have still been some measure of angst, anxiety and immaturity about marine influence during cold events. Everything is relative to the climate you live in. 100 years from now there's a good chance people will look back at winter 2013-14, long for the old days of winter brutality and completely gloss over the fact the following summer, fall and winter were rather warm.- 3540 replies

I've never jumped on the whole Mediterranean bandwagon. It's dumb on multiple levels. Our climate isn't changing before our eyes as you've alluded to many times over the last few months. Simply acknowledging we are and will likely continue to live in a slowly warming climate doesn't have to be a major revelation.- 3540 replies
