    Yep dawn chorus has started. I swear those f**kers wake up before 6AM just to worsen my insomnia.

    And the trees behind the house have started to leaf out already. The ones in the picture are all oak and sycamore, which don’t usually leaf out until late April (tho will probably be a few weeks earlier this year).

    So far I'm cool with all the local birds. Our cardinals are not obnoxiously noisy.. but there is one bird I'm sure the whole US has, used to bug me at 6am on the west coast and it does here too certain warmer months.

    Thankfully I tend to wake up before sunrise but as the nights get shorter its hard to maintain that.

    Wield?

    A lot of that is because the mountain is steep and isolated.  The backside has a lot of snow, and even that face has it under the trees.  Also....this just hasn't been a good year for snow in this general area.

    Washington Cascades did decently during the first two Ninas that skunked Oregon with dry winters. Must've been due for them to see that.

  3. Nice storm early this morning, I started seeing flashing to my north before going to bed, had to get some sleep though.

    The squall hit me around 2am, lightning every 10-15 seconds, and a little outflow wind at the beginning of it. Other than 1 or 2 power bumps, we kept our electricity over here.

    I heard a few areas had tornadoes but compared to the late February outbreak, I think this was mostly large hail in areas. But there sure were a good number of individually tornado warned cells with these last night.

     New Mexico is really nice if you get rid of the big towns, the mountains there are amazing, but putting it above Wyoming in this list is insane.

    I bet NM has more run down areas too. I stayed at Grants once and thought that made Klamath Falls look like a nice place in comparison.

    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. 

    If they're brown, stinkbug is the correct name (but they don't usually "stink" lol)

    Boxelder bugs look sort of like fireflies.

    Yeah, this is one of those situations where the airport doesn't represent the metro area at all.

    I'm up to 9".

    I'm starting to hate airport wx stations.. for nearly the last hour I've heard thunder, none at mine. In fact, I think the station is closer to the storm than I am. 🫠

    ?!?!?!??!?

     

    They're on permanent standard time, not DST.

    I think there's a part of AZ that still observes DST, but you could say the most populated areas don't.

    We took I-40 East from Flagstaff a few years ago and remember there being a clock change a couple times in one day. Confusing.. and I really don't think this should be a state to state decision. Just make it national.

    Warm to cold to warm to cold.  Hate this time of year.   69 degrees here today full sun.  Feels much warmer than the 70 yesterday due to much less wind.  

    The evening cooldowns are also un-March-like.. 3 hours after the high occurred and its almost the same temperature outside.. 

    Bring on tomorrow's storms!!

    Continent-wide torching. You guys were the only cool spot.

    I don’t think it’s a guarantee that will be the case this summer. But I hope I’m wrong.

    I remember looking up summer 2015 for this area and was surprised at the lack of big heat. Whereas the PNW was in hell that year.

    Huntington WV ran cool departures Jul/Aug 2015. How much of the US torched that year?
