  1. You’re dancing around to make your own point valid. Something you’re actually quite good at.
  2. Not at Quillayute. Thus, my reference of the city.
  3. Are you really trying to deny a rapid development of Niña conditions or just trolling? I just posted an update here.
  4. Updated charts. Niña seems like a sure thing at this point. Cooler ocean temps taking over. JJA timeframe is much improved for Niña conditions.
  5. Quillayute hit 80 today…. Demolished its old daily record of 64. 80 in mid-March is weird.
  6. 74 today, broke a record of 72 that stood against the test of time since 1947. The 21st century maximum records are coming in fast and furious.
  7. Welp, as fun as it was to see the winter folks returned to the forums for the winter months, it is almost time to say goodbye to them. It's the great annual spring and summer migration. Those of us that remains year round will have a party!
  8. Hi, Anyone excited for spring-like weather this weekend?
  9. This is true… behind the scenes, China is actually slowly but surely trying to absorb Viet Nam to become them. Few years ago there were a lot of protests surrounding business deals involving selling of lands and rents of lands for Chinese use for the next 90 years. We’re talking about generations here. It was then cut in half to 45 years.
  10. I don’t want to get too political in this but a lot of it is because of political reasons. Outside of the main capitals per provinces, the country is technically still a 3rd world country and is a communist nation. Many of these resorts and attractions are funded by China and Russia oligarchs, while employing poor Vietnamese citizens. These oligarchs then take in the money from tourism. You’ll be shock at how many Chinese and Russian directions you see at these resorts and attractions. They don’t care about preserving the environment when the country isn’t theirs. Of course, the Vietnamese communism goes along with this because they also get their shares with business booming.
  11. Yup! It’s also one of the most popular tourist destination due to the insane stable weather there. Love seeing the fog rolled in evening and morning hours as well. A word of warning though and it’s kinda sad. Due to high tourism traffic in recent years. More and more trees are being cut there for attractions. With less trees, the climate there is currently on the rise. I suspect 10 years from now, it’ll be very different.
  12. Definitely! I’ve been to the highlands there during my last 2 trips last year. Da Lat is the highlands city I went to and the climate is very much like PNW. Planning on it again this time. A breath of fresh air. Wedding pics I shared to the forums couple years ago was also from the same city. Just stunning.
  13. Going to Vietnam next month for 1 month. Their monsoon season wrapped up couple months ago and peak heat is ramping up. No more rain and averaging triple digits with 95%+ humidity. Need to mentally prepare for this one.
  14. Actually got accumulating snow! And it’s the best one of the season…. Even though it’s a bit more than trace.
  15. This is a completely fair take as we’ve seen worst. Expectations from me were also low this year given the Niño conditions. So the F may have been harsh.
  16. That was a great cold snap. But because it yielded zero snow I had to give it a tough grade.
  17. Pretty sure @RentonHillwould agree with my assessment in the previous post!
  18. Last 2 winters have yielded a fat F from me for my area. - This year, less than a trace and a dry cold snap. - Last year, less than 2” total snow. Brutal, especially seeing the surrounding areas did well.
  19. Looks great! Get that north winds cranking.
  20. Rain started just before 1am… hasn’t stopped since. Ahhh welcome to Februvember in the PNW!
  21. You’re actually exactly right here. The utility here are handled by SCL.
  22. Yah definitely a surprise and a bit of a hinderance too. At the old place, where we lived for 20+ years… I’ve only experienced handful of outages. The most memorable one was the Hanukkah eve wind storm outage that lasted 3 days. Definitely more frequent as of late which sucks. Tim brought up the PSE staffing issue, maybe that’s it.
  23. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is. Most of the time, it gets restored within 5-6 hours and usually happens when people are sleeping. So the grids must be turned off on purpose.
