I was in the SW doing VR golf so had to modify the environment inside house a bit to match course.

Mine is programmed at 68*

Jfc 72 is torchin y’all are crazy

Lol, it costs us an arm and a leg to keep it under 75 during the dog days of summer. And it’s going to be tougher this summer with energy prices soaring.

I might be extra cranky this year.

For the photos uploading sideways - are most of you that this happens with on iphones vs androids?

It sounds like Invision devs are aware of an issue with photos being uploaded sideways when using an iPhone. It has to do with EXIF data (which tells the forum software which orientation the picture is) within the photo being stripped. Apparently this will be fixed with the monthly release in April. We will get the forum updated once it's released and have everyone test it out.

Or you can just rotate the photo in your phone’s picture app to compensate.

I use android, but I don't post a lot of pictures to really care.

Starting to like the look of the long range for mountain snow chances and it finally seems to be moving up instead of always being 10-14 days out. Of course it's still a week or so out so plenty of time for it to disappear.

That guy is crazy. He claims the local NWS steals from him or something ridiculous. I followed him for awhile before realizing how his stuff makes no sense.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

51F with the occasional sprinkle.

Was about to say.

I am the guy who wears shorts all winter unless its really nasty out or snowing.    I actually run pretty warm... my wife on other hand is always cold.     But low 60s for a house temp would be a little annoying.

[TacomaWaWx]

Got down to 42 this morning…little fog this morning. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Euro still looks like it has a decent system in early April. We will see a few days ago the last few days of March looked decent for rain and mountain snowfall too. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Ended up with a 62/45 day yesterday. Partly to mostly cloudy and dry maybe a sprinkle at points

I've only used this site on a laptop, so never had that issue with uploading pictures. Yeah I'm one of the weirdos that doesn't like using smart fones.

That is me as well, I have this one neighbor who has to make a comment every time he sees me in shorts in the winter.  Fortunately my wife also runs warm, but my daughter is always cold.  She dresses in layers in our house LOL! 

 

We do 64/70 in the winter (thermostats goes to 64 from about 10pm to 7am) then I think we did 66/69 or 70 in the summer.  Last summer was the first summer with A/C so its not burned into my brain yet.  We also have a big whole house fan and will continue to use that as much as we can in the summer, and sometimes that gets it down to 58-60 overnight.

We just keep the temp low when we are sleeping. I like nothing better than being under a big warm blanket in a cold room!

The trough this week never looked too wet 

[RentonHill]

Zero wind downtown, flag on top of two union is perfectly still. Never a good sign. Downtown will start stinking by noon if we don’t get a breeze. Better than no wind in middle of summer I guess.

Yeah already gone on the 12z GFS 

[AlTahoe]

With no more precip in the forecast we are going to finish Jan-March 2022 as the driest Jan-March on record (120 years).

Driest Jan - March's in order

1st - 1.61" - 2022

2nd - 2.68" - 2013

3rd - 3.62" - 1976

4th - 4.97" - 1934

5th - 5.05" - 1988

Pretty incredible to get a 90 day ridge in the heart of winter.

San Francisco broke their January - March dry record with almost 170 years of recorded history. Ugly stuff. 

 

Meanwhile, every time the models tease it being decently wet for one run, they immediately flop back to drier than normal indefinitely on the next run. Let's face it, summer started in March again (in Portland).

Oh it's gonna get a lot worse at this rate south of NW Oregon.

Last year. 

In 2018, Lexington, KY received 71.98” of precip! There wettest year on record. Louisville got 68.83” of precip in 2018!

And 90% of that rain is not the type that make people jump off bridges.

I really think I can get used to this climate if I have good working AC in the summer.

[T-Town]

Sun is coming out here. 52 degrees. Some non-sideways pics of the fog from earlier.

12Z ECMWF shows a very strong system early next week with copious rain and even some lowland snow in the cold air mass behind the main front.    Happy April!   

 

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF shows a little lowland snow into Tuesday morning and then well into the 70s by Thursday... that would be a pretty wild week.    I assume both extremes will be tempered on future runs.

That would be nice to pad the snow stats as we go into April.

Got included in a 'slight risk' category for severe thunderstorms this evening. I believe that's the first time I've ever been under one of those. Looking at the possibility for isolated gusts up to 60 mph and 1.5 inch, ping pong sized hail accompanying any thunderstorm development. We will be right on the NW edge and will be threading the needle but will hopefully score a little excitement. Then looking at rain changing to snow overnight with an inch or two possible by tomorrow afternoon. Dynamic! 

18Z GFS is absolutely insane for snowfall in the Upper Midwest over the next 9 days.   This would be crazy at any time of the year... let alone April.

Looks pretty borderline, as one would expect in April. Feels like the Midwest equivalent of our bi-weekly Cannon Beach pepto specials in midwinter.

Definitely borderline... but spring is on hold there for quite awhile.

Been a pretty troughy and cool run in the Upper Midwest at least back to mid January or so. Feels like they're getting to be due for a big tasty ridge soon. Maybe mid April.

The superior GFS model keeps getting drier for the same timeframe. Guess which one will be correct? 

[bainbridgekid]

Was hoping for some Spring Skiing this weekend in Whistler but looking likely temps in the alpine will be in the upper teens with snow instead.

I mowed today. Also finished phase 1 of my garden redesign. I love my new tractor.
