Redmond, OR tied a record low this morning: 17 set in 1955. 

Looks like Baker City tied their record low of 17 from 2013. 

McMinnville, OR hit 27, broke their record of 28 from 1924. 

 

Interesting all 3 of the following winters featured major regional arctic airmasses... lol... 1955-56 is probably the most underrated winter in PNW history.

The sun came out for a bit and we’re up to 48. Heat wave. 

[Phishy Wx]

pretty much all the snow has melted except a couple shade patches.  37 and Mostly Cloudy

[Phishy Wx]

for those wondering KGEG reported 1.5" at midnight last night and was the snowiest April day since 2009.  4th snowiest since 2000 and the 14th snowiest in history.

Trying to snow again!!

This is like February 2019 but in April. Good gawd

Nov '55 - 2 feet, Dec '55 - 2 feet, Jan '56 - 2 feet, Feb '56 - 2 more feet. That was K-Falls in 55-56!

Definitely feels weird seeing 48 degrees on a dry, partly cloudy afternoon on April 15.

Should be a pretty cold one tonight if the clouds remain to our south.

It’s not trying hard enough.

Looks a little more like a typical April day here.... much more so than some of the other days this week.  Partly sunny and calm with a temp near 50 and actually feels fairly pleasant out there.   It's been dry all day.   

[TacomaWaWx]

48 here…might get to 50 for the first time in 4 days this afternoon. 

[Omegaraptor]

52 in Corvallis under a mostly sunny sky on April 15. Goes without saying - airmasses like this don’t come around often.

That Nov 1955 snap as I've said before was just impossible. A freak airmass. Because of it, KSEA's earliest subfreezing high is 21°F.

[Phishy Wx]

Graupel shower in progress,  37 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

58F and beautiful today. Just a few clouds. I hope we can stay cool like this all spring and summer!! That fuckkin volcano is gonna do us some goddamn work!!

I might try and mow in a bit if we can manage to stay dry.

Beautiful day..

In terms of sheer anomalies, if there’s any previous anomalous temperature event we can compare to June 2021, it’s probably November 1955.

Yeah... emerging leaves can also look like the last gasp of fall.

I see cushions on deck furniture. I pulled mine back inside but I think it’s time to try again.

Someone in the local community facebook page posted recently about that winter.  She said they had to cancel the baseball season because the fields were covered with snow until late May.

Mine are still in the attic, hopefully month number 5 will bring more deck type weather!

Had them out in March and early April then put them away.... and took them back out today so we can do a little happy hour on the deck.   Then back in they go since it's going to rain most of next week.

Mine are under cover but the crazy wind and rain was getting them anyway. But I think they’ll go back out today for the same reason. 

[Deweydog]

Nice day!

Just cover them up? That’s what we do, never have to move furniture unless there’s a high wind event coming.

Those leaves look a little windburned.

Don't think so... not much wind here at all this week.    The cottonwoods leaves always look yellow for the first week or two and then turn green.    Of course they looked the same 10 days ago and everything just stopped progressing.

[TacomaWaWx]

51/33 today it looks like…down to 49 now. Still a pretty decent negative departure. Didn’t get any rain today. 

[TacomaWaWx]

I think tomorrow may end up more active than today. 

[Omegaraptor]

Just drove home to Tigard area... surprised by how much snow was in the Marion and Linn County Cascades.  Lots of snowcover in places I often don’t see it in midwinter.

Or didn’t see it much this winter. But yeah the mountains looked beautiful today.

I can't read that in my pic... will take your word for it.  NB is always high because it's a travel stop.

[MossMan]

I mowed and BBQ’d! Spring! 46 degrees isn’t quite like 86 degrees but at least it was bright and dry!
