I definitely know that people have different preferences and that is cool.  I just speak up when Phil acts like "everyone" wants and needs it to stay cold and wet and snowy... that is projecting.   

The majority of the lower-48 is in a drought.

Yes, a cool/wet pattern is preferable to the alternative.

March 2021 had to be cooler. I remember that month matching a typical January's average low temperature at KLMT. 

But dry though. 

At Silver Falls March was about 2.6F warmer than last year.

OK Phil.

Moving?  No.   That is silly. 

But we are actively looking to buy a vacation rental property in Hawaii or maybe Isle of Palms in South Carolina.   Regardless of spring weather here. 

Go with SC if you want to keep any money in your pocket.

Yeah... Hawaii is pretty crazy right now.

You have said that many times in the last 10 years.   That was a much younger Tim. 

Only during the extraordinarily fleeting periods of anomalous cool/wet weather that we've seen during the warm season.

A cool/wet May could be a big test!

Even our snow and cold loving Kayla agrees.    ❤

 

While I could use a dose of warmth, we really need the moisture so I'll take it in whatever form we can get it at this point!

Uh, 4 of the last 5 days were in the 80s here and we fell just short of 90°F last Wednesday. Not to mention soils are the driest they’ve been since 2012 for this date..mowers are kicking up large clouds of dust.

Cool/wet weather is absolutely needed here.

No shortage over here. Maybe we're always just wet in Kentucky. We haven't gone more than a week without getting downpours since I got here. 

[Deweydog]

-PDO Tim has risen!

I think the last week of weather was the final nail in the crucifix.

It’s Easter.

Some haymakers being thrown in here today!

I had to look up Isle of Palms as I had never heard of it. Is that the resort you were just at?

I have been looking at a possible second home in the Surfside beach, Myrtle, North Myrtle beach areas. Single family homes a few blocks from the ocean are still very affordable there and they let you take golf carts from your home to the beaches.

Original plan was to eventually get a condo in San Diego but financially that is no longer possible as everything down there is 750k plus.

Yeah when he bought so hard on that, a week of cool showery weather will kill the trees theory, I knew it was getting bad. 

I hadn't even thought about that until Meatyorologist brought it up.   My bad!

Do you guys enjoy having the same conversation over and over and over again? Can you please change the script from time to time or something?

Andrew is angry on this Easter Sunday.   Desperately trolling hard.

You get more winter/spring precip than us during La Niña. Fits climatology well.

You also get more thunderstorms than we do during the summer months. Just a better climate all around.

Yeah I think we’ve vented enough on this topic for one day.

Sunny and quiet in Bellingham... much more stable up here this evening compared to places to the south.  

Yeah, I've been trying to keep my complaints down but it has been boring AF up here the past week.  It's working out nice for this weekend, but otherwise it is painful to see all of those amazing pictures of the storm clouds and dynamic weather down south.

It’s been what, 2 weeks since this cool pattern began? That’s a drop in the bucket in the context of the last decade.

If this was ongoing for 2 months, I’d have more empathy for those longing for warm temperatures. Even after so many warmer than average summers (not to mention the 1-in-1000 year heatwave that happened less than 10 months ago).

And there’ll probably be a warmer period late this month into the early part of May, anyway.

Go easy man, it's only been a decade since our last cold spring.

Poor infrastructure from decades of failed leadership.

 

Not really, but I'm being pretty transparent about the fact you and Jim really annoyed me yesterday. The level of ignorance on display was astonishing. 

I honestly laugh out loud every time you start mocking eastern WA.   It's obviously your issue.   No one else does that.

90% of people who have been there. Moses Lake, ephrata, ritzville, etc...

Spokane is nice.

I barely said anything.  I did think it was funny after doing our family Zoom call for Easter and then see Phil saying how everyone needs it to be cold.   That was quite a contrast in views.

I just don't get your anger at small and economical challenged cities.  We all get it.  You seem to really really want everyone to know there are run down places over there.      

[MossMan]

Guess I will add to the Easter anger! 

Was just at the lake and it was so lovely…Cannot wait for summer!! Upper 70’s with a light NW breeze…Ahhhhhhh CANNOT WAIT!!

Today is a gorgeous 52°F Easter Sunday, with wall to wall sunshine, and yet you’re whining on the internet about…wanting more sunshine? Please, for the love of not only everyone who is physically sick of this endless bickering, but also of yourself, go outside and enjoy this amazing weather. You’ll love it.

Yeah... been power washing my parent's deck this morning.   Beautiful day.    They are at the age now when they can't really maintain the house now.   Need to get them into something smaller... maybe assisted living.

Dude... I have been outside literally all day.  Andrew is the one fighting.   I am just amused.

My task for the day...

I’m sure this enlightening conversation has really settled our preferential differences in weather.

Please be a sensible adult then and just end this pointless conversation. You have the power to not respond and overcome the universal urge to “end up on top” of the argument.

[Deweydog]

You just knew the era of peace, love and understanding couldn’t last…

[TT-SEA]

How did we go from saying not everyone wants it to stay cold and wet... to Andrew lashing out in anger at poor Ritzville and Hermiston.

There is no on top... ever!      When I checked back there are pics of run down motels and Ritzville bashing.   I will try to be the sensible adult in this fun discussion.

All global models agree on a very decent amount of CA precipitation over the next week. Great news for them at a time when they desperately need some!

Has to be in a popular vacation rental area so you can recoup mortgage costs.   I had never heard of Isle of Palms either...  but we have been there every April since 2017 with exception of the COVID shut down year.   It's gorgeous there and a guaranteed awesome rental market being an island.   The entire island is booked up for 2 years in advance from April through October.
