That flood was followed by probably the best 18 to 20 month run of weather in the 20th century

The following winters would be amazing to experience.

Looking like next weekend is going to find a way to be ugly now.

I been staring at the forecast really looking forward to next Saturday and Sunday.  Are you saying the rug pull is about to happen?  Was looking pretty good with temps 65-70.  Dang!

[The Swamp]

Raining pretty hard here in The Swamp on this beautiful November Day.

Something like the wettest May in 78 years on tap.

I say let's keep it going and go for wettest May in 100 years or whatever it takes to get us absolutely soaked.

Slugs are happy.

Wet day! love it. 

[ShawniganLake]

Another absolutely putrid day here

WTF?

We wanted to protect our windows and lights from possibly large hail. Don't care about dents.

[MossMan]

.45” on the day, 3.93” for the month. 
Rain has finally let up. Glad I mowed yesterday.

  thunderstorms should be waning in the Idaho Panhandle. 
   
  Possible hazards/impacts in the affected areas include: 
  - Dangerous Lightning 
  - Wind gusts nearing 60 mph with possible building damage and 
    topling high profile vehicles. 
  - Sudden, heavy rain flooding roads and drainages and causing 
    debris flows in 2021 burn areas.

  For this afternoon and evening, be on the lookout for darkening  
  sky and the rumble of thunder. Take shelter and let storms pass

HIO picked up over 0.5 inches of rain with those heavy showers earlier, PDX only picked up 0.14 inches.

12z EPS

 

Not quite as good as a few days ago but still not terrible. At least the operational was an outlier toward the end of the run.

This looks okay but I don't trust it.  It's kind of looked like this after about day six or seven for weeks now and it seems to revert back to cold and rain in the longer range.

[MossMan]

My landscape color is definitely still behind. I also lost a few different shrubs most likely on the 3 degree morning in December. 

[RentonHill]

wet day in twisp. Up to 0.30. Will take as much as we can get up there atm

18Z GFS is now our only friend showing nice weather next weekend.   We are screwed. 

[Skagit Weather]

Sunny and warm (61F) after 0.46" of rain earlier.

Bet it would have been even colder if it hadn’t clouded or rained all month

The coldness was mostly due to very cold troughs digging over us.  A lot of wet springs aren't all that cold.

Yeah...it seems like serious problems with plants getting killed begin once it gets below 10.  Very impressive that you dropped to 3 last winter.

[TT-SEA]

62 with sun breaks out here now... feels humid.    This does help the vegetation finally get that full summer look.

Wow, a low temp of 3? Looking at stations near me we probably dropped to 21/22. HIO went to 19 and PDX only got down to 24.

Lovely. Could really use some of that here.

Just heard some thunder.  Could get interesting....

Yeah I had to look back at which day, looked like the morning of the 27th. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Getting some sunbreaks here. 0.63” today and 2.98” so far this month. 

[MossMan]

Major dumpage currently after a little sun earlier. Should be hitting the 4” mark for the month shortly. 

[skywatcher]

60 degrees, heavy rain, and distant thunder. Fun weather!

[skywatcher]

Meanwhile, along the King/Pierce county line

How much snow did you have during that event? That looks like a lot! During that event I probably had 2.5-3 inches and according to weather stations near me, a low of 21/22 and 1 subfreezing high. I'm happy with that because it could've been a lot worse in that situation.

[T-Town]

Foggy

Have also had some fog on and off here…DP is pretty high so it feels warm too. Not much wind either.

I wasn’t very good at measuring but probably 25” or so total. We went below freezing on Christmas Day and did not go above again until January 2nd. 

[MossMan]

Up to .67” on the day.

Yeah, feels warm given the temp. Clearing now.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like a 64/50 day. A paltry 0.05” of rain. My 5 year old daughter caught us some dinner.

Nice and green there, but there is a reason California is called the Golden State.
