I have changed my view on the predictable negative reactions on every post from the same 2 or 3 people who don't make any effort to converse.    I am living in their head.  They are reading and taking the time to react to all my posts.   Every day.   Forever. 

This does not include Andrew... who always makes an effort to have actual conversations (and debate) and does not robotically respond negatively to every post.  

why do you care so much about weenie emojis? Just curious

Nice wind gusts coming through here on the OSU campus. Also, going to Seattle for Memorial Day Weekend.

I don't care about weenie emojis specifically.    I often earn that tag and it fits on many posts.

But the reality is that if a couple people want to spend their days reading everything I post and feel obligated to react without ever engaging in conversation... then that is on them.   I live rent free in their head.

NBC news last night said Seattle is the 3rd largest Memorial day destination in the country for Memorial Day Travelers only behind Vegas and Orlando

I saw the musical Rent back in 2004. I think that summer was fairly warm but nothing to write home about.

Spokane looks in good shape to beat its latest 70 on record (May 21 1896).

1896... wow! 

There have been lots of cold springs since then that still managed to get to 70 before May 21st.

That 80 will feel swell and get me ready for the 80s/90s in SC 5/27-6/5

So is this finally the beginning of 2012 Phil’s mini ice age?

nah, I'm all over, few days with the rents and friends in Columbia, a couple days in the Myrtle Beach area for a nephew's wedding. then a few days in Charleston.  might make it out to the Islands one day.  Maybe Folly, maybe IOP

Are you coming out here for a family visit this year? 

I wish but have obligations this year. We’re talking about plans for next summer, though.

Only trips I’ll be taking this summer are in August to visit my Dad in FL, and then St. Simon’s Island GA, so won’t catch a break from the heat this year. Whatever, I’ll survive somehow.

At least you’ll be visiting early enough that dewpoints won’t be too gnarly yet. Waters are still relatively chilly in late May/early June.

So this is fun (volume down)

Lol. On a more serious note I had been predicting a strong multiyear niña in the early 2020s for awhile. I’m sure the posts are archived somewhere.

If you had to guess, what do you think next winter will be like? Obviously it's really early, I just wanted to see what people thought

I haven't seen lightning yet at all this spring, I hope a thunderstorm forms near me.

Yeah it’s messing with an animal flight that is stopping first in Portland, then continuing to Everett. Sounds bumpy down there!

Came into work today with tons of small hail falling. Beautiful out now.

looks like we're going to break the record of the latest 70 in Spokane.  Saturday is the record latest date and no 70 in sight.  Maybe we get there mid next week

What does the record date back to?

Board was down for a bit?

[TT-SEA]

It might not rain here for one week.   Amazing.  

That will be the longest stretch since early September.    We had a 6-day stretch in February too.    Technically... a 7 day stretch would be the longest since Aug 9-15 but there was only .01 in the first 9 days of September so that is close enough.

I had forgotten that we had a 2012-esque fall last year... once the rain started it just never stopped.   And then it picked up again in late March all the way through today.    

This is the 2021 rainfall stats for North Bend... the only other year that can match that mess in the Oct-Dec period is 2012.

That you have, my good man. I give you sh*t when you bust, but this was a great call.

[BLI snowman]

Wow, totally forgot how hot last June was. It reached 116 degrees at PDX on the 28th! Anyone who remembers that week and can tell me a little about the setup that led to it?
