Popular Post Cascadia_Wx Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Some great discussion here today. Was fun catching up. Looks like PDX missed their first 80 by a degree. 79/58 spread there. 78/55 here with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Some very cool clouds this evening, especially to the west. Many spots should have another shot at 80 tomorrow before it cools down moving into Friday. 7 3 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever she compares a place to Klamath it is not an endorsement. Never been there, my wife went there a lot as a kid to see her step-grandparents and hated it...mostly the town but she wasn't too fond of the grand parents either. They chain smoked around the grand kids (this was back in the 70's when 2nd hand smoke wasn't harmful to kids). My mother in law doesn't really have anything nice to say about Billings either. I occasionally threaten my wife with moving there just to get her riled up.

Chewbacca Defense Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Got up to 72 today, I got the lawn mowed but couldn't get the fertilizer down before the rain showed up. .11" has fallen so far, and the temp has dropped to 58 degrees. We have the windows and patio door open and it was fun listening to the rain during a brief downpour that passed through. 3 Quote Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Defense Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 1 hour ago, TT-SEA said: My impression of Billings is massive oil and gas refineries and it literally stinks. And casinos in regular restaurants and gas stations. Of course I think that is all of Montana... but always seems really odd to me. Ya gotta get off the freeway. Take Hwy 1 in Drummond down along the Flint Creek through Phillipsburg aka P-burg (neat little town, the Sweet Palace has the widest candy selection I have ever seen, as well as awesome fudge.) I have helped run cattle up the canyon just north of P-Burg, and my wife's uncle owns grazing lands in the canyon. P-Burg also has a really good brewery. Lots of small/medium working ranches between Drummond and P-burg. From there it goes up through Georgetown Lake and on to Anaconda and back to I-90...absolutely beautiful, though to be honest, I think it is better to start on 1 in Anaconda and get back on the freeway in Drummond. Beautiful views coming over the ridge and down into the valley by P-Burg 200 from Bonner Junction (just east of Missoula) runs up to Great Falls, and while Great Falls is nothing to write home about, the drive on 200 makes it worth it. I also like the drive east out of Great Falls on 87 to 89 to 86 which dumps you off in Bozeman via the Bridgers. There is also a route from Garrison through Helena that spits you out in Three Forks. 93 down through the Bitteroot valley is supposed to be beautiful, though I have never driven it. The Ranch for TV show Yellowstone is actually in that valley. The Freeway (Montana Autobahn) has lost a little of its luster since they bumped the speed limit up to 80 in places. I managed to get a few triple digits runs down before learning from a MSP family friend that a lot of troopers don't like the new speed limit, and will actually cite people for going 1 mph over. I also NEVER saw a speed trap on I-90 prior to the 80 mph speed limit. Along these lines, the little towns and hamlets and backroads are notorious speed traps. 5 Quote Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly thereafter he took a slide down the nearly vertical slope, and he has never recovered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And AC costs money..unaffordable to keep the house under 75 all day (especially now). We usually crank the AC at night to take advantage of the lack of solar radiation and to sleep better. But during the day we have to set it around 76 or 77 to avoid a gargantuan electric bill. You know Phil, you could move to WA where electricity is the cheapest in the nation. Sure you'll get less cool thunderstorms and no Derechos, but we won't hit 90 for at least a few more weeks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
