No thunder here, at least not yet.

May see some in a few days in New Mexico. Unfortunately that trip is because suddenly it’s looking like my mother is not going to be around much longer.

Sorry to hear that. Sending prayers your way.

It’s actually not all that cooler than previous mornings, but the air does have this marine feel to it once more.

Westerlies with cooling aloft may do their job.

Topped out at 88 yesterday, had a literal 5-8 second deluge of rain, then it stopped.  Looks like there was some lightning in the area, but nothing within earshot of my house.  It popped up to 66 briefly, but now 63 with the winds starting to crank.

The man has 5 kids including a baby. Real sleep left his life a long time ago. 

I cannot even fathom having a 3rd kid let alone 5…I love my 3 and 8 year olds but wow there are days where I feel like 10 years have been taken off of my life between lack of sleep and just worrying about them in general since they both tend to be daredevils! 

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

I was 28 when my oldest daughter was born. There are pluses and minuses to having kids early or starting late. My parents were in their early 30s when they started having kids and I think it served them well to wait, they were great parents. 
 

We may have another kid, but we both agree that I don’t want to have kids after about 40 and she doesn’t want to be pregnant after 35, so the clock is ticking as we are 37 and 33 respectively.

I don’t want to have kids too late either…don’t want to be nearly 60 when my kids graduating high school.

Today was actually the warmest morning of the past week here with a low of 58F.  Obviously temps are rising much more slowly today though.

My wife had a daughter when we married, then we had 2 kids together.  We talked about a third (giving us 4 total) but decided 3 was enough.  All in all, it was the right decision, but there have been a couple of times I have wondered....  That said, my youngest graduated when my wife and I were 46, so there is that.  My daughter has continued to live at home, but she has been a little slow to get the whole adulting thing figured out.  She has epilepsy so she does not drive.  That makes living on your own (or with a roommate) a little more tricky.  She is graduating next month with a BS in Business, and seems to finally be motivated to leave the nest. 

A good friend of mine has 8 kids, and he said it started to get a little easier after the 4th because the first ones are getting old enough to help out with the younger ones.  He is actually the one I mentioned yesterday that has the Pyrenees mix and all the farm critters.  He is raising a lot of his own food (especially meat/eggs) to offset the expense of 8 mouths to feed....well 7 now, the oldest turned 18 and left the nest last year.

So, @SilverFallsAndrew if you you aren't stopping at 5, it should be starting to get easier. 😆

The blowing and drifting at PDX and at points a little further east made their measurements with that storm pretty worthless. I would say most of the metro had 6-10" on average, with the heaviest totals in SW Portland.

 

Ah okay, that makes sense. The wind can make it pretty annoying to measure snow during storms like that. Surprising that the SW metro won in terms of snow, they've really missed out recently. I think they also did well in December 2008 though? From reported snow totals, it looks like the highest totals in the metro area were around Beaverton, Tualatin and that area. Not sure how Clark county did though.

12Z GFS has definitely corrected itself from the 00Z run.

Instead of 80 and sunny on the 4th... the new run shows rain and temps in the upper 50s in the middle of the afternoon.   😀

We did well in Clark County in December 2008, after some initial heartbreak on the 14th with the arctic front. I finished that month with around 24.3" where I was living at the time. Snow depth peaked around 13" on the morning of the 22nd and again on the 24th.

A high of 57 in Seattle on the 4th... with rain and clouds of course.   Very nice.

I got a relative that booked a 1 way ticket to Seattle arriving tomorrow and said he’ll stay as long as it’s fun and nice here with no return date set. 
 

might be a real short trip after seeing this for the 4th. 😂

From snow reports that seems like what area got as well, maybe an inch or two less, but I didn't live here. Looks like Beaverton had 22-25 inches that month which is nice because of how much they've missed out on recently. Most of Beaverton/Tualatin/Tigard areas except that far northern parts (where I'm near) had around 8 inches in Jan 2017, only like 3.5 inches in Feb 2018, at most 2-3 inches in Feb 2019, 2-4 inches of snow in Feb 2021 and last winter they had around 4-6 inches maybe.

As long as it’s not super hot I really could care less what happens on the 4th, for the record. We’ll enjoy it whether it’s sunny and around 80 or drizzly and 70.

Definitely fun rooting for the latter in the context of this forum, though. Mainly just to see the world’s biggest hypocrite have daily meltdowns, despite preaching half-assed stoicism during what was a literally devastating summer for the region last year. Fun stuff!

Yeah, I think the vast majority of people would take drizzle and 70 over a massive heatwave. The fact is the high will not be in the 50s in the lowlands in early July, any model saying so is out to lunch.

Nope, there are no actual humans in real life that enjoy that kind of weather. Feel pretty comfortable saying that.

It can definitely be in the upper 50s in the Seattle area in early July with all day drizzle or stratiform precip.

For some reason the systems in Feb 2018 seemed to not like Salem at all, they barely had an inch at the end.

We did decent but not that amazing either, maybe 5-6 inches that winter total, compared to east/north metro. One night I drove home from Eugene and it was dumping snow from about Brownsville to Stayton. Between Albany and Jefferson there was probably about 3-4" on the ground. But Salem had maybe a 1/4-1/2" from that event. It was a pretty solid stretch in the foothills though. We had a couple sub-freezing highs, some lows in the teens, and quite a bit of snow. 

 

Yeah the shield was strong around Salem that month!

Record min/max at SLE and Sea-Tac for July 4th is 61. Looks like it happened the same year, 1992. Also a about a week after a major June heatwave which SLE hit 105 during (Was their June record until last year.). And yes, it CAN be in the 50s in Seattle in early July, but it is pretty rare. Record min/max's for the 1-3rd are in the mid-50s, from 1966.

I mean it's happened before, even in late July during the peak of summer. Thick cloudcover and heavy precip will do amazing things.

Seattle's wettest July 4th was also in 1992 with 0.57" of rain. Looks like Salem had 0.86" in 1986.

You are so angry!

I don't control record hot summers any more than I control drizzly, chilly summers.   Its just nature doing whatever it wants like it has for eons and will continue to do long after we are gone.
