Events like this are really hard on me. Maybe I should take a break the rest of the heat wave. Or at least just go back to daily obs and model analysis.

The 00z models improved, I figured you’d be doing the macarena right about now.

I care way more about improvements in the believable range. Couldn’t care less about phantom highs in the 70s at hour 240 when potential 100 degree days are being steadily stacked on this weekend and beyond.

Glad I have a 6:30-2:30 work schedule this week since I work outdoors. Really understandable why siestas are a thing in parts of the world where this weather happens every single day.

Sadly the Siesta is becoming a thing of the past.  Having worked in landscaping and agriculture in the summer in Georgia, I wish it was something we did.  I ended up getting wrecked by triple digit heat while landscaping, and I couldn't tolerate hot weather after that (one of the main reasons I moved to the PNW).

Finally back down to 70 here at 10:45pm, after a high of 93.  I think the fact it is taking so long to cool down is the most impressive part of the day.  I  think the most depressing part is that usually the hottest day is right before the big marine crash, which isn't happening this time.  DRAT! 

Long day, I  think its time to pour myself a dram and toddle off to bed.

Tomorrow is going to be very interesting.   It seems like once the marine layer clouds reach SEA... it knocks at least 10 degrees off the previous day high even if it clears out by 8 a.m. and its sunny all day.   What happens tomorrow will likely be repeated for the next 4 or 5 days.

Storage space has become an issue for me as well.    My wife keeps telling me to delete pictures of clouds from 2 years ago.  😀

Yeah...I have like 3,000 photos/videos going back years. Need to clean out again or move completely to the cloud. 🙃

Reminds me of the smoke. Last year our temps were knocked down compared to what was being forecasted. Cloud may be different and it’ll still be hot.

Today wasn’t so bad being so warm and a bit breezy. I was thankful for my water shoes though. Had like 20 baby leeches on them.

Really hope that marine layer can make into King County.

I have to do the same during periods that I don’t like. It’s a nice mental health break when I take a few days off and reset.

Yeah my wife wasn’t very happy when I told her I needed to up the storage space…Again.

32,391 pictures and 829 videos currently on my phone. I told her how could I possibly delete pictures like this…Super bright moon lit sky right after the wind storm last November when the power was out! Or the picture of Pete Carroll and his gum! C’MON!!!

I got to go to my first Dodgers game in over a decade when I visited my parents recently. Down 5-0 and 8-3 and came back to win. Was amazing attending a game like that.

The strength of these trade winds is downright incredible. Haven’t seen anything like this in July during the post-WWII era, and in all likelihood not in the entire post-LIA era.

Yeah, Puget Sound did well in 88-89.

Downtown Seattle snow totals those winters.

77-78: 0.3"

88-89: 16.1"

99-00: 0.0"

10-11: 6.3"

Salem also had 9.6" of snow that winter, I guess Portland just didn't do that well. Looks like the November 1977 event didn't really do anything in Seattle either.

We got our first zucchini about 2 weeks ago...

Today I harvested 30 pounds of it and there's more on the plants. It's really a shame the world can't survive on just zucchini because it's hard to imagine a more productive plant.

PDX got some snow in March 1989. It even snowed in downtown. Here's some pics from the Park Blocks.

Those photos are great!

Maybe Gorge outflow stopped PDX from accumulating too much snow in Feb 1989? A high of 15 in Feb is crazy!

Yeah a COOP station 2 miles SSW of Beaverton recorded 2.5" of snow and a 14/8 day. The Gorge outflow maybe prevented a decent amount of snow from accumulating at PDX.

NEW Known Wildfires started today! 7/26/22

Washington - 6 (4 are under control by fire crews, 2 are being monitored. No major fires.) Total: 20

Oregon - 5 (Three have been controlled, two being monitored. One major fire in the state near Ontario.) Total: 17

Idaho - 2 (One is controlled and one is on native land with no action being taken. Three major fires all deep in the mountains, closest to Salmon, ID. ) Total: 9

British Columbia - 19 (Does not keep track the same way US states do.  None of the 19 new fires are being controlled by fire crews. One is a significant fire burning and combining with a wildfire near Lytton, BC again.  Two other significant burns are listed as "out of control" with one being near Okanogan Falls and the other north of the US border near Chilliwack.) Total: 43

I wish there were more places that had fried zucchini up here, that is my one complaint for the food we have.

Here's the weather map for the first week of February 1989. It was a huge Arctic Blast. The upper level pattern was incredible. It looks like as the Arctic Front sagged south through Oregon it just lost steam and there was just not as much moisture. PDX had strong gorge winds so it did likely reduce the precipitation. On February 2, SEA recorded .41" of precip and PDX just .01", then basically just dry after that.
