One of our own #wawx members is recovering from a pretty bad bout of Covid. He's been in the community for a decade plus now, I've talked with him on Twitter since I joined the platform.
If any of you guys have an acct over there, go and wish him a speedy further recovery.
Hey all, I'm officially new to this forum but I've lurked around here every once in a few days since December 2021 to follow on the snow forecasts, and ever since I just generally lurked to follow the weather while learning things bit by bit.
I withheld on making an account because I don't have anything to contribute, I believe, and I wasn't sure how a newbie or an outsider would be treated. I have a very vague sense on how to read GFS or ECMWF maps but have no idea how to use them to pred
So... I checked out Sequim up there. Sequim is actually +0.05 for the year. Right in line with UIL and not drier than normal at all.
It appears the extreme drought is isolated to only your backyard. Because its almost perfectly normal where you work and farther to your west at UIL.
I have farmer family and city folk family. I much prefer visiting the farmer family for many reasons. If I want sun, we'll go far south. The rain and humid air really helps with the lush green grass for things like sheep, cows, butter, and cheese. I guess the same could be said for most of northern Europe. My gripe with that climate is the lack of extremes. Might snow even less than Seattle there.
You can always move and vote for the "animal first" party that actually exists in France. Very pro animal rights group. The benefit of a (pseudo) parliament - many different views you can vote for.
Lets do a summary since its a rainy Sunday morning with not much else to do!
2024 departures:
BLI +0.91
UIL -0.09
HQM +3.69
SEA WFO -0.32
SEA -3.65 (missing data)
OLM -0.32
PDX +4.01
SLE +4.94
EUG +4.24
AST +5.24
Those PDX NWS area anomalies are impressive.
SEA NWS area is closer to normal overall... but SEA really stands out as an outlier particularly given SEA WFO is very close to normal.
The talk of it being extremely dry is a false narrative when looking at the actual numbers.
