June 2016 Observation and Model Discussion for the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

Back to the "If I did this" BS again? C'mon Tim, that's pathetic.

 

 

The radar looks terrifying right now!

 

I am very afraid of rain.

 

Is it below 90 degrees outside??   I might be trapped here.  I am absolutely terrified of anything below 90.

 

I am fetal position now.   Tell when its OK to get up.

I even put a "haha" at the beginning of that sentence to highlight the lighthearted nature of the comment. Lol.

No kidding.   

 

I know you were being dramatic for effect.  

[Phil]

No kidding.

 

I know you were being dramatic.

The only dramatic aspect of that post is your response to it.

 

We went just did this a few weeks ago. Why start it up again?

Because I am told that I have a "primal fear" of anything less than a record hot summer.  When I have said nothing like that.   But you say above normal across the country is terrifying!   

 

Wonder what the response be if I said the trough next week and cold anomalies in the PNW are absolutely terrifying?   

 

Not that I think that of course.

Finally some honesty!

 

Like I said, we're all here for you. You can be yourself like this here. It's what we all suspect anyway.

[Jesse]

Windy day for early-mid June. PDX just gusted to 32mph.

Dude, I never said that about you, and my comment wasn't meant to be taken literally. Obviously I don't think nationwide warmth is "terrifying". I said it jokingly, and I thought I made that clear. Alright?

[BLI snowman]

Weak t-storm in progress. Yay.

I understand completely.   Its not about you.   Just using your post as an example.

[Phil]

I'm not continuing this nonsense. Have fun creating demons where they don't exist.

[TT-SEA]

It looks terrifying. The primal fear response is still there

 

Phil... this was the post I was referencing.

 

Jesse putting dramatic words in my mouth.  

[Jesse]

Phil... this was the post I was referencing.

 

Jesse putting dramatic words in my mouth. Your post was conveniently timed since you used the term I was accused of using.

It seemed to me like his post was a reference to my wording.

 

Mountains out of molehills.

Regardless.    You were the one mocking me for things I never said.   Unnecessary on here.

[TT-SEA]

Finally some honesty!

You only seem to be concerned about me being unhappy.   Like you have been waiting 2 years and now its time for me to be miserable again and you can't wait.   But I am not and its silly to think that.     And you keep going with the endless psycho-analysis.    

 

Let it go.   

 

BTW - this last winter was one of the worst ever in my opinion.   Any change will be an improvement.   Barely complained all winter.   Just rolled with it (and went to Hawaii and Palm Springs).    I don't complain much any more even when I dislike the weather.

Just a little joshing. Breathe.

[Deweydog]

Perhaps yet another PM summit should be initiated?

That is your fallback every time.   Passive-aggressive.

[TT-SEA]

Interesting pattern...

1.93"/hour rainfall rate. 0.30" for the day. A chilly 54 degrees. 3rd thunderstorm of the day.

[Deweydog]

Just rained really hard.

[Tyler Mode]

At PDX, Sunday at this time it was 98. Today, 59.

[Deweydog]

D**n you coast range snowshadow!!!

[BLI snowman]

D**n you coast range snowshadow!!!

 

Have had over a half inch of rain here today. Plenty of juice.

[Jesse]

Nice day!!

[Tyler Mode]

Here are the only two decent lightning shots I was able to get in Yellowstone.  We had storms on several days, but most were during the day.  Finally this one edged into the overnight a little bit.  This is taken right at sunset looking NW.

Accumulations diminished rapidly south of Ridgefield.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

It looks like the Shawnigan Lake area is finally picking up some decent rainfall. Not a trace so far today in Victoria proper.

Portland-Vancouver is a convection slaughtering, dryish hellhole.

[ShawniganLake]

0.38" of rain here with some heavy showers this afternoon. Looks like the east side of the lake was drier, wouldn't be surprised if the official number for shawnigan lake is half of that or less.

[Front Ranger]

Once again, different strokes for different folks. Obviously his use of terrifying symbolises that he is not a fan.

 

You go a little overboard in your devotion to Phil. Just saying.

[Tyler Mode]

Sadly my coolest low of the month so far at 48. There is some decent potential to at least get below 45 out here in the next few mornings. I hope it happens.

[TT-SEA]

.75 on the day here... quite the band of heavy rain focused on the I-90 corridor from Seattle to the pass earlier.   Almost 2 inches on the month.    Its wet again.

*In North Bend.

And the I-90 corridor... and it sounds on the WA side of the Portland area.

 

And judging by the radar yesterday... much of SW WA.

I had a pretty nice hail shower yesterday which coated the ground in hail. Had to start a small fire in the fireplace this morning to take the chill off. It was 57.5 this morning in my living room when I got up. I will be replacing my windows in the next couple of weeks. Those 1974 windows will be gone and I will be ready for the coming Nina.

I'll be super curious to hear your savings on energy costs.  I keep track of crap like that at my house!

[Bryant]

You do realize that the whole 5 page trough or not debate originated over Tim making a "If I said this" comment in response to Jims post, in which I defended because Tim was wrong and just being Tim.

 

Whats with the unnecessary comment anyways?

Your blind devotion to anyone debating me and your hatred of me is sort of cult-like.

I think it will be fairly significant. I have a furnace, but I do not generally use it. Usually use the woodstove and area heaters, the area heaters are not very efficient. My guess is it will eliminate or dramatically reduce my need for area heat, and reduce the amount wood I use by 25%...I will try to keep track and see how close my guess is. I do think the difference will be dramatic!
