The state of the snow now 4 days after it fell.    I've never seen such staying power in our snow with sunny days as well!  2008 it stuck around a long time but it was pretty much socked in the entire

Went ice skating on Cain Lake and Lake Whatcom today with Brennan and Mattias (Bainbridgekid). Cain lake was a good 5-6" thick and we skated from one end to the other with no worries. The lake is a re

Snow falling/accumulating beats any kind of snow just sitting there. Or melting, fast or slow.

True. I now realize I did not give the winter of 2011-12 it's proper due at the time.

Absolutely.

 

I love solid snowcover as much as the next guy, but I've never understood the hate on transition events. Go out and enjoy the heavy snow for however many hours you get it and when it turns to rain, go inside and look at the pictures you took.

 

I'd rather a 6" snowstorm that lasts 6 hours than a 2" storm that lasts a few days. More dynamic.

I take what I can get. Really don't care if it's 6 hours long or 6 days. It is what it is. I enjoy it all. Considering how rare it is around here. But I still become baffled at anyone who let's the weather determine their moods.

I disagree with the last part so we can't be friends.

1 year ago this date. Massively rare squall line thunderstorm with around 8 flases/rumbles, a few close booms. KLMT had a 67mph gust when it arrived. Pea to small marble size hail and winds around 40-45mph up here around my house.

 

Winter t'storms are uber rare east of the cascades. Last January t'storm occurrence here was probably in the 70's.

Long stretches of cloudy, drizzly, cold weather in the warm season (May - Sept) gets me down.   Primarily because it does not feel like the warm season and prevents warm season activities.  We can hike year-round so I don't count that as just a summer activity.    

 

I really don't care care any longer what happens between October - March.   Expectations are very low.   Snow and cold are always a bonus.   Give me some periods of offshore flow between the rainy periods and all is good here.

There are actually a lot of hikes that can only be done in the summer because of snowpack. Some high elevation places are only open a few months a year. Your family nature walks to city parks are definitely a year round thing though.

It does not have to be 55 and drizzling in Portland for you to enjoy hiking at 6,000 feet.      I realize that some hikes are only accessible in the summer... but you mock more traditional summer activities at every chance.    ;)

Ugh...I don't even want to do this right now. :lol: Such a worn out and boring argument.

I figured the hiking comment was directed at me, though. :)

I had to throw it in there.    I know I am going to be attacked for not thinking of the people who want it cold and dark all summer so they can hike every single day for months and months!

 

Obviously I am exaggerating for effect here... not to be taken completely seriously.   ;)

The Russians will have full access to the GFS by then. Moscow weather coming to Portland.

 

:lol:

 

Clever.    Sadly they might have access to much more than that after tomorrow.

This makes literally zero sense.

 

Jesse said some hikes are only accessible in the Summer because there is too much snow the rest of the year.

 

55 degree drizzle in the Summer has absolutely nothing to do with his comment.

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      Looks like this system might bust your local drought once and for all… it’s nice to see the stubborn patterns of the last 2-3 years starting to breakdown a bit.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      I'm rooting for a huge ridge to be sitting over alaska for most of our Denali climb, May 12th(weather permitting)-the end of the month/start of June. When I did my first Denali expedition back in the early 90s, we got horrible weather for almost the entire 3 week expedition, at one point temperatures were -39F with 80+MPH winds and heavy snow, and we never got a good day of weather to summit Denali, which is why I'm going back with the hope of being successful this time. I do NOT want to experience horrible weather like that again.

      There's some big supercells in SE Kansas moving right toward me and its very thick outside with a temp of 76. Really hope I just get the rain but I think it's going to come with some wind and hail.

      Polite Politics

      No, I am being serious. What has gotten into you? I have never taunted you. I have never been mean to you. You have always been polite so I respond in kind, even if I do not agree with some of your points. I genuinely found it funny you responded to my benign post thrice. So I am now befuddled. Because I pointed out that even though a lot of people might say they are sick of partisan politics, they still partake and fall for the common traps to get them to further the cycle, you say: - I love to taunt and that's all I do here - People like me make you want to leave - I piss in the punch bowl and come back for seconds I'm sorry, but that's total bullsh*t. I do not know your friends. I was not insinuating that your friends do that. I was pointing out the bigger picture. Does the fact that I speak my mind bother you? I don't mince words, and I do not take crap from rude, ignorant people. I have never found you to fall into that category, so what gives, Andie?

      April 24-29 Multi Day Central and Southern Plains Severe Weather Outbreak

      Getting a nice steady generous rain here after some thunderstorms rolled through earlier this afternoon… finally passed the 1 inch mark for storm total rainfall earlier. Looks like the heavy swath of convection to the south (in KS/ MO) might eat away at our heavy rain/ thunderstorm potential for tonight… however I am really enjoying this soaking rainfall right now without the destruction from yesterday’s storms.
