The Swamp Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I booked 3 reservations. Lake Chelan... Richland... and Couer D'Aene. I am thinking Richland wins out but would prefer Lake Chelan. Richland is always the warmest and sunniest spot over there. They have a great golf course right at the hotel on the Columbia and great wineries and we can take the boat. And there is an Anthonys on the water right next to the hotel. http://www.golfwashington.com/images/course_pics/reviews/columbia_point_600d1.jpgI'm at Campbells Resort in Lake Chelan. It is 80 and beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The morning did start out cloudy but it broke up rapidly around noon. The last 2 days have actually increased the running monthly average temperature here as a result of the warm cloudy nights.

Farmboy Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Not that it means much at this point, but this is the Weather Channel's outlook for June. The maps for July and August had the PNW painted in with above average as well. Their June outlook seems to stand in contrast to Phil's thoughts of a troughy June. Not sure what the Weather Channel uses to base these long term outlooks on... 1 Quote "Avoiding unwanted weather is a key element of happiness."
