TT-SEA Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 First day of classes so a little busy. I don’t really have the time or desire to rehash my well known opinions/observations regarding Tim’s antics.Antics? So I should just say whatever happened in Portland obviously happened here as well? Am I telling you that the weather we experienced here must have also been experienced in Portland... or even Seattle? I cannot ever remember the difference between PDX and here being as extreme as it was for such an extended period as it was for the first half of 2018. That difference has all but disappeared in the last 2 months.

Easy target given his backyard obsession, but still, I don't see where he is entirely wrong. His backyard has been a s**t ton wetter than pretty much everyone else's. 1. It almost always is.2.

Front Ranger Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 You posted the map back to February! And implied that it really only rained for 2 weeks. When in fact... almost all of February, March, and early April featured unusually persistent clouds and precipitation here Way more days with rain than usual for my already wet location. That was Phil. And posting the map back to February was illustrating that the last 4 months of drier than normal weather outweigh anything the previous 2 months.

Front Ranger Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 If it’s continuing the theme of delaying major troughing, as I am hearing, my advice is to not get your hopes up too much. It's better with the Friday trough (which is not a major trough), but does delay the big-time trough for early next week by a day. 12z 18z at same time The big trough drops down at hour 174. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

TT-SEA Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 That was Phil. And posting the map back to February was illustrating that the last 4 months of drier than normal weather outweigh anything the previous 2 months.And yet... 2018 is still wetter than normal here. So the wet periods are still outweighing the dry periods. 1) January through mid-April was endlessly wet here. Longest dry streak was 3 days... thanks to arctic air. Those months could have been statistically dry and I would still say it was way more miserable than usual. And we were running way above normal for precip for 2018 by the middle of April. 2) May and June were drier than normal and yet it still seemed like our usual crappy May and June weather. Some beautiful days and many that were chilly and damp. Did not feel like summer. Very different than the true summer weather to the south those months. We got robbed compared to the rest of the region! 3) July and August have been about as hot and dry as everywhere else. The last 4 months (since the middle of April) have been statistically drier than normal here but only 2 of those 4 months seemed dry. May and June were not not nearly as nice here as the final monthly stats would indicate. Not true in Portland. Not true on Vancouver Island either. But luckily July and August have felt just as hot and dry here as the monthly stats imply.

TT-SEA Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 You're just repeating everything over and over, Tim. Hoping you get it... not all dry months are created equal. Hence the complaining about being robbed in May and June... Randy had the same feeling. That was a pretty crappy way to get 2 drier than normal warm season months! Nothing like May and June of 2015 which were also statistically dry and really felt like it. At best... this year felt fairly typical with summer finally arriving on July 4th. Not all wet months are created equal either. The second half of April was really nice despite being a ridiculously wet month.
