Phil Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I want 120 degrees and every living thing to die in the summer... and you want 37-degree drizzle and thick low clouds for the entire summer. I get it! It is what is. And all Republicans are racist and all Democrats are left wing nuts burning cities to the ground. Not much we can do about it.I honestly think you would prefer living Death Valley to another summer like 2011 in the PNW. There’s no shame in admitting it.

snow_wizard Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 March of 1955 only topped out at 60 for PDX. Pretty good chance they get well above that in the 5-10 day range assuming the models don’t change. I wasn't talking about March, but I get what you're saying. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 As I said. I don’t mind the warmth. Just the dryness. I have stated multiple times that I am sick of 40s and don’t want to see another one until November. Rain is not always synonymous with cold. Give me some 60 degree spring showers and I won’t complain. 60 degree rain isn't going to happen this early. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

TT-SEA Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Something tells me that six months from now we might look back at the last five weeks as a cold blip on the radar in an overall warm and dry year. I get this sense as well. Probably the opposite of 1955 overall. That year seems to come up on here every spring.

snow_wizard Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Just drove through the north end of maple valley. Still a good 5-6 inches of snow on the ground in spots. Snowwizard must be pretty disappointed seeing that areas just 5 miles from him got blasted. I am really disappointed by that. If the warmest layer of the atmosphere had been about 2 degrees colder with that huge event it would have been all snow here. I had freezing snow mixed with rain for much of it. Hard to pull off that combo. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

ShawniganLake Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Average low for the first 9 days of March here is 24.1F. Pretty crazy and consistent with the dry cold since Valentine’s Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 12Z EPS does bring in some mild zonal flow finally by day 15. That seems very likely to happen even if the models were not showing it. There has to be a rainy period in March at some point. I will be cheering for this as well.

snow_wizard Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Veto power when it comes to funding is totally reasonable, but dictating "You are going to MSU because father said so" is BS. Parents need to learn to let their children be their own person at some point. But then again being the selfish hillbilly that Andrew is, I'm not at all surprised that's the kind of parent he'd be. You are just so vicious and mean. You don't think parents deserve to have some say since they are paying for their child to go to college? The meanness of some people on the left is going to be their downfall IMO. I can get pretty mean, but all I'm doing is reacting to people who don't follow the golden rule. It's so easy to treat other as you want to be treated, but the left has to get in your face about everything. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
