Phil Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Dewpoint is up to 43 there now. The air feels more humid here as well... and it smells more spring-like out there.Lolwut. There’s literally no decipherable difference between a dewpoint of 30 and a dewpoint of 43..or 53. They feel the exact same.

No... the absence of the strong, dry east wind and low humidity is very noticeable today. Everyone on here in the Seattle area will tell you the same thing. There is a different feel and smell to the air. Instead of a strong east wind... there is a very gentle south wind. Either way... its an absolutely perfect March day. I like this better than the last couple days.

I like this better than the last couple days.Maybe I’m just weird. I feel almost no difference until it reaches 65, then it gets exponentially worse. I “sort of” felt the sharp drop from 62 to 39 a few days ago, but that’s because it occurred in 5mins. It was still very subtle. I don’t know how you guys could pick up on something like that occurring over a full day.

Either way... its an absolutely perfect March day. I like this better than the last couple days.I know the “spring smell” you’re taking about though. It’s actually one of my favorite smells..so clean. I forget what causes it. IIRC it has something to do with releases from nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil near trees as their root metabolisms increase. I could be wrong about that, though. Research for another day.

They feel the exact same.This time of year around here, there is a very noticeable feel and smell to the air when DP's start creeping up. When offshore winds are predominant, you can almost smell the sage and juniper on the breeze as it comes in from the east. That extra moisture enhances and holds in the pollens that are just now getting ramped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well we've definitively decided we are going to be moving to the Post Falls / Hayden, ID area within the next month, possibly two depending on job opportunities. I'm so ready for snowy winters! On another note, another beautiful day today with a high of 66 after reaching 80 yesterday. That is a nice area.

TT-SEA Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yeah, we wanted somewhere that was geographically similar but didn't have the insane COL like the Seattle area. (Among many other things.) Obviously the Rathdrum Prairie is a little flatter than here but it's fairly similar overall. Trees, lakes, nearby mountains, etc. etc. Plus, I won't have to strain my eyes every winter to catch that obscure thing they call a snowflake. In fact, we'll probably be investing in a snowblower before the winter. That's a first! My snowblower sat idle for 2 years and now its been used so much in the last 6 weeks that it probably needs maintenance. It was a life saver... maybe literally!

epiceast Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 155 block returns. I'm not sure if that's what either of us want at this point. I'd love to see cutoff season begin right about now rather than another big blocking episode. Are you looking to cement that 3' snow depth in town? First ULL is on the house this weekend, 5000' snow levels forecast by MSO NWS(guaranteed accumulating snow in downtown Bozeman, one way or another).

First ULL is on the house this weekend, 5000' snow levels forecast by MSO NWS(guaranteed accumulating snow in downtown Bozeman, one way or another). Well as you know, ULL's still usually mean mostly snow around here through April. I'm just looking for a more active pattern to break these inversions rather than a stagnate pattern that we've been stuck in. This current pattern has done very little to melt any snow, would love to start seeing some bare ground at some point instead of just sun crusted snow.

TacomaWaWx Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well last winter was pretty good but the only problem with winters around here is the least amount of snow usually falls where I live. so many of the winters in my life I haven’t seen much snow since I’ve only lived in Tacoma and Auburn. I have been planning on moving out the Peninsula to the seabeck area this summer I’m very excited because they are certainly in a better spot for snow than Tacoma...which many times has had the least snow out of anyone. Overall I’ve lived close to the sound most of my life but the Hood Canal side is beautiful.

If I was going to pick somewhere to move to see a lot of snow would be up in packwood or Ashford or darrington somewhere in the foothills. I’m actually moving out to the peninsula for work reasons.
