Phil Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Probably when the original owners cleared this portion of the property to build it changed how the water went. I’m sure glad everyone knows my property better than I do! Sorry big guy, we are not dying of dehydration up here...even though you wish we were so you can continue your everything is dying agenda.There’s no new water supply there..just the stripping of nutrients/organic material from the soil via erosion following the lot clearing/loss of vegetation. Which decreases water uptake by the soil, hence your ponding of water there. Which renders those trees depleted of nutrients, timed perfectly to the recent hot/dry summers. Clearing a lot will accelerate erosion, which is what you’re seeing in that picture. It won’t change/reverse the direction of runoff. Or cause ponding that wasn’t already happening beneath the underbrush. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHweatherChris Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Technically true for JJA. But from June 18th - August 31st... it rained more frequently than normal in many areas of the PNW. That is the majority of the summer. And yet it was also warmer than normal... thanks to the high humidity. In the spirit of long range forecasting and based on my experience personally... Phil did a good job and provided a good guide to this summer. Its not the same as a forecast contest.You can't simply ignore 17 days in June from the stats, that is all.

jcmcgaffey Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 To be fair, this is not what you were saying before. I accidentally typed a double negative on the last sentence but what I said is exactly what I originally said. Not sure why it is so confusing. Just making the statement that more trees die from too much rain than drought around here and concerns that climate change is going to create more drought is not what most local studies show. They show more heavy rain and warmer weather for the northwest and also the nw is to going to be affected less than most other parts of the world. So in reality if we are very concerned about climate change and tree die off we should be more concerned about more rain and warmer weather. Although I do see trees dying from the recent hot and dry summers but I think that is a short term issue overall outside of possible a few trees.

Phil Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Not disputing your regional analysis. But July and August were wetter than normal in the Seattle area and out here. It normally rains on 13 days total in the Snoqualmie Valley in July and August combined. This year... it rained on 24 days in July and August. The rain was much more frequent than normal up here in July and August. And it felt like it was raining more often than normal... because it was. We never had to water at all the entire summer for the first time in 15 years. So I am giving Phil credit based on my experience. You don't have to... that is fine. It certainly seemed like there was a "much better moisture transport" this summer as he predicted.Dude, Jared would rather castrate himself than give me credit for a seasonal forecast. 3 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmcgaffey Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Most places, most the rain fell on a handful of days. And again, that's disregarding what was a very dry June for much of the area...that's one third of the summer. Overall, a very average summer in the precip department historically. That's what the stats say. One of the muggiest ever stat wise. I think this summer was similar to what summers will more likely be like in the future.

Phil Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 This is getting silly. The original forecast I made (back in March) for PNW precipitation spanned the entire “warm season”.
