Yeah I did, what are you going to do about it? It goes to 384 hours for a reason doesn’t it? When you see a solution in the models it increases the chance of that happening.

Statistically, the chance of a solution 10+ days out happening is roughly the same as if you let a monkey throw darts.

Hello fellow Nest neighbor.

I convinced my family and gf to help chip in w/ the 30d archive “for security” but in reality I just wanted videos of storms/etc that I ordinarily wouldn’t be able to take.

That was my motivation as well!

Since I’m down in Portland so much if something big happens up here I can watch it from there and get a consolation prize.

They are awesome to have lots of fun! Currently I have my Nest camera on my iPad streaming to my Bluetooth speaker so I can hear the wind inside the house it’s scaring me though lol!

Monthly rainfall-3.56”

Warm season rainfall-11.14”

Max temp-88

+80 highs-2

+85 highs-2

I’m good with it edging off a bit but still sounding quite loud out! Funny thing is you think their done then they smack you again.  Kind of like ocean waves they come in sets.  

Sideways rain moments away 

58*

Forks is 31.58 ytd on rain. Amazing

I had 31.32” of rain in 2019...pretty crazy rain total. I’ll be close to 11” by midnight for the month and more rain is coming next week. It’ll have to dry out soon.

Looks like our lake house is powerless as well. This is just down the street from there.

yeah it’s been a pretty decent storm it feels like it’s been awhile since a good storm like this.

I’ve been out of town this week. Looks wet at home. Shawnigan lake has likely passed 16” for January and probably getting close to 17”.

 

Only about 8" of rain here this month, maybe 9~10" if you include the snow melt. However, we're taking a last good run at upping the rainfall total at the moment. Seems pretty odd that we'd get so little wind here with what's happening on the other side of the Strait, it's still very calm here. I guess it must be the Olympics blocking the south wind.

NWS Seattle just posted the all clear and winds are done on their FB page...Just as the west wind started nailing me!

Up to .30” on the day and the temp has plummeted to 44 degrees!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Portland’s climate has seen no significant wet or dry trend in the last eight decades.

I decided to delve deeper into the precipitation of what I consider to be our flip months of May and June.

Portland average rainfall for May is 2.50", we have not gone over that amount since 2014 when we got (2.57") and each May since then has run a rainfall deficit of over a half inch, at the least. In 2015(0.59") and 2016(0.16") it basically didn't rain in May. 2015 was especially hard on the ecosystem I bet because it ended up staying very dry through June(0.40") as well.

Portland average rainfall for June is 1.70", we have not gone over that amount since 2014 when we got 2.32". We came close to average in 2016(1.42") but that was already following a May with nearly an inch of rainfall deficit so still quite dry there. June 2015(0.40") and June 2019(0.45") were remarkably bad.

Count in how warm it also was during this stretch and you can see how late spring is becoming summer.
