People think I’m a weenie/troll/karen complaining about summer 24/7, but they’d all be doing the same thing in my shoes.

It’s really awful. This summer was the “easiest” since 2014 yet I’m still exhausted. Time for a change.

I just think that living in the DC metro area and whining about heat and humidity is a little like living in North Bend, WA and whining about rain.

Fair point, but this could be my last year here. Should be finished with school after this semester and will be looking for work in a new climate come spring.

Hardest part will be convincing my better half to go along with it. Even a short distance move like State College PA would make a huge difference.

QBO progressing nicely. Looks like bonafide easterly for the meat of winter.

Not a single drop.

Cleared out quickly.

September 7th. We're gradually moving towards the return of gradient updates, 850mb/925mb charts, model riding, 6-10/8-14 day 500mb analogs, posting and scrutinizing every single frame, "notches", thinking Cold and SNOW!, and everything in between.

Was the 6th for me, I was still powerless that day from the windstorm on the 4th as well.

It’s like somebody turned off the weather machine out there. My max wind gust today was 7 mph. An incredibly calm day. 
 

Nov 6 last year — I think the snow level got down to about 2,000 ft on Tiger Mountain. Not unusual for that time of year but the rapid switch flip to winter-ish weather was something. 

[Tanis Leach]

Not with the NW, but Lee is now a Cat 5. No sign of an eye wall replacement, so I'm gonna say it, Allen's record of 165kt/190 mph wind speed record may be in Jeopardy (latest discussion noted a few models are calling for 170-180kt, 195-205 mph winds). 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Last November was pretty outstanding. 10th coldest on record for Oregon. Always a major win when we can score a top 10 cold month as the warm ones are a dime a dozen. As I’ve mentioned before March was the 3rd coldest in Oregon since 1893. Kinda wild.

[LowerGarfield]

raining outside. Caught me by surprise. Steady rain.Only at .03 but the ground and pavement are very wet.

November 1st for me, just missing a legendary white Halloween here. We didn't get our first frost for another couple of days. Oct 19th is the day which 90% of years have had a frost before it as a comparison.

Big storms coming to the west coast this winter. Buckle up 

[LowerGarfield]

Heard a rumble of thunder. Haven't seen any lightning but my spouse said she saw some. Distant but enough to put the cats on alert. They don't freak out too much with tstorms or fireworks.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Kids had fun out in the upper pasture this evening. 

[Gradient Keeper]

00z GFS Day 8-16. I'll just pretend this is the end of November. Everyone on the forum will be shouting, "DIG!!!! DIG!!!!"

It really is. Wasn’t gonna post this in fear of Fred’s wrath, but what the hell.

Have never experienced hail in September in my entire life. This year has been so crazy in so many ways.

March was our coldest with records back to 1910 and it broke the old record by almost 2F!

Looks like a consequence of Lee undergoing ET and sending the polar jet into amplification mode. Maybe they will be what finally triggers a pattern change around here.

Another cool Space Needle view this morning.

[LowerGarfield]

Woke up and checked the gauge. Got .15 here and the ground, the grass, the cars, etc are all really wet. This is great since we started getting dry again and had that fire a few days ago. Unexpected blessing.

This is the first time I've ever seen a full BC map on this forum.

[T-Town]

Some fog here this morning. 52 degrees. 

[Cloud]

One word for me to describe Lee: Haywire. 

Last time I checked, this thing is projected to have 200mph winds, up to 215mph at the eyewall. 

Is this a glimpse into the future? The earth’s weather is becoming extreme. 

[Deweydog]

Froggy out!

Sunny Tualatin Valley, overcast Portland Basin this morning

[RentonHill]

Perfect Storm 2.0?? Marky mark can play his own son in the sequel
