Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
Looking like it won’t be that much hotter down in Las Vegas and Utah than it will be up here later this week and this weekend. Figured when I booked the trip it’d probably end up being much warmer down there than it would be at home.
Great run, much less consistently troughy for Alaska when we're up there. The storms that move through are worse, but the good days are much better than the other runs, a worthit price to pay.
Over/under on the remaining number of Tim posts today reminding us in some fashion or another that it's been coolish and/or not dry over the last two weeks?
I've got 8.
