At least 80F seems off the table at this point.

I personally don't care if its 65 or 85.      Just looking forward to a few mild, sunny spring days.

Someone NAILED the retrogression over a week ago.

That’s a good comparison. This one is interesting for @Phil

Bagratashen, Armenia (5,808 miles away) is the far-away foreign place with temperatures most similar to Cabin John

Clearly a less humid climate over there, though.

Also why tf hasn’t weatherspark updated to the 1991-2020 averages yet? There are some significant changes in the new normals.

Probably snow wizard or I. Started as a couple good long range gfs runs. We latch onto any optimism there is to find. He is usually the most optimistic.

Why would anyone use weather spark?  According to that, I only get snow for a short 6 week period, and only about 40 inches per year.  Same thing with Aspen, Colorado.  I'm guessing a computer does this and calculates incorrectly or uses airports far away to get their numbers.

I see why Tim craves that little slice of summer now. Damn that’s a lot of water.

Also interesting how the lags in seasonality reverse from fall to spring.

Yeah they’re off here too. Average high peaks at 90°F and summer rainfall is much higher.

They take surrounding stations and average them out. Which isn’t a good way to estimate climo, especially in regions with complex topography. Maybe it works in Oklahoma, but not here, and certainly not in mountainous inland WA.

Seems like a garbage site from everything I’ve seen.

Doesn't seem like this winter has been unusually wet.   

But yes Phil... your preferences are based on your climate and my preferences are based on my climate.    Did it take you 20 years to realize this?

Wow, I hadn’t gotten a chance to check the 12z EPS until now. Looking great in the long range.

Mark backed off to 75F peak.

It’s still going to be the warmest weekend since back on October 7-8 when it hit low 80s. Gonna be a beautiful weekend.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Weatherspark is drunk. It thinks August is my warmest month (July is slightly warmer), it thinks my avg high temp is 81 in August with a low of 50, even though it's 88 with a low of 44. It thinks our annual snowfall is 38.6", even though the part of town with the least snow (sunriver resort) averages 60", and I average 90".

 

Weatherspark Is a broken website.

Hoping to see that come down a few notches further. Three days in the 70s peaking at 73-74 on Saturday would be perfect.

If Cascadia_wx gives you a troll reaction, it means you're a normal person who enjoys nice weather. Good for you!

Today after 15 years of obsessively following its climate, Phil learned that it does, in fact, rain a lot in North Bend, WA.

Probably best to not give him the attention he is craving.    Just an online bully and keyboard warrior.

He will also be amazed anew at our relatively cool summer nights during his next fake visit!

Thanks. I’d have one with you too.

The personal attacks have gotten pretty out of hand today I see. Seems to be happening a lot lately.

Yes... you have been ramping up your sly, underhanded comments lately.  Must be because summer is coming.  And I would also have a beer with you because that is the best way to bridge differences.  But you play this passive aggressive game forever... pretending I don't exist but then referencing me every day.   Pretending you have me on ignore but then referencing my posts before they are quoted.   And those terms I used were not mine.   Other people used those words to describe you.  There is no other way to describe someone who has to negatively respond to every single post they don't like other than a keyboard warrior.   That is the very definition of that term.  Own it.

[Cascadia_Wx]

I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the persistence of the rain band over the Portland area today.

48F with some showers.

Looks like it's one of these days on the board:

Booked my first tee times of the year for Friday after work and Sunday afternoon and I'm skiing Stevens on Saturday. 

Told my friends to expect 50 degree sunshine on the slopes and to golf in shorts on Sunday. Gotta make the most of times like this.

My son told me he is doing the same thing this weekend.

Hahaha. I am a dangerous person who would hurt other people if given the chance because I don’t want 80 degree weather in March. Good one Matt!

There’s that late November precip spike. That period can get ridiculously wet and stormy.

One of my favorite times of year. We really turn the corner into winter around that time, usually.

It's OK Jesse.  Your can love whatever weather you want.   You don't need to downvote 400 times a day.
