Maybe in the air-conditioned movie theater watching An Inconvenient Truth.

No burning allowed today. So I kept my burn pile small and discrete.

I saw a ton of slash piles burning today. I try to burn every dry day between now and when fire danger becomes to great, usually around July 4th.

Hopefully climate change causes our climate to become more continental/dynamic. Love temp swings/records both hot and cold.

I have noticed we are having a higher frequency of continental patterns vs our traditional patterns. 

 

When I asked the CEOAS professors about this trend (prr-graduation), they did blame it on climate change, but also mentioned more studies need to be done.

74 today, broke a record of 72 that stood against the test of time since 1947. The 21st century maximum records are coming in fast and furious.

Can't wait to see them lose (i want you to be happy tiger, but I hate the Ducks more than any other team in any sport)

 

Hope whoever your 2nd favorite team is, wins it all. (Unless it's the huskies)

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Back in Sunriver now, 36 currently and the temp has dropped 31 degrees in 2 hours! Was looking at other stations in town, some of them are still in the mid 40s. Pretty rare to see such a giant temp spread between the low part of town vs the upper part of town.

This happens across all of the northern US at times in March.   Minneapolis was in the 70s already.   New York City was 74 yesterday.    It’s how spring works at this latitude.  Ebb and flow and battle grounds.    It was happening 1,000 years ago too.   It’s not a big deal.   Nor is wet snow in April which is unusual but has happened in the last few years.  

We hit 82°F on Thursday and 81°F back in January. The latter hasn’t happened since 1932.
