Man that’s scary! I remember seeing the Minnesota bridge collapse in the news. Before they redid the Sellwood bridge out here I would always have anxiety crossing it and would always try and speed up to get off the bridge ASAP. It was considered one of the most dangerous bridges in the world at the time and people were saying it could collapse at any moment. Now that they replaced it in 2016 it’s the only bridge here that can withstand a Cascadia Subduction Zone 9.0 earthquake. 

The lower deck of the Ship Canal Bridge scares me a bit every time I take the express lanes in and out of Seattle.

Enjoy the ban. Should free up more time for outdoor activities.

He asked what the best vacation destinations were, not the worst.

Anywhere in the world with nice beaches would be my ideal vacation spots. If I had to choose one it would have to be Whitehaven Beach in Whitsunday Island, Australia.

.09” on the day!

It gets better immediately after day 10 and that pattern shown on your map could be a ULL sliding through CA in reality which is usually not too bad up here.  

Looks like a western trough signal to me.

Picture gets muddy right at 360hrs but at that range it’s meaningless.

What did I miss?

Pleasant evening. I love spring!

No doubt. Near perfect, persistent pattern for warmth during a raging mega Nino and with record warm global temps, it all adds up.

We got lucky here. It was a lot better than massive turds like 2014-15 or small turds like 2020-21.

Could be ULL pattern as well... with coldest anomalies over SW.

She is actually standing up to go run up the hill and bark at something.

Fred wants to ban me, but probably decided not to because this entire forum would collapse if I wasn't here, my opinion and preferences being the most valid ones is holding this sausage fest together.

 

 

(It sucks that I need to clarify this but I worry I'll get banned if I don't clarify, that comment was sarcasm)

You need to repent for what you said about Bo Nix. 

[Phishy Wx]

feels like a year for an 'unexpected' mid April valley snowstorm after an initial warmup/early bloom

Hey Eminem once rapped about another white boy who fell in the draft and turned that straw into gold.

I do?

I’m not a spiteful guy. Pretty sure the only person I’ve ever wanted banned is DaBears. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Tomorrow looks fantastic, and then a GREAT storm going into California this weekend. March Miracle.

Oops that was a typo, meant to say Fred, idk why but my stupid brain mixes up Phil and Fred. This is definitely NOT not the first time I've called Fred "Phil", or vice versa.

 

And I love how at first your post said "this place would be pretty boring without you, especially in the off season" but then you edited your post to what it is now because you decided that it was probably too kiss-a*s. Also didn't you think for awhile that I was dabears? Still wondering what they did to get banned and what I did that reminded you enough of them that you were confident I was dabears.

Dabears made a reappearance under another moniker during the January blast. Then disappeared again.

I think someone thought you were another central OR poster from the past who was repeatedly banned.

CMC goes bonkers with offshore ridge after day 8.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Ended up with coolish and showery 53/45 day here.

Only 247 days until these guys are going to make for a great Thanksgiving meal! Make sure to leave lots of food out for them because they need to fatten up

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

35 currently, 45/26 day. 00z gfs was too cloudy for the eclipse, THROW IT OUT!!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I recently read there were only about 30,000 wild turkeys left in the US in the 1930s. Now there are millions.

[TT-SEA]

Lots of sun over the next 10 days per 00Z ECMWF... and generally dry.    Very pleasant spring weather.

One of quite a few recovery success stories over the past century.

Did you know Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird?

NOAA releases Model Verification website, good stuff here

 

 

 

[Cascadia_Wx]

The models sure are struggling with how to break the ridge down next week. Often that means it will just stay ridgy much longer than currently forecasted.

Wet morning here. 44 degrees. Have picked up over .20” on the day so far.
