Still time for it to improve... the crash didn't come until the end of the run and dependent on a very strong ridge aggressively moving east into the GOA. Either way it seems the pattern is fairly progressive now which mean neither ridging or troughing should lock in for long in any one place.

Front Ranger Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 3 hours ago, TT-SEA said: The people who drone on and on about doing things in the rain are like the cocky jogger character on Family Guy. Look at me... I am so tough... nothing bothers me... I love doing easter egg hunts and picnics and everything else in pouring rain. But then when it gets a little warm they turn into big babies. Of course you can do everything in the rain and often have to because that is life. Its just nicer when its dry for outdoor activites. Cocky jogger guy reminds me a lot of overconfident big truck snow driver guy. There's always these idiots here who seem to think snow is an invitation/challenge to drive much faster than everyone else on the highway. "It's just a little snow, not gonna let it slow me down like you p*ssies. Cuz I got this big truck with big tires and an even bigger ego!!"

TT-SEA Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Palm trees in the PNW don't care about frost. Most are hardy to slightly below 0F.
