Temp down to 50 after a high of 63.

Seems like alot’s been made of today’s front, but we’ve seen drops throughout the day like this multiple times during our more active springs

We liked this dramatic change of weather TOO MUCH for you.

Not sure you'll ever be ok with other people's feelings about weather.

Eh. Today will go on the books as another very warm day. Tomorrow barely gets us to average then it’s back to more ridging. Followed by another “troughy” period that’s getting more toned down by the day.

Today was fun, but it would be more exciting if it were a longer lasting crash to significantly colder or wet weather. Just my opinion.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

48.6˚F.

Mom and I went to get my car's engine replaced today. At the start of the appt it was 73F and slightly breezy with mostly sunny skies. By the end it was 55F and cloudy with drizzle, and gusts of wind blowing dust into our eyes. Love the meatyorology today.

Great Spring day. A little something for everyone that should minimize complaints on this forum, one would think!

You are such a wet blanket sometimes. Geez

Lots of good news in this screen shot... sun coming back out and Mariner kicking butt in Denver where it's 33 degrees and its the second coldest game in franchise history.

Cool little front today ! Interesting cloud deck as well. The first photo is on 205 bridge looking south. Zoomed in shot as well

I get the trepidation going into the dry season, but spring so far has been pretty nice and variable. Enjoy it as it comes then we complain once we get to our stretch where we struggle to have many days near the old summer norms.

Drove to Seattle in a dust storm. The suddeness of the wind was remarkable. Only .01 rain here though - disappointing.

From 72 to 49 all before it's dark.  Dayum!

Some of these really sharp cold fronts have pretty limited moisture.  I got more like a tenth here.

Beautiful morning at Rowena Crest. Got out there early to beat the crowds.

The change between 1pm and 4pm was pretty fun. Would have been nice to have a little more precip with and a more robust cold pool in the wake of the front.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

0.14" here so far. Will probably eke out a few more hundredths before it ends. Sky to the west is already looking brighter. 48.4˚F.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Wow, beautiful sunset right now at Oceanside!

Rain is wrapping up with an impressive double rainbow.

I hate calling people out. It makes me feel evil. But between all the constant negative reacts and the constant replies it feels like you're trying to act as forum police.

I get the climate anxiety. I get it. I feel it too.

It's like that quote from Holes "Once upon a time, there was a place that never rained. The End!" -Mr Sir

Haha, great quote. That was one of my youngest kids favorite movies, he watched it and made me watch it too MANY times, know the whole thing pretty well now. Must've seen it atleast 30 or 40 times.

Got down to 22 this morning and peaked at 72 at 3pm, now down to 45 with an impressive 0 inches of rain and cloudy skies, my backyard is flooded. Nothing too crazy about this front east of the Cascades, we see bigger temp drops pretty often.

Hopefully we can get into the teens tonight

You are not wrong, sure the the temp drop here was cool to see but only ended up with .01 precip, LAME, and tomorrow will be back well in to the 60's again, if tomorrow could stay coolish in the 50's with some showers that would help, not a very notable event to me either, IMO.

You replied to the wrong guy, (see bolded).  Prove me wrong.

Looking at the models, seems like winter is probably over for sunriver. We could maybe see some brief wet snow at some point in May, but it looks unlikely at this point. Estimated 91" of snow this season (can't always 100% accurately measure it because we aren't always here and our snow compacts pretty quickly), and I estimate our average is about 90 inches, give or take a dozen because I don't really know. I'd say we had a pretty good season for a strong el nino!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to 44. Rained for about an hour this evening. Big win by my Nuggets.

If it stays at 59 tomorrow instead of 60 or 61 that will make all the difference in this event.

Was pretty breezy this afternoon and evening here.  Only a trace of rain today.

Not really. But yes, lots of climate anxiety here.

Moderate rain and 44 degrees after a high of 73.

Drove out to Ocean Shores to see family today. Amazing summer like drive and being out on the Jetty when the front rolled in was a memorable experience. We really need to do a coastal meetup when we get the next decadal storm.

[the_convergence_zone]

The wind knocked over my mini greenhouse with all of my vegetable and flower starts. I salvaged as many as I could but it was a pretty big disaster from my perspective.
