We haven't had a cooler than normal month since March...of 2023.

SEA has had 5 colder than normal months in that span and that doesn't count June which was exactly normal.    So just a negative tenth of a degree away from 6.   Which would be what would be expected normally... 6 and 6.

I will never stop advocating for working people as much as that prickles you! Or for cold anomalies.

That stuff is fine.   But revering Trump like he is Jesus?    Just another one of the many, many strange things you say.

Trees are blooming at 2,200 feet in Whistler Village at 50N latitude.    But somehow Andrew has 1-2 months to wait at 1,600 feet at 45N.

Is this the politics thread? Also the term crucifixion can be thought of as a figure of speech. You are inferring intent you know I do not have. Let’s engage in the marketplace of ideas with HONESTY. Thank you.

Lovely day. I must say.

No... it was intentional and used many times starting before Easter when you decided that Trump is persecuted like Jesus.    I heard he is really concerned about protecting the environment too.   

And you are the one who brought politics over here with your comment to me. 

[TT-SEA]

Meant to post this earlier... significant trend on the EPS over the last few runs to wetter than normal.  

[MossMan]

In other news, it’s already down to 47 degrees! But we still ate outside.

Gonna be wet!   Time to make up some recent deficits.

What a difference a year makes. Last year through the first 3 weeks of April, PDX had 4.69” of rain and was running 217% of average. This year only 0.62” of rain and 28% of average. We’ll be able to make some of the deficit as moisture arrives later this week.

Could be one of our driest April's EVER.

Pacific dogwood, BC’s provincial flower! Nice to see one that is so large and healthy (there is an introduced disease attacking them).

I’m in the dark burgundy area!

Bring it on! Was hiking today and some of the lowland forests are way drier than they ought to be this time of year.

That sounds so nice, but no. Got a lot of work done around the house.

This is some of the best news I have seen in YEARS. 

[Chewbacca Defense]

First time at my computer this weekend.  Got out on the bay and did a quick 4 mile paddle Saturday morning, the air temp was warm, but the water was quite chilly.  I could not believe how bad the pollen was on my car(pic below).  After kayaking I headed to a friend's house out in the county for a little DnD, and was there as the winds hit.

I talked a week or so ago about seeing clouds of pollen getting knocked out of trees in the south, well I witnessed it for the first time out here when a huge gust hit a stand of trees behind my buddy's property.  We all got to talking about how the pollen seems to be so much worse the past few years. 

We ended up with .27" of rain yesterday evening but cleared off after sunset.  By the time the DnD session wrapped up at 1am we were down to a very chilly 42 degrees.

Getting a little nervous about this Thursday/Friday, hoping the weather cooperates.  I have a thatcher and aerator lined up for Thursday, and I have 15 yards of top soil lined up for Friday so I can hopefully rehabilitate my back yard.

This is what my looked like Saturday morning.  Never had the pollen this bad out here.

Looks like there was a bear on the Oregon State campus in Corvallis this weekend. @Tanis Leach. @Omegaraptor

All I can say is we’ve had some of our best summers since Trump’s rise to prominence. Unprecedented greatness and winning. Let’s maintain that momentum and BUILD on it!

Good point 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Great run of spring weather coming up!

I agree. 2016-2017 was by far the best winter of my life. Felt like I was in Wisconsin for the better part of it.

Wow! The 00z GFS is something else! Dumps on the Oregon cascades, gives me 4" of snow, and is not warm by any means. We will be BUILDING the snowpack, rather than melting it in the coming weeks. I do not worry about Oregon having any water problems this year

Apparently one run is just as good as it happening!

59/22 day and 32 currently, 6 degrees colder than this time last night. Hopefully we can pulloff a low in the teens.

 

Great sunset at bachelor via their webcam, I bet sunrise will be a good one too.
