April was running insanely dry for my area until the last week or so. It's a good thing we got that wet period. I really like how the chilly night periods keep returning this season. We've had a few runs that have approached the coldest mins I've recorded for their respective periods. It's kind of interesting to see the posts in the April thread talking about there being many consecutive above normal monthly averages. That hasn't been the case for SEA. They have actually done OK for how warm ENSO was for much of the season. 5 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Cascadia_Wx Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Started May with a low of 42 here. Last evening started out promising for 30s or frost by morning with crystal clear skies around and after sunset, but mid level clouds moved in later on. Looks like VUO may have scored a low in the 30s with some brief morning clearing. Currently mostly cloudy and 45.

They have a reservation system now so hopefully that helps out with the overcrowding. I’m also hopeful the timed entry reservations help out at Mt.Rainier this year. Some people might not like it…but it definitely will help with so many people packing into parks. It’s necessary after the huge crowds of people that showed up at rainier last summer to check out the Perseids meteor shower. Tons of people trampled the fields. Straight up disrespectful to the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like visiting the national parks became exceptionally popular with the pandemic a couple years ago and social media. It’s great that people want to get out and see some of the amazing things we have out west…but the some of the parks aren’t built for millions of visitors a year like there is now. I also feel like part of the problem is the type of visitors that come to the parks because they saw some cool TikTok videos and want to see it. Theres always been stupid people…but a lot of the younger generation don’t respect wildlife or vegetation. They just want some cool pics to post to social media. The amount of disrespect and unawareness towards wildlife ive seen in Yellowstone and other places was insane. So overall I think that most parks should have a reservation system. I think it’s a good way to limit people going in, but also maybe weeding out some of the idiots that show up (hopefully). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
