Meatyorologist Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 One thing that's nice about this ridge is that it's an entirely midlatitude feature. There's no 4CH component at all, in fact there is a weak trough over that part of the country. I think that is why we are able to see more ways to break it down easily and reintroduce troughing. If we were dealing with a huge, sprawling high with connections down to CA and AZ we'd probably be staring right down the barrel of perma-summer once more. Obviously we'll have to deal with it eventually as its presence and transient influence on the region is normal Summer climo. But the fact we are not seeing it yet, combined with the recently re-aquired ability in the 2020s to get substantial troughing regimes into AMJ, give me hope that the core of the warm season is still a ways away. 5 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Climate experience post. Speaking from personal experience, the body’s ability to adjust to certain climate is an amazing one. Having lived in the PNW climate for over 3 decades I wanted to find out how long it would take for my body to adjust to the heat here in SE Asia. I’ve been here since April 23 and the first couple days were absolutely brutal with the heat and humidity. However, after the first week, my body was slowly starting to adjust and now, little more than 2 weeks I’ve been here this heat feels “ normal” — so for me, it didn’t take that long. The biggest thing is to remain hydrated. Fwiw, the humidity is still shitty, but feeling less sticky and icky. Still need the AC to comfortably sleep at night. I’ll be here until the end of this month, quite curious to know what it “feels” like by then. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per his report... he was 12 weeks out from any sign life in early March so by early June there might be some tiny signs of life up there on his lofty perch. At least the grass might come out of dormancy soon. Interestingly... the trees are already leafed out today on May 9th at Snoqualmie Pass which is significantly higher than his location and farther north. Looks like you guys are running well behind us w/rt foliage this year Even more so now than last year. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 2 woodstoves in the house with a large surplus of firewood, and a couple plug in heaters that we don't use, just have it in case we need it. We have an AC in our window in summer which we rarely use, it usually gets cold enough here at night that all we need to do is open our window. Never had a point of installing a HVAC system in our house when we built it, would've been pointless for how expensive it is. 1 Quote Coldest temp this winter: -7 Jan 13th Snow depth at Mount Bachelor (last updated April 29th) 88" Snow depth at my home (updated April 29th) late season 1"! 23-24 seasonal snowfall at home (updated April 29th) 92"!!

Sunriver Snow Zone Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 First off I will clarify, I don't know s**t about forecasting for alaska, but it seems like the weather is looking decent for our Denali expedition starting Sunday, seems like 1/3rd of the days will be pretty clear and the other days will be somewhat cold and snowy but it's not looking like we'll have many major storms to bring us extreme cold winds and heavy snow, those storms are usually what you have to worry about. 20-40% of the days being nice is usually all you need to be able to summit, the bad weather days are used for altitude acclimation. Not sure if we'll actually be able to land on the Kahiltna glacier on Sunday, that's when our air taxi is reserved but it often gets delayed because of weather. Forecast is calling for light snow in the morning without much wind and I am yet to be informed if they can fly in those conditions, hopefully they can because otherwise we'll have to wait till Wednesday to fly to the glacier.

Apparently they are going to reintroduce 25 bears into the ecosystem… As a selfish person who often goes solo backpacking there, screw that and screw the bears. It was bad enough having them in Wyoming and Montana where i have had a few grizzly charges in my lifetime, now they're putting them in Washington too... I understand how rare grizzly attacks are and that it's not common enough for if to be something worth worrying about, and how they benefit the eco system, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd prefer not having them. I love a friendly encounter with them, they are beautiful and amazing creatures to see, but I've had few too many unfriendly counters with the grizzlies for me to want to be anywear near them. Afterall, bear spray is only 94% effective at deterring a charging grizz. 1 Quote Coldest temp this winter: -7 Jan 13th Snow depth at Mount Bachelor (last updated April 29th) 88" Snow depth at my home (updated April 29th) late season 1"! 23-24 seasonal snowfall at home (updated April 29th) 92"!!
