Ya Think. ?  You may just be right.  (.. have something, there.)

 

This would "definitely" expand the parameters where considering these observations. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Well the 00z is running. Can't freaking wait to see hour 372!

Please don't get my hopes up man!!

[Deweydog]

Seems more like January as opposed to February.

[Skagit Weather]

Look at all those subfreezing temps on the 00z!!!*

I don't think I have ever seen such yellowish moss before, if that is moss on the cliff.

46 degree sunshine excitement!!

[Deweydog]

46 degree sunshine excitement!!

Should kickstart everyone into winterizing mode. It'll sneak up on you if you're not on your toes.

[Front Ranger]

46 degree sunshine excitement!!

 

!!!

 

Hey, it is what it is. If you prefer 60 degree sunshine at this point over 46 degree sunshine, so be it.

 

Some men just want to watch the world burn, and others just want it to stop torching.

I'll take 80 degrees right now if it nets us some historic June troughing!

When I lived in the PNW, June was probably the last month I wanted historic troughing.

So have the models started backing off on the pattern change yet?

[Deweydog]

So have the models started backing off on the pattern change yet?

Depends on what you were expecting.

[Jesse]

Depends on what you were expecting.

I was expecting them to back off.

 

Sounds like a yes.

[Deweydog]

Change is coming. Soon.

[Jesse]

Change is coming. Soon.

Yup, daylight savings time begins in just under three weeks!

[Deweydog]

Yup, daylight savings time begins in just under three weeks!

That wasn't my idea.

[DareDuck]

Near repeat of yesterday morning here. Touched freezing around 7 and now up 52.

Same here. Down to a touch below 32F last night with frost and fog this AM. Looks like it'll burn off again by noon and be a beautiful day.

[Alex_Snakes]

 

 

Zonal flow while the east gets hammered with cold again? In 10 days? Weeeeeeeee...

 

I have been out doing yard work, stuff is growing, and I am getting used to the nice weather. As much as we need mountain snow pack, I really enjoy this weather. 

[DareDuck]

Stunning day. 60 right now compared to 63 at this time yesterday, but there's hardly a breeze which is making it feel warmer out in the sun.

Sometimes having a job sucks. 

[Timmy]

Sometimes having a job sucks.

What's that like anyways?

[DareDuck]

Sometimes having a job sucks.

I just graduated and am going to enjoy the next few weeks before the real world begins. Finding a job out in Bend hasn't been easy.

Be prepared to pay your dues!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Only sometimes?

 

Yeah, I actually like my job.

I hear the ski lodges are hiring...  Doh!

[Jesse]

Breezy east wind and 55/39 out here today.

[Deweydog]

Yeah, I actually like my job.

I like money, so yeah, I like my job.

[Jesse]

If only it could buy happiness.

[bainbridgekid]

If only it could buy happiness.

It can buy a jet ski.

[Front Ranger]

Zero model talk today...but they definitely are still on the pattern change bandwagon. Some pretty interesting solutions for the end of the month/beginning of March. Strong signal for big NE Pacific blocking for that period. And cooler weather coming sooner than that - not just frosty lows! 

 

The Endless Western Torch may finally be collapsing.

[Front Ranger]

62/26 at OLM today.

 

Shelton, after a high of 63 about three hours ago, is already down to 41 this evening.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yeah there is some hope in the long range.

Pretty incredible stuff. More what you'd expect in February from a warm, dry air mass as opposed to April.
