I think most people would use that term to describe half a foot of snow in late May.    😄

No way.

While I don't love late May snow I'll take the moisture and will happily take it over 93 degrees with humidity any day!

The humidity hasn’t started here yet, actually. Makes this pattern much more tolerable than it otherwise would be.

It’s only a matter of time, though.

Substation caught on fire last night in south downtown Springfield. City would have burned if this were August.

Partly cloudy and a comfortable 44F. Got up to 64F so a nice cool day.

Drum beat getting a little louder regarding a pretty nice holiday weekend before Junuary sets in.☺️

I think the ECMWF is saying you jinxed it.

After tomorrow, forecast shows rain every day through the 10 day forecast.  We’ll see if that gets pulled back.  This comes after rain on the last 4 days. 

.        just a relentlessly wet spring.

It’s actually been pretty dry and sunny overall.  I would say the driest/sunniest I ever remember which was why I was surprised it was so green east of the mountains still.  I’m assuming the record snow has helped with all the runoff.

6" on the snowboard this morning. Didn't realize that record low highs are around 45 degrees right now so yesterday was a new record and today will also surely be another.

Dropped down to 24F, currently 26F. So glad that we installed greenhouses over our garden this year!

First day with a legit cicada chorus. Right now it’s just the alien drone (magicicada septendecim).

But man is it creepy. Forgot just how creepy until now.

I’m actually looking forward to it but maybe I should buy some sun lamps to help me get through just in case.

The latest member of the forum to fall victim to the horrors of seasonal first world problems disorder. 😢

Inevitable flip to warmer/drier should happen in one of the next few runs.

Or maybe we will finally get some decent rain...eventually one of these set ups has gotta go our way. Has been going the other way for awhile now maybe our luck will change.

The Euro/EPS have been scoring higher than the GFS/GEFS w/ this pattern so far. Better odds than the alternative, I guess?

First day of sustained chorusing. Not obnoxiously loud yet, but they’re gearing up for it.

I think it’s more likely than not we score atleast a decently wet pattern for a few days before summer really starts gearing up. No science behind the guess just a guess. Models look encouraging currently for that to happen before the end of the month. Wouldn’t be surprised if we had another wet pattern set up next month too. Gfs was a step in the right direction this morning last 3 runs have trended wetter for western OR and WA and the latest euro run was also an improvement.

I’m growing into believing pattern recognition and intuition is an important element in long range forecasting. So don’t sell yourself short.
