Went through Eatonville, do they get a decent amount of snow being around 800’?

They do...have some friends and family that live out that way and they do get quite a bit more snow.

Freeway medians are as brown as mid July right now. Ironically, this should keep them from burning as vigorously in late summer thanks to the stunted growth.

No masks or snow piles here at Costco this morning.

Wall to wall sunshine coming up on this sunny Sunday with temps into the low 80’s. Now here’s Led Zepplin with The Rain Song here on KDRT, your cicada station...

You still can. The whole point of a boat is to spend time on the water, and you’re avoiding it because of…water? 🤔

Boat prep when dry is much more preferable. I like to keep the inside of my boat as dry as possible.

I think you just grew out of the typical springs of old where it was you and Tim going back and forth about six of one/half dozen of another.  Phil has picked up that torch.

Starting to grow out of that crap has definitely played a role. But in my defense the weather has also been incredibly dead this spring. The discussion here tends to be better here when there is active weather to discuss. Otherwise it’s mostly just a sea of yard/boating pics and cicada updates lately.

Busy day at the lake! And we are at the perfect trajectory to have whatever is not secured come right into our beach when there is a NW wind blowing. Today it’s a paddle boat! Usually it’s canoes, Kayaks, wakeboards, tubes, floating docks, and still the stray knee board or two. Once we even had a 50K decked out bass boat wash up!

Sand bar is almost above the surface now... and it is some places.   Good enough to ride up on it and park and let the kids play.

I have indeed noticed a trend for the weather to be more substantively discussed when the weather it active.  We’ll have to look into that.

Meanwhile, here’s a boat/yard combo pic!

Been kind of a goldilocks month after the warm April. Just persistently mild so far with little variation.

Actually looks like PDX's 82 might hold as their high for the month, which would be the lowest May max there since 2011. Although I probably just jinxed it.

Only took six hours!

Boats go on the water? I sure hope it's a  Hussenrod as here is a fun fact:

"Most helicopter pilots say they prefer rescuing people from Hussenrods then from any other boats!

Nice day. We have 6 cords of mixed wood,

mostly oak and maple, from the ice storm. Much more still to haul up, stack, and eventually begin splitting.

Models are a disaster.

Driest spring on record is nearly a lock. 

Disaster? It's going exactly the way the global elites want it. Maybe a disaster for us but profit and power for them and the global insurance agencies! Watch for massive land grabs/water wars and political boundary changes in the next few years. And that will be the 'nice' scenario.

And you need 32 cords of wood to create Tarry Town which somehow Link fits it all into his pocket?  Sorry Andrew but 6 cords is no where near enough. Keep collecting! 😲🤣🤣🔫🛸

Looks like we have some exceptional (for recent times) min temps coming up later this week.  The ECMWF and GFS are both advertising back to back lows in the 30s for later this week.  I've only recorded 3 lows below 40 after May 20 in the 20 years I've lived here and those were only either 38 or 39.  As it is, even the recent mins have been chillier than normal in favored locations.

We continue to see situations this year where we are getting chilly air masses with fairly dry northerly flow.

I was at Silver Falls back in March. I remember on the way back up in north Marion County where ice accumulation was up to 2" most of the oak trees were damaged or split in some way.

They’ve been emerging steadily here this evening as well. Which is kind of surprising given it was raining and in the 50s during the second half of the day.

Guesstimating at least 10-15,000 new holes popped up today in the rain (with the nymphs still inside). Adding to the 100,000+ already visible outside the woods (and likely many more in the woods).

It’s gonna get wild when the death ridge takes over later in the week. They’ll probably all erupt simultaneously between Wednesday - Friday.

We had approximately 17 minutes of total sun today, the marine layer burned off just past our backyard briefly, our neighbor across the street to the east (75 feet) probably got 25 minutes of total sun.

First time I have seen my property line be the end of the line for cloud burn off.
