March 2015 PNW Discussion

Kind of an interesting "low", being pushed down, adjacent to the Coast by some colder air having chopped through some lesser ridge type energy.

Most people like flowers.

 

Our yard last July... we do all of the work ourselves and love it.

 

 

Why do you feel the need to drive a point home, does it make you feel good or something?  Your opinion is yours, mine is mine, no evidence needed Tim.

[GHweatherChris]

My favorite flowers are the natural breeds that grace the sub-alpine and alpine meadows of the high Cascades for a few short months each year. The wildflowers of the eastern Gorge and high desert that bloom each April-June are also spectacular.

 

Domestic garden flowers are alright, but relatively boring. The daffodils in our yard right now are kind of pretty.

I agree wholly, natures flowers are awesome, but if I have to babysit planted flowers then count me out.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I'm not sure what is going on at this point....Just waiting for the 00z GFS.

[richard mann]

Your opinion ..

You're missing the point. It's more of an "agenda" type thing. (You won't be able to stop it. So don't even try.)

 

"Beautiful placement Tim." Selection "fair".

 

— The "Shasta Daisy" a good choice. A good flower for teaching your daughter to "dead-head" things back. (Trim back the spent flowers, for anyone not familiar with the term.) Please don't push the river. We need more cold north, toward the idea of offseting main moisture here more south.

I have good feeling you will see at least one snowflake this month.

[GHweatherChris]

Oh, I know.

 

Actually, it may be more of a status thing.

Are you seriously excited about that eye-candy at day 12?

[TT-SEA]

It's rewarding and therapeutic. You should try it. Hoping to inspire you to have a green thumb! Vegetable gardens are also very rewarding... except in 2010.

[richard mann]

Nah. He just knows what he likes, and when he wants it. (And will tell anyone he gets a chance to. Whenever he gets a chance to. In either whether or both cases.)

[GHweatherChris]

Oh we do a vegetable garden every year.

 

But I concentrate on my career too much to worry about maintaining flowers.

[TT-SEA]

Oh, I know.

 

Actually, it may be more of a status thing.

Not at all. Then we would hire a gardener and it would not be rewarding in any way. My wife grew up in a family with 6 kids and no money. Her mom would have the largest vegetable garden surrounded by an acre of flower gardens. Still does today. My wife loves it on a purely natural level. So do I.

 

My mother-in-law would feed the entire family from her harvest of fruits and vegetables. She is a canning guru!

[Deweydog]

Holy with the ******* flower talk...

[TT-SEA]

Holy s**t with the ******* flower talk...

It's frost talk Matt!

[GHweatherChris]

Holy s**t with the ******* flower talk...

Tim hates frost and loves flowers.

Tim hates frost and loves flowers.

 

Chris loves frost and hates flowers.

Yeah... noticed it was going in a different direction starting about Sunday.

[GHweatherChris]

He added that after I quoted it.   I did not alter anything.   Bainbridge can verify that.

Baseball be much more tolerable on the 0z!

[TT-SEA]

So baseball is the top priority??   Or flowers?  Or frost?

 

Help!!

[Front Ranger]

I'm predicting highs in low 50s and lows around 40 around March 15th...but I'd gladly like to be wrong.

 

Below normal!

[Front Ranger]

I am past the point of enjoying frost in the morning. It is sort of annoying now. Like the sunshine though.

 

This is how we know you haven't had enough rain lately.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Our dreams just came crashing down!

[Front Ranger]

Except when it makes you stress over frost?

[luvssnow_spokane]

Our dreams just came crashing down!

Honestly this happened months ago... Have you not been paying attention? where have you been? 

[TT-SEA]

Except when it makes you stress over frost?

 

 

Yes.   Except that part.   

[luvssnow_spokane]

Except when it makes you stress over frost?

When you are cold weather starved for months and years on end "frost" can be very traumatizing. Kinda like rain in southern California.

[Deweydog]

Help!!

I don't have to coach flowers in the rain.

[Front Ranger]

Dreams always come true in Bangor, ME. Cold, icy, flower-decimating dreams.

[TT-SEA]

I don't have to coach flowers in the rain.

 

 

You have an indoor batting facility to use on rainy days?  

[BLI snowman]

This is astounding. Phil nailed it again...

Their records only go back to 1953 at the airport there. Pre 1953 surely killed it.

[Deweydog]

Noop.

[Front Ranger]

Their records only go back to 1953 at the airport there. Pre 1953 surely killed it.

 

Still, over 2 degrees colder than any month since 1953 is pretty astounding.

 

SEA's records only go back a few years further than that, yet people still make a big deal about records at that silly station.

[TT-SEA]

Noop.

 

Baseball in March is generally stupid here.

 

The rest of the northern US starts in late April or early May and runs into July.   

 

Growing up... I always associated baseball with warm weather.   My boys associate baseball with being cold and wet.

 

For some reason they want to pretend this is SoCal or Arizona up here.   Even the major leagues knows better than to be anywhere but AZ or FL in March.

[Front Ranger]

Do you have a greenhouse? I hear those are frost-resistant.
