Only one watch has ever been issued in northwest history (at least since SPC has been keeping records). 5/31/1997 in Eastern WA and NE Oregon. I keep forgetting was April 5 1972 a cold core event?

It feels to me like a lot of folks in Washington (not all of them, and not everyone on the board) don't have a concept of what it's like down here. I also feel like more Oregonians visit Washington more often than vice versa relative to population. It's the way it feels to me. Doesn't make it factually correct (usually I'm just misguided or overly use confirmation and/or negativity bias because I've lived a very sad life). I love Oregon as a vacation destination. Love the Oregon coast, central Oregon, the gorge, the Wallowas.
