Not on the February train? We have had many January failures in recent years and it still manages to work out in February.

We still have February but it's looking bad.

With this late month window looking grim, I'm gradually shifting towards rooting for the worst winter on record here in the Portland-Vancouver metro. Currently that title would probably belong to both 1991-92 and 1925-26. No sub-40 highs, sub-20 lows, or traces of snow to be found. This winter has a significantly decent chance to catch them both by virtue of putting up warmer overall average temperatures. Let's go for it! Also a fun fact, this is the 2nd century in a row where the 25-26 winter has really bombed. Any one staying up to see what 2125-26 is going to be like?

We have been in Charleston when there is deep eastern troughing in April and it usually results in some fun thunderstorms at the onset and then deep blue sky and pleasant temps with a west wind for a couple days. Its quite lovely. April can be very gloomy here for long stretches. But then some years we can have a beautiful stretch of weather in April.

Today's weather was great, aside from it being a little toasty.
