Also pretty rare for March snow to stick around for more than 24 hours. Most of the time it melts by afternoon but to have it snowing mid day in March was pretty epic. Even if it wasn’t accumulating much.

And coldest DJFM on record.

We’ll always have 2022-23

Hmm. Seems like another hooked-on-semantics thing to me. I think everyone here at least implicitly understands that year to year variance still exists to some extent, and that running averages in a big data set don't literally shift towards extreme outliers overnight. But I would also hope that everyone would understand there is still statistical significance to eventually be drawn from those extreme outliers, and that they're not happening by some tragic stroke of bad luck. Unless you call being born into a rapidly warming climate bad luck. Which I guess it kind of is. Damn

That moisture plume has been parked over western WA since Monday and it's not going to budge until Friday. Same thing happened last week except in was colder. Just crazy persistence. Usually it wavers around. Southern OR and northern CA will burn all summer and inundate us with smoke despite our endless rain this month.
