What a waste! Just as tragic as a December death ridge.

PDX departures on the high the last 5 days: -13, -9, -12, -11, -11. Downright impressive stretch of troughing even by pre-2013 standards. The question is... where was this in winter?

Looks like PDX is locked in to put up a five spot when it comes to sub-70 maxes. Have to go back to when Milli Vanilli was topping the charts and America was gearing up for an absolutely awful pilot called The Seinfeld Chronicles on NBC in order to find an equal this deep into the TORCH season.

haha, that's how I feel too. But it does feel like complaining about the dense forests of the PNW is sort of like complaining about the sound of crashing waves in Bali. But it's true that the PNW has some of the best mountains in the world. Much bigger than what we've got here. I flew between Bozeman and Seatac in May and it's pretty obvious from 30k feet that Washington has better mountains. But there are all these trees and foothills and in the way. The Tetons rise from a perfectly flat, mostly treeless valley floor... epic.

I guess weather enthusiasts and soccer don't mix...
