Rain

UPS Grad, USAF McChord, and don't miss the crowds. Having a lake to myself even if I can only fish them a few months of the year will have to do. Bottom line, just jealous.
 
Seems like I remember a CM forecast not predicting the frequent 100+ temps we had to endure this past summer??????? Our long ranger predicts back to the 90s by the end of/beginning of the month. I keep hoping CM is correct but than reality sets in.
 
I feel like I need to come clean. I am wearing jeans today. And I'm not hating it.
Looks like I'll be back in shorts on Sunday, but as much as I hoped for a sunny shorts and t-shirt trip offshore from Westport tomorrow, it doesn't seem to be in the cards. I'll be saving big bucks on sunscreen and won't be hot. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

I hear ya'. I wore long pants and shoes and socks all week. Damn, shorts and flip flops is too short a season, and extra short this year with the late spring and now early fall.
 
I've been looking for a few yrs, today I found and left 1 on the pin.

West Coast mountains get early snowstorm​


An unusually cold storm on the mountain peaks along the West Coast late last week brought a hint of winter in August. The system dropped out of the Gulf of Alaska, down through the Pacific Northwest and into California. Mount Rainier, southeast of Seattle, got a high-elevation dusting, as did central Oregon’s Mt. Bachelor resort.

Woke up to a heavy misty morning…
Thick enough to wet stuff.
Sunny afternoon/evening now.
 
Looks like back to summer for the next couple weeks. Hoping for more unseasonally cool weather after that, but we'll see....
 
I have not watered my lawn this year. Brown. No Pic needed. LOL
 
RAIN?? Holy crap did it rain on me today! I was on a local lake watching some shitty dark clouds coming from the NW towards me…..it cut loose! Lots of thunder but thankfully didn’t see any lightning. At least I was prepared….had my raincoat with me. But a good day catching!
 
It’s August and I have not watered my yard in 3 weeks. Pretty damn green…

But...
Doesn't that mean you still have to mow ?
I'm always happy when the lawn browns out and goes dormant and I can stop mowing for a bit.

It should be a holiday, like in the constitution type deal.
:)
