Rain

[wanderingrichard]

Rain???? Not supposed to get above the teem here, then single digits and low teens the rest of the week

I gotta go plow (again) once it gets light.

@wanderingrichard, Stay safe

Thanks. Just woke up. Rough night. Sleeting here. Just exactly what we don't need.

 

[wanderingrichard]

Take care Sir. I hope you are well stocked with food and a backup source of heat.

We're covered. The ABnB I'm at is on a farm run by old classmates. Trust me, not going to starve, not going to freeze.

Sorry for the hijack, again. Thought this was the right place to share

If you plan to fish Oregon this year please bring your own water.

Been watchin the weather (precipitation) patterns on my phone for a few years now. Lately, every time it looks like Oregon is going to to get some good moisture, it goes POOF!! It either goes northward or vanishes completely before hitting the coastline.

It is a little wet outside this morning when I woke up and peeked out the front door.

Area wide doesn’t look good.
Though it shows 72% of normal north central Wa, I noticed that a few snotel spots had over 100% which brought up the average for that section.
Overall precipitation is up, but a lot of that fell as rain or warmer temperatures melted the snow.

Not looking good. But we still got February, March, and April left. We’ve had years recently where there was some catching up on snow in those months.

We need less Pineapple Express and more Polar Express.
Not the movies. The weather.

It looks pretty dire, though I remember 1 year, think it was 2020 or so, where some late March/early April snows made a huge difference in a poor snow year. Hopefully, there will be some significant late season snows this year.

45-50° for the next week here.

I hope so, too. We're crystal balling it at this point, me thinks.
There was also 2021 where Central Cascades had 130% snowpack in March and then there was the late June Heat Dome and all the snow was pretty much gone by early July. And then there was the May of 2023, whoosh, all the snow gone in about a week, basically three weeks earlier than runoff typically begins in earnest.

 

[Stonedfish]

50° when I headed out at 6:00 this morning and 60° when I headed home. That isn’t going to help our snowpack.

Nice days, but yeah...too dry.

 

[SurfnFish]

In Central Oregon we're seriously concerned. YTD snowfall here at 4200' in Sunriver is a paltry 6", and ski resorts may have to shut down. The forest behind us looks like June and does not bode well for fire season.

Damn, that looks super dry. Hopefully that will change in the next 2-3 months.

At this rate, why buy cold weather clothing anymore ?

Agreed. I am currently wearing shorts and a TarponWare shirt …

And I am in Guatemala
