This past Sunday, I went trout fishing on the Yakima River with my dad and brother. The trout were there, but they were sluggish and not particularly enthusiastic about our flies. We didn’t had any hits on dry […]

September 2020 was actually a tad cooler but a bit drier than normal. My maximum temperature average (74.5°) was actually 2.6° below normal which was enough to overcome my minimum temperature average of 59.4° […]

After a week of warmer than normal temperatures, there is a strong cold front heading our way which will cool us down quite a bit by Thursday.  What’s worse are the winds that are coming with it.  We could see g […]

Today is yet another with plenty of sun and fairly mild temperatures.  Yesterday’s high was in the low 70s and today won’t be quite as warm but nice anyway.  Although we are having brisk winds, it’s still e […]

We started our day with clear skies but now clouds have taken over.  Temperatures should still make it into the low 70s today, but the strong winds will make it seem much cooler.  We will only have this weekend w […]

This may be the last of our very warm weather, with temps expected in the 60s and 70s the remainder of this week.  Today should reach the mid 70s.  We’ll enjoy it while it lasts.  There isn’t even any rain in th […]

We did receive a little rain this morning but not much more than a few sprinkles.  Now skies have cleared and winds have picked up.  Highs today should reach the upper 60s and it should be a very nice day.  We co […]

Today is the start of a week of very lovely weather for us.  We will see highs near 70 degrees some days, and well into the 60s on others.  Best of all, there is no rain in the forecast.  The colors are really co […]

We are looking forward to a warm-up in a few days.  All next week is predicted to be warm, dry and sunny, but we know how quickly that can change.  Yesterday was damp although we didn’t get much rain.  There wa […]

Our morning began with cloud cover but now we have partial clearing and the sun is out.  Unfortunately, it won’t warm up much with highs only expected in the low 50s today.  We are promised a significant warm-up o […]

After two days of rain, the sun today is a welcome sight.  Unfortunately, it is also very chilly.  There was a light frost this morning but what I h […]

The big windstorm and subsequent wildfires were the big news this month. Here in Happy Valley, very strong, dry east winds out of the Columbia River Gorge brought many trees and power lines down as gusts reached […]

After an extended period of beautiful autumn weather, we now have the opposite.  Even the extended forecast doesn’t look too good with the possibility of rain almost every day.  Yesterday wasn’t too bad with m […]

Camping Season ended for us yesterday.  We had to pack up in the rain which is never fun, and our drive home was in rain most of the way.  Temperatures are now much cooler but our last 10 days up north were g […]

Greetings world!  The month of September has been a rough one here in the Pacific Northwest.  Western Oregon endured what is most likely the worst outbreak of wildfires in recorded history.  The historic eas […]

Today was supposed to be cloudy and wet, but there has been no rain so far and the chances have been reduced.  We couldn’t have had nicer weather for our final week here.  Temperatures were mostly mild and y […]

More satellite eye-candy today! Take a look below (note – if you are receiving this post via email, you may have to go to the actual post to see the loop).

One thing that immediately stands out is the […]

Today’s weather pattern is a real treat to look at on satellite. We have marginally unstable air moving inland, and this air is just unstable enough to give crustal clear, bluebird skies over the ocean but h […]

Yesterday was a clear, beautiful day here in the Indian River area.  We took a drive to Cheboygan late afternoon, and as we approached the in-law’s cabins, we saw what appeared to be heavy dark smoke.  As we got c […]
