  • TEMPERATURES

    April started off quite cool as the maximum on the 1st remained in the 40s, fooling any thinking that Spring was soon on its way. Minimum temperatures during the first 3 days fell into the 30s, […]

    • Thanks for posting your April report Jeff. I like the cover photo – looks like virga but I guess the shafts did reach the ground. Sugarloaf Mt in Maine just closed out their ski season this past Sunday, sounded like a “rock ski adventure” with rather patchy cover over their trails. I am sure it isn’t that way at Timberline. Are you all going to be in good shape for the upcoming dry season as far as forest fires go? I guess the fires get started most commonly by “dry lightning” or is it actually from human mistakes?

      • Hi Kevin,

        Yes, it does appear as virga in the pic but it definitely was reaching the ground to our southeast that day.

        You are correct, Timberline still has a long ski season ahead. They did receive 2″ of new snow yesterday and the base depth was still 133″ as of this morning’s observation. The season total as of this morning has measured 605″. No measurable snow is in the 7-day forecast at the 6000-ft level.

        Northern Oregon has done fairly well with snow/ppt this winter, though a bit below normal. Southern Oregon hasn’t done as well and will likely have more issues this fire season. I don’t know what the percentages are between human and lightning-induced fires out here but my guess is that more are usually started by humans.

  • After a very warm Wednesday, a line of thunderstorms moved through the state late last night dropping 0.47 inches of rain in my gauge.  Although a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a brief period of […]

  • I have been catching up on a lot of projects since Robin and Gideon left Sunday afternoon and have not posted any weather updates since then. I will catch up in the next few days. I have been cleaning up and also […]

    • That’s a very pretty picture, Kevin. Is that in your appt complex?

    • Thanks Cathie. Indeed, it is a side view of my apartment building, and I was trying to show the leaf bud action a few days ago. Leaves are fully bud out now (most varieties that is) and the grass is a lush green that is growing fast! Going out to my rain gauge I have to get through a rapidly growing crop of dandelions, and thick tall grass in a common area that has not been cut for the first time this spring as yet. Thanks for your comment, they are very few and far between unfortunately as our blog here has been rather inactive, with no new members and some like Josh and John Markle up in Alaska not posting at all in recent weeks. I do see Josh’s cocorahs reports he makes every day, however. Have a nice day! Kevin

    • It is beautiful! I haven’t seen Josh post lately as well. Hope he’s OK. have you heard from Leon yet? I wonder how he’s doing.

  • This is the weather that we have been waiting for.  Yesterday was gorgeous, both upstate and here in mid Michigan.  Highs were in the low 70s with light winds.  Everything is greening up and there are more an […]

  • In my latest post just published a few mins ago, I show two images, one is my featured image of Robin and Gideon, and the other was of yours truly and Gideon in a fun pose and imported in as media. In the final version on the main website, the image is always turned to the side and I can’t get it to flip to vertical. In my work copy it is correct.…[Read more]

    • There should be a way to fix that in the blog editor. I forgot where, but I found it once. @markingalls Do you know where it’s at?

      • I have not seen this particular issue, but I do know that when you go into your media and click on an image, it will give you an option to edit and in there is an option to rotate an image. I don’t know if this will resolve your issue, though.

        • That’s what I was thinking too. Thanks for chiming in on this, @markingalls! @kevinshaw, did that fix it?

        • Thanks for your suggestion Mark. I am pretty sure I tried to do that but will revisit it again when I get the time. Been paddling upstream with only one paddle so it seems the past few weeks. Various health issues plus my family visiting last week put me behind, lovingly so of course. Thanks to Nathan for your support also.

  • I was busy with my daughter Robin and my grandson wrapping up their visit here over most of the weekend, as they left here around 1600 on Sunday to fly back to Las Vegas, which they got safely back to by very […]

  • We have been in northern Michigan this weekend moving into our new trailer.  Our weather has been sunny but very chilly.  It finally warmed up a bit late yesterday to around 60°F.   Just over a week ago, they […]

    Kilauea has been making national news the last few days, and for good reason. The volcano, which has been continuously erupting since 1983, opened a new fissure Thursday evening in the east side of the Leilani […]
