Things have been slow to bloom on the west side too. I usually start feeling my seasonal allergies in the first week of March, but I’ve only started feeling them over the past couple days.
Great photos Karl!

I would say that everything in The Dalles is about 10-14 days behind the “30 year pheno” average, this late-winter and early-spring. And a full month behind 2015. That year the apricot and plum and very first magnolias, peeped open in the last week of February. This year they will do so in the last week of March instead.
Had late February through mid-March been colder, with more deep Gulf of Alaska troughs and maybe even a late-season tease of arctic air? Everything might have been an extra 7-10 days later still.

The night before last around 12:30am, I noticed one or two lone frogs croaking outside, for the first time this season. It was still chilly and foggy at the time, more like an early winter day in Eugene than […]

WONDERFUL post Charlie!!! I agree wholeheartedly with your “investment economics” view of weather services.
Of course, for the past 20-plus years Republican Party ideology has been dominated by the capitalism-always-good-government-always-bad mentality. Rather than seeing the two spheres as complementary to each other, as most trained…[Read more]

My brother lives in Walla Walla and is finishing his senior year there, and he says it’s been miserably cold this winter. And yeah, our flowers on our tulip tree are WAY behind schedule, especially compared to the past two years!

Karl Bonner commented on the post, A Bitter January So Far, And Ice Ahead!, on the site Karl Bonner's Weather Blog 7 years, 9 months ago
Staying below 26.4 simply requires that the 2nd half of the month is colder than 33.4 degrees, which is very doable if long-range temperature maps for the Western U.S. are to be believed. But beating December 1985? We’d need to be about 4 or 5 degrees colder than that, I believe, and that would probably require another actual cold spell in late…[Read more]

I guess we don’t have to worry about California rainstorms missing the southern part of the state anymore, do we? 😛
