Today was the earliest ever 91-degree high at PDX (Portland, OR). This beats the previous record by three days. Pretty odd to have a heat advisory on May 3rd.

I picture like the boiler room in the Titanic… shoveling coal into the fire.

In a few short weeks, you'll be sweating to the oldies in that sweltering warehouse oven

Went up to the summit of Pack Monadnock on a whim this afternoon. Some nice views. Could see the Boston skyline, Monadnock, and in the second picture, if you zoom in, the Presidentials (I think) and Mt Washington

So what’s up with my rhododendron bush?

It got to 33 here this morning. I had everything covered and may need to once more. I normally wait until May 7th to plant but this year, pulling the trigger early has me doing extra work.

Low of 40 at 5:37am, High of 71 at 5:34pm. Great afternoon/evening for windows open.

its coming soon enough so I'm trying to enjoy this as much as I can

It took 30 minutes of sun to change the "tude". I think they call that sun angle.

Eff this crap. Can’t wait for heat and dews through Christmas.

May has a non-zero shot at being cooler than April. Can't imagine that happens too often

The winter moth (tiny green caterpillars) came out today . All over the place with silky webs flying in the wind and can see the tiny holes in the not all the way out Oak leaves that blew down and squirrels are chewing portions of limbs off with the low acorn yield last fall. . Each year the winter moth caterpillars volume has increased over the last few years, so hoping this year they really hammer the Oak leaves to kill as many trees as possible .

Moved today, new name and everything.

18z NAM even bigger than 12z

but it is the only 46 years of data we have for this beautiful region of The Great Lakes....so we analyze!!!

This one maybe is a little more accurate?

Saw a patch of blue and temp climbed over 50, better than yesterday's high of 43. (Avg high is 60.) Had a few IP as rain arrived yesterday afternoon.

We are more alike than you think!

48/25 is apparently dry enough to get frozen down here… graupel and mangled chunky flakes for a 3 minute shower. Dog came in with frozen pellets on her back.

It has improved since my initial post(when you copy and paste it updates).

4pm on May 3 and it feels like 41 degrees. This blows

The 12z Euro went bonkers too.

40s all day and powered through with shorts on. About half a dozen layers on the upper body though, ha. Channeling my inner DIT.
