While the east coast is waist deep in snow. We're having some kind of el nino over here that's screwed up the weather. This time of year we get freezing temps and maybe even snow. Todays highs were in the 60's, plants Think its spring, I even mowed the lawn yesterday. It's nice now but the water shortages this summer will suck, not to mention the fire season. Today on the beach We dug a couple of limits of razor clams at low tide.

We were shooting rabbits in 65 degree weather in Montana. Let's hear it for global warming...

We are expecting about -8 below later this week. It has been fairly mild up to now.

I hate mowing but the grass has been growing and if I put it off the it would take twice as long.

6-8" of snow, maybe more, is forecasted tonight here. First real snowfall of the year that's amounted to anything.

Yep, weird weather in the PNW. Daffodils blooming in Lincoln City, OR when we were there at the beach last week & our tulip shoots are 6" high here on the Canadian side of the line. We have not had a single day of good tracking snow this winter.
Yesterday I went inland across the mountains to call lynx on the last day of season, and hit freeze/thaw spring break-up weather almost to timberline. At dawn the patchy snow was frozen so hard that I watched a couple of moose walk on foot deep snow without leaving a track (where normally the snow should be 3 or 4 foot deep powder). By afternoon some sections of main logging road were deeply rutted mud.
Nice bunch of clams! Razors are the best.

I saw a guy in a jeep with no top yesterday. The local mountain that has been the farmers reference for ever has been bare for a week. it is said that when it becomes bare, plant away. I have flowers coming up in the yard.....an I am only one county south of Canada.....
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Ditto on the exceptionally nice weather in Washington. I'll also be mowing my yard today. Should have gone clam digging this weekend.....beautiful weather.

Our flowering cherry trees are blooming like crazy. We have daffodils and crocus blooming.
The prediction today is for 65ΒΊ and hard sun. Same for tomorrow.
That is so weird, considering it is a snow hurricane back East.

Hi Jamie!
It's been some great riding weather on the East side as well. I've been riding my brother's mountain bike to work. I'm loving the mild temps!

I've been looking at the weather pattern over Siberia. Normally, the lows tend to oscillate west to east, causing the jet stream to flow in a sine wave-like pattern. That in turn brings storms to the Western US across the sub-Arctic/Aleutians. As the Siberian lows shift, so do the storm tracks here, from west to east.
Over the past two months, however, the pattern seems to be "stuck" with little oscillation. So storms are dropping in farther to the east. I'm hoping the Siberian pattern finally shifts and brings the jet stream/storm track back to its normal path. And it needs to happen soon, or the West will get no snow at all this year.

I should have taken a picture of the Olympic mountains yesterday, I had a great view of them. There's no snow on most of the mountains, Looked like a summer view. I heard on the radio this morning that a couple of the ski resorts are filing bankruptcy. If we don't get a wet/cold spring, this summer is going to be a dry mess.

Yeah it's BS. I had to pull weeds yesterday. Unreal. Got down to 23 this morning and I was pumped! Hasn't even been freezing every night for the last two weeks.

Southern Idaho has also been unusually warm with many days in the 60 range and little frost at night. It got down to 20 last night which is the coldest in a month. We do have a decent snowpack in the mountains so far, though. They're releasing water from the reservoirs to make room for it later.
