NWS has their spring outlook. Warmer and drier than nornal for PacNW following the trend of the past 3 springs and also 2015. This could be even more important this year if warmer weather helps slow the spread of the coronavirus. I'm thinking it does. The overpopulated third world countries in tropical SE Asia and Africa all have cases of the coronavirus yet the cases are lower and the numbers aren't exploding (less community spread) like in colder locations. Yet the colder locations have far better health care. I have spent alot of time in the Philippines and at first I thought for sure the coronavirus is going to hit hard there due to the Chinese influence, overcrowding and overpopulation and poor health care Yet it has been Europe, North America and some other richer northern Asian nations that have had it way worse. I guess it's wishful thinking to think the climate and change over to warm weather is going to slow this thing down but anything that might (even a small chance) slow the spread of this virus is something I'm cheering for.

Just checking in on all of my weather friends during this crazy time. I admit I am petrified of what is happening.

Hope everyone is OK.

For the Spanish Flu some places shut down, some didn't. The ones that didn't paid the price.

Get well Weather101. Everyone else stay safe. Also a suggestion for social distancing is to offer to buy things at the grocery store for family members that do not have a vehicle.
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

Weren't there some thunderstorms/wind in the valley earlier today that caused some power outages?

Considering that we are almost in a complete covid 19 lockdown with not much to do, it's surprising that most members are also practicing social distancing online. It's certainly understandable if some are staring at the floor or feel like they're in a fog. Look up,stay positive, and pray that we get out of this thing sooner than later.

I was never much into books but recently saw a CBC 30 min bio on canadian writer Mordecai Richler and found it quite fascinating since he grew up on the same street (st.urbain street) in Montreal as me, just a few blocks away,and most of the characters in his books were based on real people in the neighborhood. It was a bit of a ghetto but I was only a block away from Fletchers park and Mount Royal Mountain. Have a lot of fond memories of wintertime as a young kid there , skating and shinny at the two outdoor rinks at the park and tobogganing on the mountain......I think I'll write a book.

Ya Gumps, it's funny with everyone at home there are not more visitors here. Guess most are bandwagon jumpers.
Temp this morning is only 1.5 with some showers. Cold enough for some mixing.

I'm lucky enough to live on a farm with almost unlimited tasks to do. I have been checking back in here, but it's the shoulder season so the weather isn't all that interesting. Glad to get some rain but now it's going to be muddy as hell again so maybe not. But things were looking awfully dry and Lyttons dmfire season is apparently well underway.

Were still waiting to hear from W101... Hope he isn't in an ICU somewhere.
