Last year when we had such a cool spring I learned that bees really don't fly in temperatures under 10C

It didn't seem like my fruit trees had been pollinated (lots of blossoms, little fruit), so I looked it up

Happy to hear the bees are venturing out!

Thankfully, there haven't been many blossoms yet. Just noticed my first few open cherry blooms yesterday.

+15C and sunshine here.

Meanwhile +4C and mixed precip along the Western WA coast.

Take that Bono!

Sigh.

I am slightly excited by the prospect of a cool and wet summer though. I've been reading some outlooks that seem to suggest a weaker 4 corners high this summer. So, there's that.

I will just be happy if there is no smokefest. Not counting on it, though.

I'd be curious to see that.

That explains why it was a bad year here for fruit also. Had almost nothing on the apple pear tree that is usually loaded, it makes awesome dried fruit and the apple trees were pretty sparse too. Hopefully this year will be better.

I'm enjoying the dry days, today was especially nice, warm and sunny, the mud is even drying up. Sadly I see the rest of the forecast is rain, showers and variations thereof. The only high point is chance of flurries on night 7...snow is always 7 days away.

Then go to Hawaii

Unable to fly past the Shizmilkameenzz.

Today was a perfect meteorological spring day in the central valley with a high of plus 12.7c and a soft Annis road outflow with crashing dewpoints this afternoon,
felt like a mid January Arctic puff day.

+21C in my house!!!

Too hot El Neetzz air con. time.

Look at all that heavy precip off the Washington coast T.S.?

Rain showers and 5.7ËšC.

But it was snowing earlier this morning in Newport on the Oregon Coast. LOL.

A most refreshing morning walk in the rain this morning.

Very nice 24 hours of Spring. Sunny with temps pushing 15c yesterday. This morning we wake up to snow visibly falling on the North Shore Mtns, with low snow levels. Golden Ears Mtn looks tremendous...with very low snow levels due to evaporative cooling. They look to be receiving a proper pumbling of snow this am


Will we see snow today?

Models showed potential snows with 2-5cm for Monty but it looks like the precip intensity was lacking.

Now it really looks over for snow after this.

Promises, promises.

But seriously I like many on this forum think it might be over for snow for several years now...hope not, but the cards seem stacked against us for a few winters.
