Weather

We're right at 69-70 (flips up and down) with winds in the 40-50 mph range. Had our rain this morning,now it's sunny
 
It's been raining off and on all day. I've heard some thunder off in the distance, so it could get bad. The weather liars we calling for an unseasonably cold winter this year.
You guessed it because of global warming, the warming has gone to their brains and fried them.

Tornado warning sirens have been running for 20 mins. We have to starve, in the dark so we can lower our carbon footprint. Then everything will be fine.

As of yesterday we have had over 12.5 inches of rain this month and it is raining hard today. My new bride is from a drier climate. I don't think she cares much for this weather. I looked up the average annual rainfall for where she was living, where she grew up, and the ranch she owned for years. Their annual average is 17.16, 13.15, and 9.48 inches respectfully. We already beat the ranch this month. We undoubtedly passed where she grew up today. And with eight days left in the month other is within easy reach.
I am not far above sea level. You don't need to go too much higher and all this lovely rain turns to snow. There was no snow in the mountains last year but that isn't a problem this year. I am not complaining about the rain. At least not today. While looking up those other rainfall totals I found our record rainfall for the month of December. In 1933 it rained 31.56 inches here. That would be one heck of a wet month.
 
This is fairly typical of a strong El Niño weather pattern in the Pacific which almost always leads to a warmer than normal winter in North America.

I love El Nino. If Anyone needs firewood I've got plenty extra. If this is global warming then I must say I like it.
 
Whether we have weather and whether and how we weather the weather is always a regional thing. the prognosticators have spoken tho, it's inner workings based on a secret formula figured out by an old woman in a cave in a Ky hillside.

The US Govt's NOAA, which is historically and notoriously wrong about 1/2 the time (or more). (will that ridicule of a govt agency get the thread locked?)

Yep, they have been saying we would get a strong El Nino year. The trouble is El Nino comes out of the Southern Pacific and we are wetter and warmer. So far this has all been coming out of the Gulf of Alaska. Certainly wet, but certainly not warm. This sure isn't El Nino. Now they are starting to edge their bets on El Nino, saying there is still a strong chance of El Nino.

Two of the three mountain passes are closed this morning and the other has chains required. Snow level down under 1,000 feet. Truck traffic is terrible on South bound I-5 because they can't go east on I-90. So they are forced to go down to Portland and then head east through the Columbia Gorge. Two big pile ups on the freeway yesterday. Holiday traffic, double the number of trucks, and pouring down rain this is a recipe of pileups.
 
Thoughts and prayers go out to all the people involved in the storms and tornadoes last night,seems like these storms are getting more common with the the el nino systems.

Ditto.

Bright sunshine and 71 at the moment. Had to turn on the AC last night because it was upper 60's and humid as all get out.
 
I usually prune roses this time of year, but after a frost about 3 months ago, they have now put on fresh growth and are blooming like mad. The hibiscus, turned black by frost, is now a foot taller and a brilliant gold from all the blooms.
