HOW'S THE WEATHER WHERE YOU ARE?

[Graceface]

I'll feel so much better sitting out back, watching the kids swim. Bare feet, steaks on.

All this winter business will be a fading memory.

Yeah, then I'll be complaining about the unrelenting heat and forest fire smoke

Geeze that's right.

 

[Graceface]

Geeze that's right.

It's always something, right?

Actually, Our February snowfall boosted the Cascade snowpack to 100%, so we are hoping for a slow(er) fire season this year. You never can tell, though. Maybe we will catch a break this year and not be so smokey. 

It will be nice to not have to wear 18 layers of clothing to go outside. I've forgotten what it is like to leave the house without a jacket lol

 

[hysteresis]

@Graceface I actually left the house today, with my coat draped over my arm. Not bad. It's coming.

Yes, the snowpack will help, for sure!

You are like me, wearing a lot of layers of clothing in winter time

It's still winter. Just 7°C.

ugh, same temperature as in my place.

Well @MantisGirl13, we are quite seasonal here. Summers are very dry, winters are snowy, and we typically only see limited rain in the spring and fall. The precipitation has all been snow since November lol. It's a long way off from Seattle weather; those mountains change our weather on this side. 

You get used to all the sunshine really quickly here. We get 300 days of sun a year on average, or at least that is what the tourist info all says

Meanwhile, back when I lived in Portland, we had 56 days of rain in a row one winter. That is the norm on the other side of the Cascades, just ask @RebelleSinner

 

[MantisGirl13]

Wow! Sounds amazing!

That sounds horrible!
