Your Weather, 2025

[Shades-of-Oregon]

The atmosphere river of pouring rain has almost come to an end. Soon I will need a canoe to get thru to the northeast pasture. The rain sounded like rocks falling and rain falling sideways onto the ground. Lots of power outages and fallen trees. Power has been off and on for 2 days. Electrical appliances thankfully are on protective surge units. Every time we loose electricity all the lights and tv goes out. When power comes back on the lights tv power restarts with varying degrees of start me up snd reloading issues.
We are entering a heat wave at 52F today. 9 days til spring.

Another cold front arrived, so it's again cold and wet. I kept trimming and cleaning during rain pauses. Compared with previous years, I am much more relaxed as I don't have to worry about young seedlings in the greenhouse (as there is nothing yet).

Meanwhile, I am 'hunting' in my own garden for those self-seeded plants, they are resistant, strong, and full of life. A lot of fun.

Things are evidently not as bad as in @Shades-of-Oregon 's neighborhood.

We were having 53mph wind gusts this morning. with some rain. The rain has stopped again and the wind is a little tamer right now. There are some electricity outages not far away but not all that many households are affected. It's unpleasant to be outdoors.

The Weather Service report had the snow level very high but it was snowing through the pass into Montana but just above freezing air temperature so things were going okay there. The pass through the Cascades has four inches of new snow adding up to about 6 feet of snow pack. Altho it is much lower elevation, temperatures are about as cold with "slush."

digits’ same issue here. Wind gusts to 52mpr. The tree limbs from the 80’-100’ trees that have fallen everywhere across the pasture and some about 4” in diameter have literally planted themselves sticking straight up in the soil. Roof on barn is covered , home and out buildings . I went out during rain breaks and cleaned up the southeast side of the pasture.

Some trees fallen in the wooded area next to each others hanging preciously sounds similar to an elephant call.
Neighbors came by to check on us and heard noise in the woods and thought it was an injured wild animal.

Loss of power the last few days and trees fallen across the roads blocking the way out . Lots of chain saws going today. Everyone’s is diggin out of one jam or another.

Stay safe digits’.

mixed forecast coming up yet nothing that sounds too serious.

rains yesterday evening and last night and now this morning. a lot of the snow is gone already and probably the rest of it will be gone in the next few days. still too early to think it may be gone for good though.

We are the local birds are experiencing early spring. DD's would like to have Digby murder Punxsutawney Phil.
VERY WINDY yesterday!!!
My back door got blown open.
It was a failing wooden door when we moved here.
We replaced it with a steel door, but, like everything else, the manufacturer went with cheap 1/2" pine for the door frame. I have been longing to have a new frame AND a deadbolt (with a knob to turn on the inside) for Both the outside steel door and the inside wooden door, where there is a step down to a landing, then the door, Then 5 1/2 steps down to the basement floor.
A Lot of details, but what Good is it to have the other 2 doors to the house locked when This can happen?!?!?
I resecured the old wooden lumber that is pushing against the door And against the outside of the house, since this is an addition to the original house.
Maybe I need to buy oak for the frame, unless there is another hardwood preferred.
Dunno, but I intend to research this.
We have a high wind warning with gusts possible to reach 50mph before 2PM today.
Makes the high in the low 60's kinda go away.
Good thing is that it dries everything out, bc we Are in the season of Mud here.

The second half of February has been more wet than not, with 17cm(almost 7") of rain falling. Now we are in a dry, sunny stretch for several days and it is almost springlike. Sunglasses weather! Warm and just beautiful, with crocuses blooming and birds singing. I had forgotten about what birdsong sounded like early in the morning. The soil is crumbly enough that you can pull weeds without half the garden coming along with them. This is kind of a big deal, because working wet soil is a recipe for spreading disease (and in the Pacific Northwest wet soil is what we tend to have for much of the spring).

While I'm in San Diego since this past Monday, and enjoying 70's and then 84 yesterday, at home in Southern WA, its been 50's during the day and mid 30's at night.

I tried to soak up the sun and warmth while here, but sadly we are heading back north today.
