The Ocean is hella cold this year too, even in mid-summer.

Off topic...

We should have an LOP Pacific NW gathering.

It would be nice to meet like minded folks...

Been living in Portland for the past 4 years but having two small children and both, husband and I working full time jobs makes it challenging to really meet people... aside from co-workers, whom I wouldn't spend any time with outside of work anyhow.

Portland resident here.

I've been living in the Pacific NW for the past 4 years and definitely noticed a huge difference in the transition of seasons.

It was sunny and 80 degrees here one day and then all of a sudden the next day it dropped to 55 degrees and rainy.

Its been raining ever since.

And if we are lucky it'll stop by the middle of July. I remember one year a couple decades ago that it never really quit raining all summer.

I remember rain and flooding in August when I was a kid...and it pretty much doesn't take a breather until oddly enough in February- for false spring -and then back to the regular scheduled weather..rain.

Seattle here - I see youre in Portland

**LoP Guest** lop guest User ID: 123205 10-27-2012 06:52 AM

Hello Seattle.
I used to live up there, on Capital Hill.
Seattle Light gave me a check for $20,000 to cover moving expenses so they could demolish my apt building and build the light rail.
I then moved to Portland.
Blew that money...

It felt fast because it stayed warm for so incredibly long. I find it strange that you mention it being a cool year when it was the driest period from july to october EVER ON RECORD.... felt like summer in early october.

I have live here most of my life...about 3 years in Portland about 2 years in Seattle, and about 35 years in SW Washington.

We're still in the warm-cold roller coaster before winter really sets in and we get the frost and snow. It was a really dry summer, but not hot like when I was in high school and we crossed into triple digits routinely.

When I was in grade school, and also in the early 90s, we had some brutal snow falls...but haven't seen anything like it since. Plus we also had some hella-flooding here and there along the way and we can't forget about the big-ass volcano eruption that was thrown in for flavor.

As far as extremes it's actually been mellow for quite some time. Me thinks a big rock and roll event is due sometime soon....that's our next big event. Everybody keeps saying it's gonna happen to us here but it keeps happening everywhere else instead.
