You folks in the Pac NW haven't even seen a million acre fire yet, and your forests are way more dense than almost anywhere else. It's gonna get so much worse than you can possibly imagine.

HashtagGirlboss posted:Six days into October and still having sunny days with highs in their mid-80s in Portland. This is abnormal to say the least. I can’t think of another year where we’ve gotten this far into fall without any significant rainfall at all. Looking at the ten day forecast which yeah I know it’s looking like we could make it through the middle of October without a single drop of rain no I heard the pacific northwest is safe from climate change????

If VT is like any of forested New England I’m familiar with they’ll probably just think you’re having a hard time getting the lumberers to show up and clear cut everything.

Just the hall of mosses didn’t go into the back country, but every other time I’ve been there in the past has been late June or early august. It was a completely different experience this time. Everything was brown and dry, no constant drips, no mist. Just wrong. Also the only time I’ve ever been to lake quinault where it wasn’t completely socked in It’s sad. There’s a lot of magical places in the pnw and I’m not excited to see what an LA style climate does to them

Pryor on Fire posted:You folks in the Pac NW haven't even seen a million acre fire yet, and your forests are way more dense than almost anywhere else. It's gonna get so much worse than you can possibly imagine. I don't disagree, and I have a pretty vivid imagination. In 1840 the east coast of Vancouver Island burned from Nanaimo to Comox, which would be around 850,000 acres. That was primarily an understorey burn in an old growth forest, which the old Douglas Fir with their thick bark would be adapted for. Every fire season now I try to get my head around that area burning again with the fire up in the canopy going through all those dead cedars.  das hipster posted:In the future the PNW will still get the same amount of rain per year, but now it will all fall in the month of November. The first delayed fall rain I really remember was in November, 2014. I had a horse die suddenly, a virus that just made his stablemate sick with the flu for a night but killed him with his pre-existing liver condition. The first storm of the fall came through as I was digging his grave and winching him into it after sunset. Covered in mud at the bottom of a dark hole with a dead horse in it when the atmospheric river hits, listening to the trees thrash around you really makes you question your life choices.

Using Aug 1 as the start of the wet season, the latest Seattle has had a day with 0.25"+ was Oct 20 in 1974. Recent late starts were 2012 (Oct 14) and 2017 (Oct 12). The average date over the last 30 years is Aug 30.

I don’t normally trust a lot of 10 day forecasts but lol the current forecast for the area here on the 16th is 80F so I think we have pretty good odds on beating the 17th
