11/16/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Supposed to be a big storm with snow down to 3000ft and rain in the valleys. WRONG AGAIN! Unless there's a change in the weather patterns, Southern Oregon and Northern California are in for another drought year. We're over 5 inches down for calendar year 2013(Northern Oregon is above normal)which is the only one that matters( sorry Dr Doesken)and there doesn't look like much of a change in the near future. The Weather Service says a stronger storm in due Tuesday. Well, stronger than nothing is easy to predict.

Also it's supposed to get very cold. I find that the pointy-heads usually get the precip wrong but the temps rite.Too bad it isn't the opposite this week as we're heading for the driest year since 1988. For the last several years we've alternated wet and dry Decembers. Last December was very wet . . . . .

I've been saying that it's real dry and now the pointy-heads have started to notice - we are on track for the driest year on record. Mt Shasta City(aka Mt Scheister City, about 65 miles South of here, has had 10.44"of rain since Jan 1. Normal to this date is 40".Similar numbers abound in this area.
12/17/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 1.5 M The east end of the Bear Creek Valley has been lucky since we're not getting the thick fog that the lower elevations are stuck in.It's certainly colder at night but much warmer during the day. However, we're still stuck in the perversion layer so the air quality is bad from all the pollution, particularly from wood smoke. These conditions(persistent inversion)are typical of a droughth year.

12/28/2013 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Many surrounding cities are set to have all time low yearly precip and by a considerable margin - not by just a few hundreths. Second driest I've recorded since 1985(when I moved to this location). And yet the pointy heads are optimistic: we still got plenty of months left in the water year and we could have a wet spring. Let me say it again - we had a near normal so-called water year in 2012-2013 and had one of the worst fire seasons in Oregon history and certainly the most expensive, with weeks of heavy smoke in the valley. I REPEAT - NEAR NORMAL WATER YEAR. Most of the rain fell early and nothing much for the last 9 months. The pointy heads mention spring rain, but that tends to be warmer and doesn't put a lot of snow in the mountains which are currently mostly bare. We're also trapped in a serious perversion layer where the temps above 3000' are in the 50's but below that are in the 30's during the day with attendant air stagnation. The most drastic inversion I've experienced was in Jackson Hole. We were x-country skiing at Teton Pass where the temp was 18° - cold but, hey, it's Wyoming in the winter. When we got back to Jackson, some 2000' lower, the temperature was -22°.

8/28/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hot and smokey. Local TV meteorologists have started calling it "haze",no doubt under pressure from the Chamber of Commerce. It's f'ing smoke!
8/29/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The dawn was primordial but a NW wind in the afternoon blew the smoke back to the south. See how long that lasts.

9/15/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M They are saying that the smoke mite be gone by Wednesday. We'll see. It was bad this afternoon - laughingly called "moderate" by the DEQ.
9/16/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Had a few smoke-free hours thanks to a SE wind but it ended in the afternoon and the smoke was back quickly. Seems there's a new fire starting every day.

9/18/2014 8:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Pathetic but at least it cleaned out the air after one of the worst days in the last 6 weeks. Much more to the West, of course.
