Made a good CX race . We have seen a layer of snow for the last 5 days here in the UK.

No snow in western Oregon, but winter has finally arrived here in that we'll be seeing freezing temps overnight all week. (Brrrrrrrrrrr!) I finally had to put those outdoor garden faucet covers on, usually I have to do it much earlier in winter.
Yep, after you, its rolling over us, plus we have an inversion too.

I had to google what a meteorological inversion is, evidently inversions can cause poor air quality? Well, that's not very nice!
EDIT: I have just learned that we're experiencing an inversion as well (I never paid attention to what an inversion actually is), it's very foggy here and there's a poor air quality advisory till Friday afternoon. So not only is it cold and foggy, but we'll have crap air until it starts raining again or something - booooooo!

It rained for about 36 hours straight here; rain in winter is normal in my parts, but I can't remember the last time it had rained that much. I'm loving it cause I don't have to work outdoors, so more rain please, we need our rivers and lakes filled to the max in preparation for the hot summer!
Denver could break all-time records for March with an 86-degree heat wave
Blame it on a summer-like big ridge of high pressure.

Insane temps in the Mile High City! Over the next several days, high temps in the mid to upper 80s with lows in the 50s (the averages for this time of year are 59 & 30!). I've lived here all my life for several decades & have never seen temps like this before in March. People today were wearing tank tops & shorts. I even had to use the AC in my car today .
And this weather pattern has gotten this meteorologist a little freaked out. Lol

I've been able to get all kinds of outdoor projects done (or at least got started on them) because it was sunny and the temps were in the mid-70s in Eugene this week - I always save pressure washing the fence and fixing the sprinklers for late spring when it's warm enough, not barely the beginning of it!Denver could break all-time records for March with an 86-degree heat wave

Thankfully it's supposed to cool off into the low 50s by Saturday, and hopefully this is just a weird meteorological bump and not something we'll have to get used to.

Its the same just inland from you: 50s and windy followed by temps near 80 for several days, but back to the 60s for next week.
I don't get El Cajon but I don't get Alpine either.. It got to 93° (39c)
Feels like Phoenix in August around here..one group getting big benni is spring breakers, last year it was raining in San Diego and beaches in far North Baja..
Feels like July instead of March. Mid-80s with possibly 90 tomorrow. The average high for Denver this time of year is only 57. And the mountains are getting hit with the heat also - the winter snowpack is melting off two months earlier than normal.

‘They are not telling us what the hell to do’: Pillen explains federal team’s role in Nebraska wildfires
At a meeting with landowners impacted by the Cottonwood Fire on Wednesday morning, Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen sought to clarify the role of an interagency team that was called in to help manage the two largest fires in Nebraska history.

These situations are endlessly complicated. Defensible space strategies are not always practical because of the in frequency of fire. Also small rural communities have small resource pools, often have volunteer fire departments and don't have massive specialized crew for wildfires and chemical fires, Residential and other structure fires are what they train most for.

It wouldn't matter. @75 mph winds, relative humility at 15% ..fire normally slows at night these fires are bucking data..the fires didn't originated from arson, downed power lines, etc. This was problem areas that were part of a prescribed burn by US Forrest Service and their schedule and acts of nature crossed. It happens, it happened in New Mexico in @2022, whatever your skill set is ..dry conditions, @70+ winds..no chance.. Multiple states in dangerous, challenging conditions.. Fire fighting aircraft are not normally long range.. Helicopters that are available don't have payload.. Fires are hitting places that had recent snow.. Not really helping..
I have lived in Western US for many years, lived in other areas of Baja that have wildfire events, fatal human flaw is to think that man can defeat nature.. It's certainly sad but it's a battle of containment not victory.. Everyone wants to make it digestible.. Nature always win, no victory in the human column for wins and losses.
If these firefighters can't stop it, it can't be stopped

It's raining in Eugene right now (yay!), and tonight it's supposed to go down into the low 30s. Pretty much everything has started blossoming already, so if there is an overnight frost now the plants will likely die or be damaged. (A few years back we had a late frost and local farmers lost a lot of crop, so this early warm weather can be pretty destructive.)

We get our share of annual wildfires in the region, and each time you turn on the news it's not about a fire being easily put out, it's more a process of containment because it's just too much, and this goes on for pretty much the entire summer. One fire is put out and another one starts, evacuations have become more common... a few years ago a gorgeous area by the McKenzie River where my dad and I used to fish had to be evacuated as the wildfire was just raging, the area completely burned down. That was a huge bummer because it'll take years and years before it's back to its previous shape, nature can certainly make a person feel small.
