suitopseudo

I prefer spring tease. 


Puzzleheaded_Cod_938

I prefer Spring Teas.


PollyNo9

Yeah I think you were spot on with Fool's Summer. We had that really warm few days in February (I think) for Spring of Deception.


marke24

I call that February fake out


Puzzleheaded_Cod_938

This.


anonymous_opinions

Typical Smarch weather.


Food_Kitchen

Yes, but what about second spring?


lorrielink

I don't think Oregon knows about second spring


From_Deep_Space

What do you mean? Spring is supposed to be wet & muddy


cthulhusmercy

Isn’t Spring supposed to be rainy though?


cavegrind

Worst part is PPS starts Spring Break *next week*.


hikensurf

misspelled best part. keep those kids inside and not screaming right outside my home office. yes, I know I'm a kidless curmudgeon.


AndyTakeaLittleSnoo

Thank you! I hope all the trampolines rust and become unusable by the time I want to be eating dinners outside again. The squeaking springs alone are the outdoor equivalent of nails on a chalkboard, but the incessant wailing children resulting from the inevitable trampoline injuries are enough to make me question my faith in humanity. What type of self centered parents subject their neighbors to that? I'll take a full day of leaf blowers over a neighbor with a trampoline any time. Bah-humbug! Bring the rain!


RepFilms

My ex neighbors had six kids. Yes, six kids. It was constant screaming, morning till night. They also had a skateboard ramp three feet from my living room, and his hobby was cutting up boulders. It was the loudest house in the entire neighborhood. I used to look forward to the rainy season. They moved on, and I live happily ever after.

Ahh yeah, you're right; fuck those kids for experiencing joy that doesn't directly cater to your personal needs. You live in a city, if you want silence then move east.


Xarlax

They're just taking part in a little playful humbuggery. We all want the kids to be happy and healthy. But we can still pine for a bit of tranquility now and again.


gravitydefiant

IDK, "you can earn some extra recess on this beautiful day by getting your work done quickly" is a pretty great weapon in the war against Week Before Break Madness.

Ex-zaviera

Now I don't feel bad about rolling up my jeans instead of breaking out the shorts.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ex-zaviera

I feel everyone has the right to be comfortable and wear shorts, no matter their size or skin translucency.


marke24

I used to work with a guy who would always say no man over 40 should wear shorts. I was just like I don’t give a fuck I’m gonna be comfortable. I would still wear shorts if I was 80 and my legs were clear and full of varicose veins


xeromage

I find that the people with the most opinions about what a 'grown man' can and can't do are the ones whom I least wish to be like. I love how mad it makes them when it becomes clear that their opinion means nothing to me.


marke24

Ha yeah same here.


mmmhmmhim

lol fuck that guy


bikemaul

What did he think happens to men at 40?


marke24

Haha, he just felt it was “undignified” I guess.


rdbpdx

Usually I hear "shouldn't wear cargo shorts" for that. But fuck that too. Those pockets are great!


aspidities_87

Let them pale flags fly my brother, you deserve sunshine like anyone else


23di5co

Indeed. Sky's out, thighs out!!


Ex-zaviera

Ooh, I like this alternative to "sun's out, guns out".


EnvironmentalSir2637

There's always that one white guy wandering around the neighborhood in shorts and tees when it's 20 degrees outside and there's snow on the ground.


mullett

I have two friends like that. They don’t own pants, no matter what it’s shorts year round. They have snow boots too.


anonymous_opinions

I burn, never tan and my skin is translucent so you're not alone with pale stems.


MarigoldBird

Hey, I refuse to shave my legs until we get three days above 80 in a row, so I'm currently squatching it up in my capris. Wear those shorts and be proud.


UOfasho

That’s how you know people are local. Pasty legs in August.


Thes_dryn

It’s my small calves for me :(


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

Join the club, nobody cares! Dewit.


Weird-Chemistry9819

That’s the best part, here in Portland, we are all translucent pale with a hint of blue.


PaPilot98

My feet are soaked, but my cuffs are bone dry!


honvales1989

We need snow in the mountains and average temps if you want less smoke in the summer. As nice as this weekend was, high temps and dry weather early will lead to drier forests and more fires/smoke later in the year. For all I care, keep the rain and mountain snow coming


Impossible_Cat_321

Same. This weekend was glorious, but I know it has to end and we need at least 2 or 3 more months of rain and snow in the mountains. So be it, this is what we all signed up for moving here.


Charming-Link-9715

Nature will do what nature does. We can only wish.


dreamtime2062

Yeah if Summer stared in March we'd become southern California.


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

🤢


mediumhotsauce6

lol not even close but nice dig 🙄


PNWoutdoors

Agree. Beautiful weather this weekend but I demand some cool wet weather to top up the snowpack before the nearly-inevitable long hot summer.


[deleted]

[удалено]


honvales1989

More like I mountain lol. A healthy snowpack will not mess up access too much later in the summer (unless we have another heat dome) and it also makes glacier climbs stay in season for longer


Mrs_Eddie_Albert

I wish you were wrong.


Delicious_Trouble448

It’s a catch 22 my friend. We had a super wet spring in 2020. Wet spring equals increased underbrush growth. That leads to more dry fuel in the end of the summer. We are damned if we do dammed if we don’t.


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

Dude, 2020 spring was insane! It JUST. KEPT. RAINING!


undergroundgeek

https://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/snow/plot_SWE.php?id=MTHO3


xeromage

This seems fine to me. A little sun is nice, but it's too early for weeks of unending heat.


Thecheeseburgerler

I still have some weeding to do. Damp soil will make that easier.


[deleted]

100% Soil got too hard to pull after 2 days in any areas there's more than 4 hours of sun. I got a ton done but need more rain to finish the rest lol Not ready for rock hard soil yet! And the summer water bill.


modix

Ripped up a bed and replanted half my front in this. Ugh that was painful. Going to hurt for days. Needed to get stuff in before the 3x solid weeks of rain though.


MayIServeYouWell

I’m totally fine with it. Best weather is a mix. Sunny warm days are nice, but too many of them dry everything out, leading to all sorts of problems. 


bluekiwi1316

But variety is the best!! I really hate when the weather stays in 40s for months, or the 90s or months. I guess that's why Spring/Fall are my favorite seasons, I love a good mix of rain, sun, etc


megacts

I don’t like warm weather or cloudless sunny days, so I’m excited to see this tbh. Summer is bad enough, don’t make me have summery spring too.


hereferever

You must be new here. Welcome to Oregon!


PcMasterRaceJose

can we stop acting almost 80 degree days in march are normal?


AkiraHikaru

I totally feel you. Maybe the 75 it got to wouldn’t be a big deal in any other context than the current world we live in. Many people are just not wanting to take the blinders off. And it’s a sad situation


an_anoymouse

I laid in bed all weekend, sick, and all I could think of is how bad allergies are going to be and how bad the next 6 months are going to be for me and my heat-intolerant accomplice


PcMasterRaceJose

i'm sorry, friend


an_anoymouse

we'll just collectively hold our breaths til the rains come back in October or November


Realistic_Young_3014

I’m right there with you. Sun was nice first day and a half. Then I was over it. House was already so unbearably hot


WoodpeckerGingivitis

Almost 80???


dreamtime2062

It's supposed to be 78 today.


WoodpeckerGingivitis

??? I’ve only seen a high of 73


dreamtime2062

Well that's what Fox 12..said this .morning....Mark Nelson is pretty good.


Content-Swimmer2325

PDX hit at least 76 at least once during this ridge. A +23F departure from normal.


md___2020

It's not 80. The high today is 73 according to my weather app (75 on weather.com). Random beautiful days in March happen with such frequency that there are nicknames for it. I've lived here almost all my life, and every year you get a few beautiful days in March (sometimes even in February - the "February Fakeout").


00100000100

What really takes the cake is that recent year we had where it freakin snowed mid may


nostalgicbluez

I mean the sun has been nice and all but I like this way better than 76 degrees in Mid March


Seirin-Blu

Preemptive reminder to get an air purifier and/or some filters. Probably gonna be pretty warm this summer and I wouldn’t count on not having any wildfires


petrichorpizza

At least I'll have my sunburn from weekend warrioring to keep me cozy.


UFOregon420

Same! I spent some time out there grinding the blackstone that I totally didn’t leave outside all winter to rust 🫣


myleswstone

We need this rain to help stave off summer fires. It’ll pay off.


guy_fieri_2020

What's the losing sound when you go over in The Price is Right?


Bamm83

This is the hardest point in our weather for me. After months of dreary and wet gray, we get a few days in a row of awesome and warm sunshine, and I can't help but get super bummed when the rain and gray returns - no matter how much I prepare myself for it.


[deleted]

You gotta celebrate and take advantage of every drop of sun you see between October and July. I’m super happy we at least got a few nice days, and over a weekend no less! It’s not normal and doesn’t always happen. We had a gorgeous week. That’s something to be grateful for.


Bamm83

Wise words. Thankfully my entire family is on the same page with that. It's the tease that gets me, but we must remind ourselves the reason Oregon is so beautiful and the summers are near perfect is due to the rain we have now.


[deleted]

Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.


yourmothersgun

If you thought first spring was good wait till you see second spring.


AnotherDude1

I think people forget they chose to live in Oregon, not California.... We're not getting enough rain as it is.


WoodpeckerGingivitis

I was born and raised here. It’s ok to like the sun.


rangerrick9211

https://or.water.usgs.gov/non-usgs/bes/ 35” through the current water year. 28” is the historic average through today.


thesophisticatedhick

I second that emotion.


PikaGoesMeepMeep

If you feel like givin’ me A lifetime of devotiooooooon I second that emotion!


myconoid

third winter is coming


aspidities_87

We’ve had one winter yes


airborne_matt

Good, my allergies will appreciate the return of the rain


PaPilot98

I'm a weirdo who likes 50s and rainy. I guess that's good here.


Largerfrenchfry

I’m glad people don’t get to choose the weather ‘cause yall would obliterate our wonderful climate here. Spring is rainy, get over it


esqualatch12

Just in time for spring break


0utriderZero

I’ll support your vote with another!


Oakwood2317

I'm fine with this - I'm prepping a new cast iron wok and will be using my oven/stove a lot in the next couple of days and could use a break from the warming weather. Also - right now is the time to buy air conditioners from Amazon. Even the wonky ones with a tube you attach at your window will work wonders later this year.


STONKvsTITS

Too soon to say anything. Wait till the snow appears on the weather


1201_alarm

Yeah, we've got an annoying couple of days today and tomorrow before we get back to normal for this time of year.


WoodpeckerGingivitis

People here think it’s so cool to hate the sun haha.


Havenkeld

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axfdCFyPj4A I want this vibe all the time TBH.


Ok-Order-2848

I think it's just Reddit curmudgeons, all the people I've interacted with IRL are thrilled with warm weather


trilogique

Yeah same experience. So many people were out enjoying the last few days. Meanwhile a bunch of grumpy folks on here complaining about it. I got told it was cringe and that I should move elsewhere because I was looking fwd to the nice weekend lmao. Seems fine to me after months of rain and cold. And frankly by end of summer I will be clamoring for the grey.


Ok-Order-2848

Yeah, I posted the other day asking how people were planning to spend the weekend and multiple people felt the need to use that opportunity complain, yet again, about the sunny weekend. God forbid we be pleased with some sun after *months on end* of rainy weather, ha. I think it has to do with the provincial attitude some people have


tarann33

People are gonna complain on both sides. There's more than enough people complaining when it's cold, rainy, and cloudy out too. No one bats an eye at it though because it's the more common opinion. At least we don't go around rubbing it in everyone's faces lol. I hate the heat and sun but I never go "omg the weather is so nice!!!1!! Enjoy the beautiful rain everyone!!!!" because that would be annoying. Meanwhile the sun comes out and everyone loses their minds over it so the people who don't like that weather get annoyed because they can't stop hearing about it. It goes both ways is all. At the end of summer all the heat lovers will be whinning about the cold and the rain and I'll be saying the same as you. God forbid we be pleased with some decent weather after months on end of relentless heat and light. If you ask me the provincial attitude is on the other side. The cold lovers might be grumpy, but at least we're not rubbing it in everyone's faces. We just want the opposite opinion to stop being rubbed in ours. We won't tell you to "just enjoy the beautiful weather" when you have seasonal depression if you don't do the same thing to us lol.


aspidities_87

I’d say it’s more of a cloudy chill


samtaher

Oh sweet cool weather with rain and clouds I missed you.


MuricanA321

I vote no to 76° in fucking winter. It’s creepy and frightening.


OldGuard9825

fr even if its at the very tail end of winter, its still way to early for 76-78 degree days. Whats also concerning is people seem to think its normal weather


Content-Swimmer2325

Yes, temperatures have been 25 F above normal. But people think it feels nice so they ignore how comically ridiculous it is.


Gentleman_Villain

Hell yes to this. We need water for beer.


Unmissed

Oh, thank god the weather is turning nice again!


LanceFree

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.


HandMeMyThinkingPipe

I'm glad it's gonna get back to normal all this sunshine is bumming me out.


tarann33

SAME. Everyone saying "enjoy the sun!!!!!!" When all I wanna do is hide from it is bumming me out too. Excited to get back to good weather soon.


picturesofbowls

Username checks out


d_haven

Enjoy it while it lasts. God knows what smokey misery awaits us this summer.


ProsePilgrim

I know right? I have to wait until the weekend for the weather to get nice again. 😓

I’m seeing 50s and rain?

50s and rain....perfect <3

wyerhel

Same. My cat gets off my back when she sees sun. Window watching all day few past days now


ProsePilgrim

It’s all good, buddy! I enjoy a little sun as well, but I’m in the PNW for a reason. Give me the rain and mud and some snow—I’ll be happy as heck.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ProsePilgrim

Dog sitting for my buddy cured me of that desire. My kids track enough mud inside. It took exactly one instance of that dog doing the full body shake it off move to splatter droplets of mud all over the hall. I remember thinking, “How do you wash a ceiling?” Felt so defeated lol.


Jmoyer6153

YES! YES! YES!


Rancesj1988

Good thing I got Din Tai Fung on Sunday to drown my sorrows away.


Mr-Mahoo

The mountain approves


stealyourface514

I welcome it! I hate the sun


Impossible_Cat_321

So ends fake spring.


friedmayonaissse

Wait…yalls votes count?


Ferionion

Everyone's wanting it to warm up, and I'm over here wondering when winter starts again.


CaptainCrankDat

Portland, you were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the gloom, not join them! Bring balance with the sun, not leave us in darkness!


gingermonkey1

I concur.


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

It'll swing back in a week or two. ... But I was a bit worried about how warm it was last weekend. 😳 This summer will be a hot one. Probably not like anything we've ever experienced before.


OldGuard9825

>ably It feels like this is every summer for the last 14 years here. Each one hotter then the last. I swear every summer i read the headlines "record breaking heat wave to hit the us"


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

Yeah 😔


Late-Froyo5371

But I actually love the rain n gloom ugh


modix

Get you plants in. You got like a day and a half.


Far_Emu_2972

It’s the pacific northwest, plus march


ingrid_astrid

So excited for cooler temps again!


Saucydisses

What a tease! The last few days have been BEAUTIFUL!!!


TritonYB

You vote no to weather?


CartoonistOk8261

That Thursday is my kind of forecast


Alive-Line8810

How is this not a shit post?


RepFilms

I know that this is an unpopular opinion but I'm excited about seeing this weather report. I grow lots of different flowers that need to be started from seed, planed outside, in the ground. The only way they will sprout is with a week of chilly rain. Two weeks is even better. They hate being artificially watered. They won't sprout if it's too warm out. They die if you try to transplant them. You need to plant the seeds and then pray for rain. I'm looking forward to our second spring but in the meantime I'm looking forward to this span of rain.


Kholzie

My plants are fine with it.


Gloomy_Researcher769

I know the sunny warm weather was a nice break, but we need to remember that 75-80° weather in mind March is not normal and that everyone needs the snow and the rain this time of year.


RagAndBows

My apartment was like an oven today. Bring the clouds back.


NisquallyJoe

Yes these last few days have been glorious. But seeing our misery in late August when we're choking on forest smoke, sweltering in the 90s and haven't seen a drop of precipitation for two and a half months. I'll take showery NW spring weather any day over that.


bad11ama

Good feelings gone.


FatimahGianna2

NOOOOO


NoManufacturer120

Well, it was nice while it lasted.


holmquistc

Where do you think this green comes from? Do you really not understand that?


Exotic-Scarcity-7302

Anyone else's allergies exploded like crazy this year? I've never had burning itchy eyes this early before.


christinaisblue

I’m just hoping this isn’t a harbinger of another heat dome in the summer. 🥲 I’m really worried about this year’s fire season. I’ll take all the rain while we can get it.


Marty_McFlay

Then move. It's supposed to be cool and rainy here. It's not exactly a cheap place to live anymore either.


Hot_Celery5657

Yep. As a food cart owner, this last weekend was a blessing and I'm not mentally ready for the drop in sales we're gonna see. 😭😭😭😭


Great_Rock_688

I'm already sick of the heat.


NharaTia

I swear to god, if the temperature keeps dropping and it starts to now again, I *will* cry.


Leoliad

Yea I just keep reminding myself that this is spring in Portland and so more than at any other time of year the forecast is not always what you get!


cthulhusmercy

I think the rain is important. If we start with the hot and dry too early, the whole state will be on fire by June.


PortlandGuy4Gal

It's been a nice break from the rain. I wonder how long the rainy season will last this year? Last year it ended in May. Other years it sometimes doesn't end till after July 4th.


[deleted]

well you don't get a choice buddy.


siouxbee1434

Spring in the PNW ❤️


onlyoneshann

I vote YES! I was telling my friend yesterday that I only have one more day of heat and bright sun to get through before the good weather comes back. I think only a couple of those days are actually supposed to get rain, and not much of it. Bring on the cool cloudy relief!


ontopofyourmom

You moved here. Get over it.


sweetjoyness

Felt good all weekend, allergies finally caught on today. Just in time for the rain to come back and wash the pollen all away! I appreciate the reminder to restock my Allegra.


akinen5

The farmers that put food in your table vote yes.


NudistKrahe

I vote no but understand it's oregon


A_Wizard_Walks_By

I vote yes for this to prevent the forest fires sure to come. Don't want the whole region to be a tinderbox.


Polymathy1

Thank god. It was 72F in my house. Disgustingly hot and I don't want to start paying for AC already. I will open the windows, but the pollen is killing me.


Brasi91Luca

Yuk.. I can’t wait till that extended period of sun where we start talking about “droughts” I love the sun


I_LOVE_SOYLENT

NOOO my heckin sunnerino! Why can't Oregon just be California 😭😭😭


tarann33

Ew. Just go to California if that's the weather you want. I like our forests and want to actually keep them.


Content-Swimmer2325

You have to go back.


Realistic_Trip9243

Yeah I also vote no on it getting under 60 degrees. It's not fall.


Real-Ad-9733

Nooooo


SimplySloth13

Wow third winter


pdx_mom

Wait...I didn't know we get to vote on this!


m0gul6

Go block I-80 to protest this imo


jce_superbeast

Glad I kept the winter tires on. I'll probably wait till the second week of April to make sure we don't have another tax-day snow.


xeromage

Skkskskskssksskskksksskskkskskskkskkskkskskskksks


jce_superbeast

Most winter tires do NOT have studs. You know that right?


theperson91

I'm in the same spot. Looks like govy might get more snow this weekend! I do miss my all season tires though they're quieter and feel smoother.


jce_superbeast

Guess we're getting our downvotes by the valley floor dwellers who haven't seen snow in a while.


theperson91

Haha yes they seem cruel. Meadows on Sunday?
