Willamette Valley here, and I feel you. Was really investing a lot of my optimism in the rain that was talked about for today, for over a week now — which doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen. This has been a long, long week.
- zwieback 6y agoWhen I stepped out of my house last night and saw clouds and a little bit of blue I was ridiculously happy. None of the predicted wind or rain has shown up so far, I wonder if the fires are blocking the normal wind from the ocean.
- evan_ 6y agoDark Sky has been promising a very good chance of light rain on Friday, it’s all that’s keeping me going... I’m trying to forget that it says 0.01”.
- mywittyname 6y agoDamn. That's like a glass of water being dumped on a driveway...
- davidw 6y agoHere in Bend it's pretty awful too. We live here because we love the outdoors, and we've been locked up inside since Friday. The kids are going stir crazy. Everyone was getting excited when the AQI dipped a bit under 200 yesterday (still rated "unhealthy") because we had been over 500. Now it's back up though, and they're talking about maybe things getting better by Thursday.
- briffle 6y agoAlso Willammette Valley. I was excited to look up this morning, and be able to both tell where the sun was, and see the outline of clouds through the smoke. Its been a week now. Still horrible outside, but definitely improved.
