And there are some impressive low spikes on the graph, for sure.<br /><br />Don't the data contradict this a bit, though? Last weekend's cumulative <A HREF="http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/cdus/degree_days/grodgree.txt" REL="nofollow">growing degree days</A> numbers show Seattle at normal and Bellingham a bit above on the year.<br /><br />Cumulative <A HREF="http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/cdus/degree_days/wctyhddy.txt" REL="nofollow">heating degree days</A> are definitely higher, but I bet this incorporates the winter cold snaps more than anything recent.jsmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492989886941859956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-27877462583744215022009-05-14T09:21:00.000-07:002009-05-14T09:21:00.000-07:007:30 tonight the 14th. better to be early, so 7:00...7:30 tonight the 14th. better to be early, so 7:00Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-13328829079213981662009-05-14T07:13:00.000-07:002009-05-14T07:13:00.000-07:00Cliff: Thanks for caring about math education and ...Cliff: Thanks for caring about math education and speaking up about it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250349069185128970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-24133156871355116712009-05-13T22:28:00.000-07:002009-05-13T22:28:00.000-07:00I am not so surprised to see cool rainy weather in...I am not so surprised to see cool rainy weather in May. Here in Bellingham it has been interspersed with some glorious sunny days and warm sunbreaks almost daily but especially on the weekends. No complaints! I've given up on the dry, tropical plants like peppers and tomatoes. The lettuce is going wild, as is kale, mustard greens, spinach and broccoli with the "automatic watering system" from heaven... An old Forest Ranger colleague used to say "Summer doesn't begin here til July 5th." I take that almost literally and am blessed with those rare few 8o degree days in late May or heat in "Junuary". :) Looking forward to another break this weekend if the forecast holds up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-73401829079507398302009-05-13T22:24:00.000-07:002009-05-13T22:24:00.000-07:00We have certainly noticed the extra heating days (...We have certainly noticed the extra heating days (does the term "heating degree days" get used in your circle?) because of the cooler weather. Little solar gain through the south windows because of the clouds along with the cool. Usually you can get some help from the sun on the colder days, but not lately. Today's rainfall was not welcomed here! Sitting in the hot tub with the calm bay enshrouded with clouds at dusk was pretty pleasant, though.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275580535017975456noreply@blogger.com
