Here’s hoping so! My lawn desperately needs cutting, for starters, and the weeds are threatening to overtake the back yard as well.
But, the stretch of wacky weather of late brings up an interesting (and perennial) debate – is the weather any wackier this year than in years past? Or are we non-natives just moaning and groaning too much about events we ought to be used to by now?

It’s a little funky. The wet spring isn’t, but having one this wet following such a dry winter is odd. This is the first time I can remember such a dry winter followed by such a wet spring (or at least the first I’ve been old enough to remember).
Good news for folks who make their living in the summer off of water type recreation at least.
The only things sure in Oregon are a hot summer (once it comes) and a wet non-summer (once it starts raining in earnest). Timing can be non-traditional. That said, you’re just being a wuss.
You think Oregon summers are *hot*? Now who’s the wuss…?
It’s a dry heat, at least. But we’ve been hitting (and staying) in the 100’s more and more in the past few years, and this is my first year with climate control devices at home that may actually be able to handle it…
At PSU my apartment was essentially just a cement shoe box with a giant wall-to-wall westward facing window. No AC. On 80+ degree days I just lived at the library because for at least 2 hours after the sun went down it was an oven in there.
And I used to spend my summers in Phoenix. At least down there everything is on AC. It somehow seemed hotter in Oregon.
It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.
Since I grew up in the Midwest, I know that cliches – especially this one – are often rooted in truth… And after years of temperatures that vary maybe 10 degrees in a 24-hour period, well – Oregon summers aren’t hot…
