WA-Hal said: (quoted from post at 01:43:27 07/26/10) I live in Eastern Washington, SE of Spokane. It is sure HOT today--about 95. And the forecast is for around 90 all week. Late July, August and early September are usually pretty hot and dry--we are not quite a desert around here, but pretty close in late Summer. Lots of years we get almost no precipitation during late Summer.
Most of Eastern Washington has 4 seasons. This year we had a cool, wet Spring after an extremely mild Winter. But in 2008, if you count all months together, we had what was supposed to be the all-time record snowfall. I never fought snow more in my life, plowing every other day some of the time and actually shoveling drifted snow from part of my roofs several times. Winters can be brutal, with slick roads most of the time for 4 or 5 months. In my area, we usually have some time below zero every winter season. Most Springs are pretty nice, as are most early Fall seasons.
I don't think I would advise someone to move to my area to go to someplace warm, unless they are coming from Alaska or high elevations in the Rockies. But if you like having 4 seasons, my part of Eastern Washington is great. On the other hand, there are other areas of Eastern Washington that are usually warmer, like the Tri-Cities, or Carkston, or maybe Moses Lake.
Our Summers are pretty hot, but usually the humidity is way low, as compared with the East Coast. I like my air conditioned cars, but could get along without house air conditioning, at least most of the time. That would be tough in most of Virginia or North Carolina.
WA-HAL as I type this message during my visit Snohomish, WA I ask you this. Would you recommend eastern WA to a Southern California native such as myself? I would love to have a nice three bedroom ranch style house on about two acres of land where I could have a small peach orchard, maybe some watermelons, and a few apricots. Now being of Latino heritage is eastern Washington a friendly place for those of other then Caucasian heritage?

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
