mostly dry here. rite on the edge of what your getting. warm too.
yup. 40 degrees here. The river is still at normal unless the gauge is broken. The ski area is closed because it is raining. We might work in the rain but skiing in the rain is miserable and not worth paying for.
48 and clear in Grass Valley at the moment. Will be 62 with sunshine this afternoon. This is the little False Spring that we get every year about this time. Love it.
50 degree deluge this morning rivers should be on their way up now. We were down at mount Rainer this past week. Plenty of snow down low. By the way if you live in heavy rain area don't put skylights in your bedroom noisey.
Last night it was raining hard enough that my gutter downspout was shaking against the wall!
I like hearing the gutter river flow. I don't like hearing it overflow, which it wasn't or I'd be up on a ladder this morning. This must no longer be the banana belt because it is only 41 degrees, not 50 here.

That's good stuff there!
I did not know that Centralia was flooded. Aberdeen/Hoquiam, yes.

Had the drive south through one of those bands of red on the map I posted above. Nearly whiteout conditions for ~15 miles. Idiots all over the dual lanes not sure where to drive, everyone with their flashers on and see more than 10ft. I accidentally exited unknowingly just following the car in front of me. I got back on for more punishment and found the rumble strip with my right tire and tried to keep it there as I passed the line I idiots on the shoulder. That was interesting to say the least.
I heard about it around noon and immediately checked in with my parents. They're doing fine, the water is nowhere near the 1990 high mark, which was the highest we've seen at that house (near the HS just outside of city limits).

It Finaly hit minus 40 here. It's ruthlessly cold. Nothing much to do but feed the stove.
Isn't there an inflection point where negative degrees F is colder than degrees C? I'm not sure what it I but think you might of crossed it!!!! Damn!

Your right Marshy, C and F equal out at -40.
The birds still come to the feeder though, chickadees, whiskey jacks and pine grosbeaks.
Wearing sunglasses today, buckle down your chinstraps tomorrow:
The National Weather Service (NWS) Portland has informed us there is also a potential for wind this weekend, 30-40 mph, that could cause minor power outages Saturday night. At this time, the confidence is low that we’ll have damaging winds. Based on last nights heavy rain and being aware of our local forecasts, we can expect heavy rain, 1 ½ - 2 ½ inches, enough to overwhelm some storm drains. The rain will increase Saturday, becoming heavy at times Saturday afternoon and evening. Rain should taper off to showers by Sunday morning.
