I wouldn't mind just a little rain here. It's already dry enough in the woods that we need a water truck for the roads...and that's rare in April.
Merely white ground this morning in the Banana Belt. Hey, I think going to this thing is going to save me about $3000! If not for the PNW gathering, I'd be heading to a kayak thing and last year I came close to buying a spendy one that I foolishly got in and tried out. Some new kayakers here bought two of them and have been very snobby about it. And that one I tried out has been stuck in my mind since, so it is a good thing to not go to try out kayaks. Although I am going to try out a used purple one that a good friend has....it is very pretty.

50 and light rain here. It's funny. It's done nothing but rain here all winter but let it go a week without and the ground is cracked.

Does that mean that now you'll have more time and money to make huckleberry pies and cookies?

Well woke up this morning when Hubby went to work and we have a trace of snow on the ground and more falling from the sky.
Man April 20th and we still have snow!
Hope it goes away in two weeks.

Yeah the bird feeder and the squirl feeder have been emptied almost everyday. Poor little things are cold and trying to keep warm by eating like little pigs.
The cats have fun watching all the activity from inside the slider door.

Squirrel feeders? Baiting them is illegal here I think. Do you shoot them with the 22 or a good pellet gun? My mom would love to have me shoot the squirrels that constantly raid her bird feeders but she's a "townie". The police would not like me shooting up the neighborhood.

This is the roadcut at 3200 feet at the base of Alpental ski area....that's about 20 feet worth of strata, with the 32" of new snow from 2 weeks ago on top...snowed another 3 feet or so since then...
Paradise Ranger Station, 5500 feet, at Mt Rainier, just past 800 inches of snowfall for the year.....which is still far below the 1998-99 world record of 1140 inches at Mt. Baker. There's currently 215 inches on the ground at Paradise, but in 98-99, Baker peaked at a 340 inch snowpack!--and 315 inches at 5500 feet at Alpental, just 50 miles from Seattle.
Jackson Hole in Wyoming has had over 600 inches fall, an all-time record. 482 inches at Monarch, Colo. also a record.....Silverton has over 550 inches, a record, prolly several other records in Colorado.....Wolf Creek, in SE Co, averages nearly 500 inches a year of total snowfall, briefly touched 205 inches base depth, back in Feb.....
Alta, Utah has had 672", but 800 or so is their record. Alyeska, 826 inches (But their base depth is 30 inches at near sea level, versus 208" up top...this is typical of the last few years in alaska, where temps really are a lot warmer----permafrost melting earlier, Arctic sea pack ice much reduced....)
