How Dry I Am! NOT!
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about the fact that we had gone about 80 days with less than .04" of precipitation here in the Seattle-Tacoma area of Washington State.
Now here it is the first of November, and things have turned around completely.
The dry spell lasted through the 11th of October. Since then it has been raining off and on nearly every day. So much has fallen, that during the last 19 days of October, we ended up tied for the fifth wettest October on record. October came in about .9" above the average for the month (interesting when throwing out the first third of the month). It turns out that even though we show a deficit for August -October of about 2 1/3" -- we have still come out as being about 8" above average for the year.
The mountains that were looking all green - and had flowers growing all over - now several roads are closed in the park due to snow, and since yesterday, cars in the park need to carry chains.
