No weather whatsoever. Way too hot. Way too sunny. Not even thunderstorms to make it interesting. I'll take winter here over summer anyday! And I'll take the Midwest's exciting weather over this boring stuff any day. At least it's been nice the past few weeks. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-35224817336925613462009-01-07T00:10:00.000-08:002009-01-07T00:10:00.000-08:00My migraine today started at around 11:55.

I left the East Coast to move here ten and a half years ago and I LOVE the weather.

In the town proper, they were blowing pretty good around 6PM. It seems we are are somewhat sheltered from the wind this time. It is POURING however! When I could see the river (Middle Fork Snoqualmie) before it got dark, it was rising, but not as fast as '06 thank goodness. We're about 50 feet above it, but I know what happened elsewhere. Hope this is not a repeat. I'll be happy to get rid of this snow though.

There's been rain more often than not, but not often very hard. I guess the rain shadow is extending this far south for the time being.<BR/><BR/>A couple of minor flickers, but no power outage. I suspect that Sunday/Monday's heavy wet snow cleaned out most of the stuff that was weakened by the earlier snowfall. Walking in the woods we can see evidence everywhere of brush being beaten down by snow. Broken sword ferns anyplace they're not protected by tall firs. Many, many fir branches down, almost to the point they've caught up with alder. We can see farther into the woods from the roads almost everywhere.<BR/><BR/>- PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-63929420211275873572009-01-06T19:39:00.000-08:002009-01-06T19:39:00.000-08:00Just had a house-rocking gust at my protected hill...Just had a house-rocking gust at my protected hillside in Union Mills and decided to check some weather sites.

Where else do you have such a diversity in climates? Rain forests on the coast, some of the heaviest snow in the country in Cascades, and sage brush desert in the East. The only element I wish we had more of is Thunderstorms. But then again, who likes the humidity the usually goes along with them. BTW, as I write, strong winds, rain pounding on my window, and a warm cup of tea!
