This year's first day of using indoor heating was November 2nd. Almost a month later than last year. (We had workmen leaving the door open all day last year) Our indoor temperature never dipped below 64 degrees prior to using heat.
Also beginning Nov. 2nd: a rain storm. According to my weather-station, we've had 7.39 inches of rain since the 2nd. Almost half of that (3.49 inches) has fallen in the past 24 hours! The creeks will be rising. Greetings El Nino.
Update: in the past two minutes we're now up to 3.51 inches in the past 24 hours. You see where this is leading, right?

I heard this afternoon, this isn't El Nino, rather it is called
The Pineapple Express.
Straight outta Honolulu, warm, wet, and more to come.
There is a neat US Army Corps of Engineers website that shows the river levels plotted versus time over several days. I chose the one for the Snohomish as I am monitoring what happens to Ruth & Paul's property. She says if the dike breaks (very possible this time!) that her barn floor will be 3 feet under water! Wobble will have to swim for safety.
I'll post the USACE website later when I have it stored.
