Hi y'all A special shout out to Denecee, Supergranny & Biscotti. Tried finding a sun for ya, but none was available. So instead I am telling ya what I think about this weather fish gotta swim, birds cannot fly i got no man, 'cause waters too high can't help missin' this man of mine. the ground is so very wet where I live that yesterday morning when I took my dog out for a walk, I slipped and fell. And now where once was grass...all is MUD. Also, last night was going to take the dog for a walk and just as we took 3 steps out of the door, she did her business and turned around to go inside. She does not like the cold wet rain either.

LOL! That little rhyme is cute. I know what you mean about even the dogs don't want to go outside. Our Hudson(big black lab/golden retriever) has a look of disgust on his face trying to find a place to go, but he does his business and runs back inside. I can't believe those fires in Okla/Texas!! My family is down there. Too bad, we couldn't trade them some rain for some sun.

I saw on Good Morning America that the way the Jet Stream is (I think they called it a Pacific Jet Stream) it is keeping all the wet weather up north. I am in Boston and we are supposed to get wind swept rain and they are saying RAIN on Saturday. they said the northern part of Colorado is getting a lot of snow while the southern part of the state is also having wildfires.

Hi All Back! Loved the rhyme! and yes, I've been developing webbed feet. On all the news, I just feel so sorry for all the people with the water creeping up to their doorsteps and beyond. Where their parking lots have become lakeside property. KIRO TV says today: "Friday's rain extended the string to 26 days, and forecasters predicted more over the next 10 days. " In 2001 I had my balcony flood, tearing down thru the garage and leaching water into the living room for 8 ft. Luckily I had great insurance who chose/organized/paid (after deductibles) quality contractors because I had NO CLUE being a 1st time homeowner. I think they paid close to $10grand, had to replace the carpets, but mainly the mold had started and I could have lost my house! Still, I thought I would lose my mind with the de-humidifiers and fans blowing upstairs and downstairs 24/7 for 6 weeks trying to dry the place out. My cats screamed and howled the whole time. We held Thanksgiving dinner on a bed in the back bedroom just trying to escape the noise of the fans. So, I can appreciate the nightmares all these flooded people are experiencing. I totally agree with Denecee's wish that we could ship some of this liquid down to quench the fires in Okla/Texas! Meanwhile, I'm just hibernating and feeling grateful my kitties use inside kitty litter boxes - cause I sure ain't going out there in it! Stay dry all! Bisc

It is so dark here with no sun, my body thinks I've turned into a mole. Have to have the dang lights on all day..."CONSPIRACY THEORY" the energy companies got together and did one hell of a rain dance. Packing everything up today...well, at least my puppy and gonna find the sunniest place I can and MOVE.

On Saturday, our weather broke two records. the 24-hour precipitation total was 2.08", stomping the 1917 record of .94". We also had a record high temperature of 54 degrees, one degree higher than the old record.

We've been in a drought again with no measurable rain since last March, so last night we got some drizzle. It turned out to be a muddy drizzle with all the dreaded mountain cedar pollen in the air along with high wind bringing in the desert dust. Everyone's car was speckled with dirty water today!

Just till today, Mama. My flight leaves at 6:30 tonight. Quick trip to train the two McAfee writers in our Santa Clara office. And, well... "it's not bad" is all relative!!! I'm staying at the SC Marriott, "next door" to our offices. So I checked in yesterday early and walked to the office. First of all, no one walks around here! And then, well, OK, it's COLD out! I am so spoiled! ETA: Geez, y'all have been getting a lotta rain up here, yes? When we flew in yesterday, everything was green green GREEN! And lots of lakes/rivers/waterholes!

I've been spoiled with the 'balmy' winter temps of around 40° for the past few weeks here. Rained non-stop yesterday and snow today...oh noooooooooooo!!! Looks like a winter wonderland out there cos it's the 'sticky' kind, sticking to all the trees...but the good news is...it's going back up in the 40s and will all be melted by tomorrow again! Yay!...thanks Mother Nature!

I would not complain about the weather, I would rather be 40 and balmy, we could be under two feet of snow. I am glad winter is half over.

Still raining.....all I gotta say is I hope this isn't the return of the 40 days and 40 nights thingy. If it is we're in a lot of trouble. Question?? "How long can you tread water"?? thats from an old Bill Cosby bit.

Costa--Lots and lots of rain. But it really has not been cold. Just the last few days. Have a safe trip home. Next time you are in the area---we could possibly meet.

We are getting some snow at the moment, they can't seem to figure out how much were going to get though. One station says a dusting, another says an inch, a different ones says 2 to 4 inch, and still another said maybe 6 inch of the white stuff. Come on, I want about 3 feet so everything gets shut down for a few hours.

Um... 40 degrees (F) is NOT balmy!!!!! Mama, next time! This was a very quick trip, and one I didn't want to take since my shoulder is still so sore from the accident. I didn't even go out on Tuesday night; just ordered room service. (Which, turns out, was a truly awesome "local field baby greens salad with artisan blue cheese and balsamic vinagrette!) I'm heading to Reno the end of this month. If it snows, I'm gonna cry. Fortunately, my friend knows how much I LOOOOOOVE being cold (not!) and so we'll hunker inside and hibernate the weekend if necessary!
