Man...I would LOVE to have some rain. We haven't had a decent rain since before Halloween. The governor has just announced a statewide drought. Like that's supposed to help or something. We have also been having unseasonably warm weather the past few weeks. Like it's 75 right now!

costacat, I am in beaverton/portland and i don't know how long that its been raining i lost track around day 25 but think it is around 30 days or so. That icky seasonal disorder is really getting to me. BIG TIME!! I think i will not complain. At least for today. I just found out that my brother is on his way to Russia (he works for exxon as an independent consultant)and I hear that Russia is in a very deep freeze.

I feel for ya, Lara. My manager just moved BACK to Beaverton from southern California (Alisa Viejo). Yeah, OK, so he could buy a humongous house for the same as he paid down here. But... it's rained pretty much every day since he's been back. Yuck!

Denecee: which park is that? I used to live down Peoria Road outside of Corvallis. I saw a picture in our local paper the other day of the flooded Hwy 34 leading into Corvallis over the river. I am in eastern Washington now (the desert) and it has been very wet here also!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you Auntiemike. The park is Bryant park and it always floods in the winter but not like this. Yeah, I couldn't believe Hwy 34 was shut down. All the traffic went to Hwy 20 coming into Albany and it was nothing but hectic down town. Costacat, sorry I didn't get back to you but it looks like Laralyn answered your questions. I would love to live where it is sunny most of the year but I sure don't want to live in earthquake haven. lol!

Yeah!!!!!!!!! The blue sky and lovely sun have finally returned to the Portland, Oregon area. And it is not too cold. Went for a long walk and sat in the hot tub and just enjoyed the beautiful day. And, and the SeaHawks are going to the SuperBowl...life can be good.

We're having a heat wave, it should hit 50 degrees today, they are predicting a record High today. Come on this is Minnesota, it could easily be 25 below zero right now. But I'm loving it, oh ya. I only wish it stayed this warm all year round.

it's 34 here and just quit snowing. we are supposed to get up to 10 inches tomorrow...we had 5 last night and the 12 from last week are still there. what a difference from los banos! we basically went from desert to snow country in 300 miles...only 10 miles down the road it's at 2,000 feet, so it's really different in just a few short minutes of driving. 12 miles east of us, at lassen volcanic national park, they are getting twice as much snow. lassen is about 5,000 feet and we are just below 4000. 39 something. i love the snow when i don't have to go anywhere and we have heat, electricity and food. unfortunately, we still own the other house, so we have to take turns living north and south. i go home this sunday with dd (she is a senior in high school) and dh will stay up here. i was here for this week, while he was down south...

Many parts of Canada are experiencing a warm winter. British scientists say the huge west Antarctic ice sheet may be disintegrating. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/01/30/warming060130.html

We are hunkering in and waiting for the wind storm. Forecasters are predicting gusts of 70 miles or more. I keep asking DH if he is sure that ocean won't reach us! There is quite an expanse of dunes and scrub before our house. They predict waves as high as 38 feet. Hmmm...this is the first big storm since we have lived here. What is really weird is that the motels are filling up...people come to watch the storm. We are told to be prepared for power outages and have batteries and candles. Ok we have those. Yesterday Lucee and I were walking on the beach and it wa beautiful. I was thinking how blessed we are to be living here....

It's blowing like a blacksmith's bellows up here on the coast near Canada, Supergranny. Can't imagine what it's doing where you are. Some friends have a long planned camping trip over your way starting today. Should be nice and breezy for them.

It's doing it in southwest Canada too... I'm even driving the mile to the gym because I'm afraid I'll get blown away. I have a huge, heavy, short plant in a zinc metal planter outside -- and it got blown over. Amazing.

We had a lot of rain today and last night, but it was needed. We've had a very dry winter.

Well, so far 22.8 inches in NYC, the second biggest snowfall ever. Could even pass the records. Have I ever told anybody how much I hate and despise snow? I am whining to myself now. This is horrible LOL

lol Ginger, it is so bad that for the first time ever my dog turned around and ran back inside. She usually loves snow. This scared the crap out of her. I tried to take a picture to post but all you see is white.
