Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
71 million...wow, that's the equivalent of wiping out Texas and California (and that's still a couple million short.) Trying to put that number in perspective, and nope, that's still hard to wrap my head around....
And 7 million....Washington state has 7.8 million, so basically wiping that out to equal the number of Jews that died. wow....
What a day! What a past 33 days!
Today 3.10" (ambient)
Since March 31st over 11 inches!
Since Dec 1st over 20 inches.
Pond now inches from overflowing, first time since late 2020!
Some minor flooding today first time in years! SW wapello county had a report of 6.5" just today!
Todays drought monitor still had mby in "abnormally dry" which will be gone next week. Its honestly as wet now as I have seen since maybe sept 2020. Looking at May forecast a 2010 deluge isnt out of the question. Snodgrass referred to 2010 as a analog year? Seeing so many unusual things not seen for years! Like my basement leaking!
