Six more weeks of winter?

Punxsutawney Groundhog Sees His Shadow

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) - Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, but it was hard to find a complainer in the crowd on Gobbler's Knob, where the morning temperature was well above freezing and Thursday's high was expected to hit 48 degrees.

There were a few boos at the groundhog's prediction of six more weeks of winter, but most of the hundreds of revelers instead turned the event into an impromptu Pittsburgh Steelers rally.

Fans in football jerseys sang "Here we go Steelers," and members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle - the top-hat- and tuxedo-wearing businessmen responsible for carrying on the groundhog tradition each year - threw black and gold Steelers "Terrible Towels" as they waited to rouse Phil from his burrow.

The furry forecaster may be popular, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday...................

AND THE SEAHAWKS WILL WIN! hee hee

Thars snow in them there Hills!

This is the webcam from one of our local ski areas Stevens Pass that we frequent. The 2 inches of rain we got drenched with down here in the last 24 hours translated into heavy snow for all of the Cascade Mountain Range. Check out the clock tower on the right, it is crowned with a good 5 to 6 feet of snow on the top and we are expecting another 2 feet in the mountains by Monday night!

Down here in the lowlands we are sogging through yet another day of heavy rain, this is the wettest winter I can remember since I moved here!

UPDATE:

Seattle finished up the month with 11.65 inches of rain, making it the wettest January since 1953 -- home of the original rain streak -- when they had 12.92" of rain. (That stands as the wettest month ever in Seattle.)

Overall, this month ranks as the third-wettest month ever, just another heavy shower behind the 11.85" that fell in December 1979.

Update 2: Feb 4 Yes it got a little windy here and it wasn't just the Seahawk fans roaring.....

High Winds Wreak Havoc In Western Washington

UPDATED: 7:57 am PST February 5, 2006

SEATTLE -- Winds as strong as 78 mph downed trees and power lines across Western Washington and Oregon Saturday, leaving at least 160,000 homes and businesses in the dark. The gusts subsided as darkness fell. The State Patrol reported a Kalama woman -- 38-year-old Ingrid J. Davis -- died while driving near the Wahkiakum-Cowlitz County line in southwest Washington when a tree fell on her car. Traffic had to be diverted off some roads in the region because of flooding, shifting or sinking asphalt, falling trees or downed power lines. The storm forced closure of the floating bridge that takes State Route 520 across Lake Washington east of Seattle for the first time in nearly seven years. Crews reopened it early Sunday morning. High water, heavy winds and a mudslide prompted a 48-hour shutdown of passenger rail service north of Seattle. Washington State Ferries shut down the Port Townsend-Keystone ferry run connecting the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula and Whidbey Island because of choppy waters on Puget Sound. Seattle's zoo shut down because of concerns that winds would topple trees.

Day 27 of Rain in Seattle,the streak ends!

UPDATE: Seattle did not receive any measurable rain Sunday, ending its 27-day rainy streak.
This is the second longest rainy day streak in history, the longest streak was 33 days and I don't think I can handle that! Even though we had a dry day Sunday, today begins with a new rain system with heavy rain and mountain snow....one dry day out of 29 days!

Day 26 of Rain in Seattle, and counting

Mom get well soon!

Raindrops keep fallin on my head...

or so goes that classic ballad....No wonder I am feeling damp , mossy and growing webbed feet!

UPDATE 2: Ok I guess I better get out the Ark plans.....

For the 25th day in a row, rain has both been in the forecast, and fallen in Seattle. That's now tied for the second-longest streak of rain ever. Over 11.5 inches of rain has fallen since mid-December.




UPDATE:

Wednesday was the 24th consecutive day with measurable rain in Seattle.

This ties it for the third-longest all-time rainy streak in Seattle.

Tuesday was the 23rd consecutive day with measurable rain in Seattle.

This makes it the fourth-longest all-time rainy streak in Seattle. Here's the Top 5 rainiest streaks:

• #1 - 33 days from Jan. 6 - Feb. 7, 1953
• #2 - 25 days from Jan. 28 - Feb. 21, 1961
• #3 - 24 days from Nov. 10 - Dec. 3, 1953
• #4 - 23 days from Dec. 19, 2005 - Jan. 10, 2006 (current)
• #5 - 22 days from Dec. 18, 1964 - Jan. 8, 1965

Back

Wow. We just got back online after our DSL modem was fried by a power surge last Sunday. We had a bit of a wind storm and the power went off for an hour, when the electric came back on, it did so in two big surges which fried the modem and the cordless phone! Since Monday was the holiday, Verizon was closed and the order for a new modem,which had to come from the east coast went in on Wednesday morning....Finally the modem showed up this afternoon (Friday)..it was a real eye opener how dependant we have become on the 24/7 Internet access as we went cold turkey for a week with no Internet!

So things will get back to normal here soon as I catch up with email and ebay!
