Man, I can't believe it is February already, time flies. Same old weather everyday it seems with a strong El Nino overhead. A few strikes of lightning and a clasp of thunder Wednesday evening added a little excitement. And about a half inch of rain in a very short time. That brought the total for Wednesday over 3/4 inch.
It appears that we may go into a much drier pattern beginning this weekend. That will make the grass grow like crazy. Since we should have some clearing we may get the first frost since last year, maybe that is  because clouds will be streaming through as well. Another two weeks and we will be past the serious threat of lowland snow at least any big snowstorms.

I thought the groundhog would not see his shadow but he did. I missed that one clouds rolled in later in the day with rain so we will see how accurate the marmot will be with the "six more weeks of winter weather."

Finally got my web cam set up at the beach house, that was an experience to say the least. Only took four hours to get it on the web considering it should have been a two hour job. At least I can see if it is raining there now. Might add a  couple more to catch the wildlife. BTW, my beach house is at Ocean Shores, Wa about 16 miles west of Aberdeen near the north jetty of Grays Harbor.

Local rainfall amounts for January coming soon so stay tuned.
