Officially here, but you wouldn't know it yet. The first day of spring (surprise!) was grey and damp with a sharp breeze blowing. My poor eyes were streaming from the cold wind by the time I got to ukulele group yesterday. Very attractive.
We had a little teaser of nice weather on Sunday. Seattle went slightly crazy, as we do here in the spring. The streets were jammed with distracted drivers rushing about, convertibles with the top down, and there wasn't a parking spot to be had on Alki Beach or near the parks. I saw people in shorts and t-shirts, walking around pasty white in the chilly air.
According to Cliff Mass, our local weather guru, many Northwest stations have already received their total water year amounts for the meteorological year. That's right, if there isn't another drop of rain or snowflake for the next 6.5 months (ha ha) these stations would have their full normal precipitation for the water year. Goodness.
We're dreaming of dry, warm places and counting down the days until our little Palm Springs vacation next week.
