Yesterday began with a record high temperature of 59 and ended with snow. It was one of the strangest weather days ever seen in Seattle. Our wet storms typically come up from the south or west, so it was oddly disconcerting hearing rain beat sideways on the north windows all afternoon.
Almost 2 inches fell (another record) causing widespread urban flooding. If that wasn't enough, the temperature dropped in the afternoon and it started to snow about 6. All this crazy whiplash caused by the unusual convergence of two strong storms over Seattle, one from the tropical Pacific and another down from the north. Winter started with a bang.
But there was a nice bit of sunshine to the day-- fruits from the desert sent by my sister. We look forward to these delicious homegrown Meyer lemons to make lemonade on Christmas morning. But since it's just the two of us this year, I'll probably save them for something else. Lemon meringue pie?
The lemons come from a generous friend, but she grows the delicious pomegranates in her Las Vegas backyard.
