January is always a wet month, but enough already. The Northwest has been hammered by one "atmospheric river" after the next since the start of the month, over 5 inches of rain so far. Urban and river flooding in the lowlands, and massive amounts of snow over on the cold side of the state.
Amanda said in person school was cancelled for the girls, which rarely happens as they are accustomed to snowy winter roads over there. Fortunately, she can work from home today while the girls quietly "study." Ha!
The rain was pounding down so hard in the middle of the night I got up to see if the basement stairwell flooded. So far, so good. The only bight side to these drenching wet winters is a glorious early spring. The plant roots are hydrated and rarin' to go when the light returns next month. But for now, another long day inside. I think that calls for meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
