Rain returns

 

 

Now that's the sort of thing you can't pass up at Costco. Anyway, like a jar of Spanish sunshine on the counter. I don't have words for this awful weekend of news. 

The rain is back with a vengeance this morning. This latest atmospheric river is the last of the year (or so they promise) because by mid-week the temperature drops and it starts snowing in the mountains-- by the foot. 

That finally turns off the fire hose gushing down into the western rivers. We are lucky in Seattle, but many have lost their homes, even people in communities not especially close to rivers. 

 

My friend Karen sent that picture of Methow River in Twisp near our house, looking like a typical spring flood. It will certainly rise up again today and tomorrow. How strange no snow on the ground in mid-December. But fortunately, that's about to change.
