Soaking wet in Seattle

It's been really wet. It's been raining a lot. And just when we thought it would never stop, it started snowing. In November. That just doesn't happen out here. So here's one for the scrapbooks... the tree lot at the Top Banana in Ballard covered in snow last Wednesday.



Turns out that November was the rainiest month in recorded history for Seattle. Now, that's really not that long, not even a hundred years of records, but it's a record.

Today, though, the veil of clouds finally lifted and all the mountains were out. The Cascades were crystal clear from Rainier to Baker and the Olympics looked positively Himalayan. Tomorrow I'm going up to the mountains and going for a ride in the snow. wheeeeeeeee!
