Weather Report

The Pacific Northwest made the national news tonight for the storm that slammed through today. It was about as close as we get to a hurricane. Winds over 100 mph on the coast, and 2-3 inches of rain over much of the area.

I got caught up on my home weather station data. November 2007 set a new record for least rainfall in November (2.48 inches). As you may recall, November 2006 set the record for most rainfall in a month (15.52 inches). We have already had more rain in December than we did in the whole month of November.

September 2007 set a new record for lowest daily high temperature in September (52 F). I keep track of the coldest day as well as the hottest day in each month. It was the fourth month this year that set a similar record. True, these are my home temperatures, but I have been tracking my home temperatures since 1981, rain since 1983, and wind since 1991. FYI, today's high temperature in this storm was 61 F, two degress short of the December record of 63 F. And to think we had snow last Saturday.

First snow on my new Subaru (may it see much more)
