Let It Rain

Here in Western Washington we are
expecting a lot of rain through Christmas.

 January, March, October, November and

December when we most of our rain. These

five months it averages about five inches  per 

month. Also, it is 61 percent of our rainfall.

During the summer is our dry spell. June

through September we have five inches

total. September has half of that total. 

Usually takes place in the second half

of September. June has a little over an

inch of rain while July is very little and

August just under  an inch.

So that is my history lesson on rain here

in Western Washington. Want to travel

here the best time is July through the 

middle of September are the best odds.

As you can imagine we look forward to

the sun coming out whenever it can this

time of the year. 

On Thursday I was talking with my cousin

Christy on the phone who lives in the middle

of British Columbia. She told me they have

six inches of snow which is below their average.

It is old snow as well. We would consider six

inches of snow a lot here. 

Now that we are having rain for the next couple

of weeks or so I expect Christy lives they will

start having new snow.

It would be nice to have a White Christmas,

however, the odds are against it. I only remember

once when it snowed on Christmas. 

I do remember another time in 1974 where 

we had snow the day after Christmas. So to

have a white Christmas we have to go to the 

mountains or somewhere else. My dreams 

still is to have a White Christmas.
