"Super" Weather?


Today was the third or fourth consecutive day without noticeable rain (note the subtle distinction between "noticeable rain" and "measurable precipitation," the more professional term used by weather wags). If I would have said "measurable precipitation" it would only be the second day.

The truth is it was a gorgeous, sunny afternoon on this day, albeit a bit on the chilly side. So, after 34 of the last 36 days having "measurable precipitation", we are enjoying the respite that, we are told, will vanish again in just a day or two. What you see above is the view from our driveway looking to the southwest as this afternoon gave way to evening.

We feel privileged to live here in the Northwest, weather notwithstanding. Plus, it's one of only two areas in the country with a Super Bowl team.
