I have close to 8 inches in my yard. Boss said I had to come in so I tried. My zippy little convertible is no match for a got damn blizzard. I got stuck in the intersection first. Mainly because the snow was too deep for me to drive over. Tried to roll backwards and slid off the overpass and into the ditch at 6am. Texted boss...no reply. Texted around 7:30 that GTPD suggested  I call a tow truck. Got a one word "ok". Finally got home around 9:30 or so. Some kids helped me get my car back on the road and I followed the tire tracks ahead of me to get home. I had to go way past my street to find one someone had driven on so I could follow the tracks. At around noon boss texted me " Co-worker is coming in",  not you ok? Not are you still outside in your car? No fucks given at all....not a single one.

I wish I could send some to your area - it's been raining pretty much non-stop for days here.  Could be worse though.

Today we woke up to about 3" of snow. Drifts up to a foot. Even got out the ol' snowboard!

This much snow in Central Texas only happens maybe once in 30 years. It shuts down the whole state! Power outages, no internet (!!), frozen pipes, idiots trying to drive...
Looks pretty though.

Cold snap here. 40 this morning and a cold week ahead. Lots of sunshine tho, so the curtains are all open letting the warm light in.

wavy rain at the moment

I do not have  decent photographs but the smoke from western US fires stretched all the way to the Skeena watershed in north-central British Columbia during the month of September when the weather was relatively decent.

During the month of August, it rained every single day in port town of Prince Rupert.  (!)   The Bulkley, Kispiox and Skeena rivers all recorded post-war record flows during the month of August.  Lots of folks including Gitxsan commented that the river was higher during the month August than during the spring freshet.

By "high", I mean bank to bank and flowing in the trees!

Would have loved that rain to have fallen on California with a good smattering on Oregon and Washington state.

Monsoon rains overnight and through mid-morning. 

Also high winds.

Either of these things can send me into sweet slumber. Together? Coma.
