O, Olympia!

O, Olympia!

Hail to the Queen!

34 days & counting...

After a stressfully 'dry' day yesterday when she experienced 7 different measurements of 'trace rain' (which doesn't officially count toward measurable rain), she finally received 0.08 inches of rain at 8:58p.m. qualifying her for another day of rain in the streak. Odd--every where 'around' Olympia experienced rain ALL DAY yesterday! Even odder is that Olympia is where all the rain falls and normally the areas around Olympia are the 'bone dry' parts as they lie in the 'rain shadow' of the Olympic Mountains. Earlier this morning, Olympia broke the consecutive rain day record when a doozy of a storm passed through the area! It sounded as if a squall exploded onto the scene! Looks like there'll be no end in sight to the rain, too. How lovely...looks like there won't be much letterboxing around here. :(

Too bad Seattle missed out on the record with that one 'dry' day last week. It's been nothing but a deluge ever since.

Let's hope all the letterboxes around these drenched parts have been protected from the elements. If not, there might be some excited folks who discover letterboxing while hanging out around the Pacific in the next few months--when they comb beaches and discover lots of 'migrating' letterboxes bobbing up & down in the surf. ;)

Stay dry!

Keep warm!

Go Seahawks!

(Had to sneak that in as making the playoffs doesn't happen very often around here!)
