i hope you are that close office today jessica!

[Tina]

Be careful, Jessica.

[Triss]

Rained cats and dogs here yesterday... cloudy with showers today.

Send some snow my way Jessica, it sounds like you are getting way more than you need.

[Jessica]

I am at the close office today but I don't think it will start until this evening.

I wish I could share, Triss.

[Triss]

Oh boy... we were just put in a flood watch for this weekend.  Our major river here is set in the moderate zone.  I am hoping that we do not have any flooding at all.

[Tina]

Keep safe, Triss.

Oh boy... we were just put in a flood watch for this weekend.  Our major river here is set in the moderate zone.  I am hoping that we do not have any flooding at all.

Not good at all, repeat Tina's post, keep safe.

Here, 41 and cloudy.

[Dianna]

Jessica, be safe on the roads...

Hope you don't have the expected flooding, Triss.

Triss and Jessica... Please be safe!

Not sure what the current temp is, but it was much warmer today. Very nice. and should be even more so tomorrow.

[bayou girl]

according to the national weather service, we are up to 53 right now.  very, very nice.

[Tina]

It barely scraped 65* today and is on its way back down. The sun has dipped down behind the mountain and that is the time for the mercury to fall. And time for me to add wood.

[sunsoaker]

Our high today was 61. looking for 67 tomorrow. I'm dreading Sunday. Tired of being cold.

[bayou girl]

we won't break 60 with this warm spell.  and i'm dreading monday night, i will have to run water, not just drip faucets, predicting 18*.  that is too darn cold for december.

[sunsoaker]

I'm happy we'll break 60.. We broke it today. The downfall of the 1 1/2 day of warmer temps only to go back to freezing is the colds everyone gets. And yes, it really is too cold for December. We don't normally get this kind of temps until jan/feb.

We were talking weather at work the other day and our OIT guy said his Farmers Almanac says this will be the harshest winter we've seen in years.

[Jessica]

Snow today...blizzard actually.

Tomorrow...high of 0, low of -15 with wind chills in the -30's.

[sunsoaker]

Low to mid 40s at the moment. Supposed to get to mid to upper 60s. And your weather Jessica, is why I live in the South. lol

[bestofour]

Compared to Jessica I'm in a heat wave 37 ° Mostly Cloudy

[Tina]

I woke to 60* and sunshine.

Gloomy here, but not as cold...

[Triss]

Tina, it sounds like you have the best weather around.

It is raining here...  I know that is like a broken record for me.  When I drove into Napavine yesterday, all of the fields on the sides of the freeway are full of puddles of water.  The ground is saturated and anything else we get is going to turn those fields into lakes.  The rain is steady and consistent today which is good.  It would be a major downpour that would cause some serious flooding here or a levy break.

[Tina]

I hope it keeps from flooding conditions, Triss. Keep safe.
I am having a spurt of decent weather for sure. And the weather people are raving about how rare it is for December. But I remember many warm, shorts-wearing December days as I grew up. One year we had freezing rain followed by snow that accumulated and it stayed super cold all day. Our street was a sheet of ice and we were 'skating' on it in our sneakers. That was 3 days before Christmas. On Christmas Day my little brothers got new bikes and I was out teaching them to ride in shorts and a t-shirt. Yo-yo weather.
