Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2005OTP - Yikes we are dry!
Pac NW has 2 seasons wet and dry. This year we have one season dry. I was looking at the weather and here is what they are saying for Oregon. MOST RECORDING STATIONS AROUND THE AREA HAD RAINFALL LAST MONTH WHICH RANKED JANUARY 2005 IN THE TOP 10 DRIEST MONTHS ON RECORD. EVEN MORE SERIOUS...THE NOVEMBER 2004-JANUARY 2005 RAINFALL TOTALS AT MOST LOCATIONS REPRESENT LESS THAN HALF THE NORMAL RAINFALL THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD. IN ADDITION...SNOWPACK IN THE NORTH OREGON AND SOUTH WASHINGTON CASCADES IS ONLY 19% OF NORMAL AND ONLY COMPARABLE TO THE MEAGER SNOWPACKS IN THE WINTERS OF 1976-1977 AND 1980-1981. It will be a big fire year here in the Pac NW. Doesn't look like it will turn around anytime soon. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com it's been just plain weird weather here for the past few weeks, with rain and fog and sun and freezes. yesterday afternoon, we had sleet. this morning the ground is hoary with frost, but the sky looks like it should be about 80 degrees outside. no wonder my poor bod is confused.LOL kate > Pac NW has 2 seasons wet and dry.

Northern Ill. should be in the dead of winter right now. One of the two worst months usually. Been in the 30's, 40's, most of the month. Might be living in the midst of the new San Diego weather without the ocean! But wait! We do have Lake Michigan! Can't believe how mild the winter has been so far.

Boy do I prefer the 70's! Gwen > Hi, > I'll add to this. Northern Ill. should be in the dead of winter right now. [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > Visit my website: > > > http://www.mzuschlag.com Boy do I know what you mean! We've had 4 or 5 major thaws since Christmas. Last year folks up here were overjoyed in May when the snowpack finally dropped below 6 inches. This year we can't keep snow on the ground. And our low-lying driveway keeps turning into a pond which becomes a sea of ice when it does freeze. sigh............. Well, it's supposed to stay below freezing now for at least a week and we're getting a bit of snow. no telling what March holds though. The winter sports industry is really hurting around here.

Can't win, one way or the other. ... We have secretly replaced your dilithium with Folger's crystals. The governor declared a drought emergency for Washington today. I love this sunshine, but we do need some rain here soon. Whoever would have thought people in Seattle would be saying that?? Carole > The governor declared a drought emergency for Washington today.

I well remember going through this back in '98 in Florida. People go there for the sunshine, but don't realize how much it rains. When it didn't rain at all for 4 months, we had serious firestorms, even though the drought had been preceeded by excessive rain and flooding. Sure hope it starts raining there soon.
