Rainy Seattle

Funny joke? No, it really has been raining quite a bit in Seattle this past week or so. Usually the winter time brings drizzle in the city and snow in the mountains. It's been raining pretty hard lately, and it's been warmer than usual. According to this article, it's rained over a third of an inch for the past 10 days. This has led to landslides and a rising snow level (yesterday reported at 5,000 feet on King 5).

That doesn't bode well for the slopes. Ironically, last year it was the lack of precipitation that led to a short season. Now, they're getting it, but unfortunately not in a powdery white form.
