As if we haven't had some freaky wather here already Frank...
Wettest Nov in history of Warshington
60 to 70 mph sustained winds with 100 mph gusts
2 million out of power for several days
Me out of power for 8 days (required survival content)
10 to20 deg F weather for a week when we seldom get to much below freezing
One inland city had 120 mph winds
Now.. no fresh snow for me to ski in for last 3 weeks.. pure Hades
Calif was freezing for a week (poor babies)
...There is a reason I live in this milder, albeit wetter, climate where
rods seldom go thru 2.1 cases and the sasquatch freely roam
