Transcriber Weather

Sorry, but it is a lovely 21c here with a light breeze.
Don't worry you will get your own back at me in about 7 months when we have winter.

[Morgan]

I had been worrying about all of you. We were hoping for a little rain but I think that is out of the picture now. Hold on!

Randi, Do you get Lake Snow? Are you snowed in?

[Randi]

We don't normally get Lake Snow.
When I went to the grocery store this afternoon, I saw just a few scattered flakes but nothing stayed on the ground.
This evening it is very cold, but dry.

Time to get a good supply of beer in your fridge! I expect there will be a run on cold ones!

A bit of a mixed bag this Christmas.

I hear there ia another atmospheric river headed toward you folks in the Vancouver /Seattle area. We, however, have not had measurable precip as of yet. I can't remember when it rained last.

[ggordon]

I don't pay that much attention to the rain, other than to enjoy it. If it looks like rain and I need to go out, I put on my raincoat and waterproof shoes. I like the way the rain cleans the air. I live on the side of a hill away from the creeks and rivers. So It's never a problem here. However, the wind storms have been a problem; this year more than usual. There have been lots of power outages, Internet outages, and road closures from downed trees. Fortunately, the lights have only flickered at my house so far and no trees down in my immediate neighborhood.

[Michael]

We've had 1.2 mm of rain so far, but it has been windy. Mind you, we are in a sheltered area for both wind and rain. We're in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, so we get less rain that places just north of us, and we are in a bit of a hollow, so our winds are about half of what they are three or four kilometers south of us.

'Heartbreaking' fire in Grampians grows to more than 74,000 hectares — 'the size of Singapore'
Firefighters have worked tirelessly through the night to protect homes from a bushfire "the size of Singapore" that continues to burn through Grampians/Gariwerd National Park in Victoria.
Despite cooler conditions over the next few days, the Grampians blaze is expected to burn for weeks.
