On Saturday, a blast of cold arctic air hit us with about 1/2" of snow. Today, the temperature warmed up to almost 60 with heavy rains and wind. Because there was so much snow accumulation in the mountains and higher foothills around Puget Sound, all of the rivers are flooding. Many areas south of me (Everett, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Seattle) are encountering flooded streets, mudslides, closed highways and rail lines.

Up here in Marysville, it hasn't been too bad, although we did get an inch of rain since midnight last night (1" in 12 hours!) This is the rain graph from my on-site weather station here at Meadowcreek Park Observatory.....(the red line is midnight, and each green "spike" is the hourly rainfall)...

Needless to say, I haven't done any astronomy lately!!!!!
