Greetings from the depths of Oregon winter. They have been saying this is supposed to be an unusually wet and unusually cold winter here this year. I think they are right, just not necessarily at the same time. It's the beginning of December and we already had a light snow and almost a week entirely below freezing (pretty rare here) and now we are in the midst of a week long biblical level rainstorm, but it's pretty warm getting into the 50's. It's been coming down hard for a couple days already and here's our outlook for the coming week:
To be fair, it's not unusual for the 5-day to be all clouds and showers, but "heavy rain" and "rain" are serious business. I'm already looking forward to the break on Tuesday for just "showers". Storm drains are clogging and flooding the streets in places and our backyard is a giant mud pit. Consequently we have muddy dog prints on our carpet.
I went into the garden yesterday morning to grab some carrots for dinner and it was like pulling the carrots out of water. There was no resistance whatsoever. I also noticed that we are almost out of carrots! There's only about a half dozen left out there and they are pretty tiny. Well, that just means I need to plant more carrots next year.
