When it rains it pours


Above is the precip prediction mosaic for the lower 48. Pretty danged impressive precip figures progged out on the coast and up in the Idaho Panhandle. If these figs come to pass, somebody, someplace is somehow gonna be in a world o' hurt! (NOTE: We liked this graphic so much we found its source and made it a permanent part of our links at left.) When these big Pacific storms roll ashore and dumpall their water on the windward side of the Cascade Range, it always reminds me of a huge bomber hugging the deck and speeding toward its destructive destiny. These types of storms are so awesome and magnificent. I try to imagine the sheer weight of the water in the sky. All weather is wonderful but winter weather is even more so!

Awesome photo, John. Reminds me of when my Dad used to talk about flying in and out of Greenland!
