Pineapple Express is the name of this weather system where wet pacific air gets sucked up and dumped on western washington for days on end.  It's a bit more than normal this round and most of the area is in a state of emergency.  More than 60 major highways are closed, ALL roads to eastern washington are closed.. it's craziness.   at least it's 85 degrees warmer than fairbanks!

 the backyard, glad i don't have a basement.

why  is the neighbor's yard perfectly dry and mine totally saturated?

the ditch on the edge of my yard.  this morning there were pintails, mallards, and gulls <100 yards from my kitchen window.

my boss' mother-n-law took this photo off her front porch, just south of here.
