Early spring crocuses have already broken ground, catkins on hazelnuts are expanding, and pussywillows are budded out. Certain weeds are growing. Signs of a very early spring, if you look for them. Inspiring, but I'd sure like a week or two of winter!

5/31/2012 6:00 AM 0.19 M M M M 50 degrees, overcast, foggy, calm, and everything is still very wet/damp from last night's rain. Peaceful, sweet-smelling morning, with several Swainson's thrushes singing in the background. Cool and drippy yesterday evening was enough to warrant a fire in the woodstove.
6/1/2012 7:00 AM 0.16 M M M M Problems logging on this AM?!? Yesterday morning was drippy and foggy almost to 1 PM. Then more showers early this morning. Of 0.16", 0.04" came yesterday, and 0.12" this AM. Ended May 2012 with 0.87 inches of rainfall (1.65" is 15-yr average for this gauge location).

Was on a trail in the forest and heard what sounded like sprinkling rainfall, only to see a "rain" of caterpillars dropping from the canopies. Most alder and crabapple canopies have been denuded. Haven't seen an infestation like this.

Long-range forecast is for non-stop sun, so grateful for this rain now. It may be a long time before we see it again. Perfect timing to minimize wildfire hazards before the 4th.

7/9/2012 6:15 AM 0.06 M M M M Currently, 51 degrees, partly cloudy, calm. Light patchy fog, but clearing. Had an unexpected T-storm pull through last night (2:37 AM). Hard downpour of quarter-inch size hail initially, with lots of lightening, especially to the far east (Skagit Co. area). We typically only get about 1 T-storm here per year, so this was noteworthy (and fun). Also bigger hail than is typical for here.

Had off and on T-storms all around us most of yesterday, then last evening, had most intense hours long-ongoing electrical storms I have ever witnessed at this location. One bolt struck very close by and zapped the house electrical network. Currently, house is back with power, but modem is apparently fried, so am registering this from my office computer. Storms like that are unheard of here. This rainfall brings my July monthly total to wettest in my 15 years of data collection at this location.
7/15/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 55 degrees, heavy overcast, breezy. Yesterday's high reached 75. Today looks much different.

Did not feel or look like a mid July day. Wettest July on record here for Lopez (including JG's 33-yr data). Went to see Jack G.'s Doug-fir that got shattered by lightening (from last week's storm). Impressive the amount of force a bolt of lightening has; portions of the tree were scattered up to 200 feet away!
