It was beginning to sound a lot like Christmas at the annual Winter Concert in the Wahkiakum High School gym.

BRR--If you've been in our area, you will have noticed a ton of rain, and then, a big cool down and even some flakes of snow! Actually, enough snow to make it nice and white! I heard from a classmate who lives in Everett and he said it was snowing there on Sunday, so I was afraid we might get some when I saw those clouds rolling in on Sunday afternoon and the temperatures dropping lower and lower, so I guess it was no surprise. Still, more is predicted for the latter part of this week for several days with freezing temperatures to boot, so get...

Low tides on both days of the opening take place in the afternoon, making it possible for diggers to harvest clams in the daylight for a change, said Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager....

GRAY & WET--As we ended November, I think we broke a record for being one of the wettest Thanksgivings here at our house ever, as we had 3.89 inches of rain that day! Although there were many areas who were seeing a soggy day, I don't think there were many who were seeing that kind of rainfall, lucky us! I am truly grateful that the power didn't go out and that we just dealt with the usual high water and field flooding but nothing that was extrodinarily bad. Curious as to our rainfall amount here for the year? Well, in our valley, we're up to...
