A few comments:
Dan Hein had the sixth-driest March in his 49 years of weather records in Camas.
Dave Campbell: “Every little cloud that passed over but only dropped a drop or two, but enough to make the frogs start croaking.”
Jim Knoll: “All in all, it was a very good March, especially compared with the last couple of years.”
Larry Lebsack: “Enjoy the April showers.”
And I hope you are enjoying those April showers, as we had quite a few of them scattered about Saturday. Many fell while the sun was out in full force, enhancing the illumination and reminding me of a fairy tale scene.
