I mentioned last week that the weather might play a trick on trick-or-treaters Saturday, and sure enough it did, at least for the first half of the evening. The skies slowly cleared by 7 p.m., and the rain for the most part ended.
It was the heaviest rain in some time. Leaves blocked many of the storm drains, causing street flooding. Rainfall amounts were generally around 2 inches for Saturday, with up to 6 inches in the foothills. June Lake near Mount St. Helens recorded 12 inches of rain Friday through Sunday.
Monday was much calmer, with nice sunshine in the afternoon, but did you feel the chill in the air? November is upon us. Is our weather back to normal now? Let’s hope so.
Some snow fell as low as Timberline Lodge, and light snow showers were forecast to drop down to the Cascade passes overnight and through today. I looked at the mountain webcams Monday afternoon, and Government Camp was still nice and green — no snow.
