As promised, let’s review some rainfall from December from your friends and neighbors.
Murphy Dennis, near Clark County Rifles, 8.88 inches; Claudia Chiasson, Carson, 12.50 inches; Tyler Mode, Battle Ground, 6.35 inches; Irv St. Germain, Prune Hill, 6.11 inches; Bob Starr, Cougar, 16.79 inches; Robin Ruzek, Lake Shore, 5.97 inches; Pete Conrad near Tukes Mountain, 6.22 inches; Merle Moore, two miles west of Yacolt, 9.03 inches; Dave Campbell, one mile west of Heisson, 5.77 inches; Jim Knoll, Five Corners, 6.87 inches; Dan Hein, Camas, 8.14 inches; Bill Sobolewski, Livingston Mountain, 7.39 inches; Judy Darke, Felida, 5.80 inches; Larry Lebsack, Barberton, 6.49 inches; Bob Mode, Minnehaha, 5.45 inches; Matt Sloan, McLoughlin Heights, 3.53 inches; Ellen Smart, Ridgefield, 6.50 inches; and our friend Roland Dersken from the Vancouver up north with 7.59 inches. I measured 5.66 inches here in Salmon Creek.
As I write this column, I am enjoying an otherwise nuisance ray of sunshine coming through my window and penetrating my computer screen. The angle of the sun is still so low that those sunsets can get in the way of everything, especially driving. But no complaints.
We had a delightful day Wednesday, the last for a few days anyway as wet weather returns, lasting through the weekend.
I hope you enjoyed the sunshine in the past couple of days. I thought we would have more fog or low clouds, but thanks to easterly winds, the west side of Clark County escaped this go-round and enjoyed clear skies, as did our neighbors in the east portion of the county.
