From snow to rain...

Last month, we got 20 inches of snow, this month we are being flooded out... much of the flooding is due to the massive amount of snow that is melting coupled with torrential downpours and "tropical rains." Ok, seriously, they said tropical on the news. Maybe it is warmer than normal but in my book 45 degrees is not tropical.

Here are some pictures of the pacific northwest under water for your viewing pleasure. It just struck me that the only way out of Seattle right now is by plane. Freeways/roads are all closed going north, south, east and west. Yikes. Fortunately for us, we aren't getting any of the severe flooding... all of the below are about 5-10 miles away from us.

Snoqualmie river...just a little bit above its banks, to say the least.

We have taken many visitors to see the Snoqualmie falls. If the road weren't closed, it would be pretty nuts to see it like this!

Close to one of our hikes we do quite frequently... we might have to put that one on hold for a while unless we bring a boat.

An aeriel shot. Wow. There really are no words. That is so much water.
