As indicated in an earlier post, the weather is Western Washington has been a bit wacky this year (so far). It hasn't rained much, and it has been warmer than normal. Out of all of the days in January, we only had measurable rain 8 of the 31 days. The total rainfall for us was 3.82". We have been enjoying the nice weather, but we don't want to "pay" for it later in the summer. But, I guess we'll see!
