Not for nothing, but I spent most of my adult life in Seattle area which has quite a reputation for rain. Actually, our annual rainfall (55) is more than Seattle (33 or so), but it mostly arrives between November and March then dry for 6 months. I just found this cool site, weather underground (www.wunderground.com) which has a weather station near us on the San Juan Ridge. The total rainfall for past 6 months is 41 inches, with March contributing 12 inches.
So far in April we have logged 2.5 inches but it feels more like 4 inches. And it keeps on coming wiht forecast of rain for next 10-14 days. The daffodils are having fun and lasting longer than usual and we have a couple of tulips coming up.
Everyone around here is ready for sunshine again. Some of us are scrounging for firewood because we have run out. We were out last weekend cutting dead madrona trees to bring in more heat into the house. Not too bad.

Thanks for turning me on to www.wunderground.com. Still, I will not be completely satisfied until I can find a weather outpost at equivalent elevation. 2000 feet seems to low. The top of Almora hill is 3000 feet. I was thinking about setting up a weather observatory with a static IP here at the Village. Think I have enough projects to think up another one? ;>)
I was thinking there are at least 4 distinct micor-climates at Ananda. 1). Ayodyha,CH 2). Almora 3). Village Center 4.) Meru. We could have stations at all 4 locations! You and I do not have enought to do! :>)
