Hi Deb
I must be closer to the water than you are (like three miles to Puget Sound / Possesion Sound). My elevation is around 220 feet.
Everett's low temps have typically been around 46 for the last few weeks, with just 4 down to 41-43, and three of those were in the last 5 nights.
(I'm using The Weather Channel data, I don't have a recording met lab in my yard! But no frost on the pumpkin yet.)
Cheryl,
Nice image! I'm puzzled by the local habit of wearing shorts in late fall. Showing off? Or storing up Vitamin D from low-angle sun to get them through the winter?
Once I visited San Diego CA (which must have very little rain, ever). They were having a very light drizzle, which I would have called a "mist" if I had noticed it. Since you could tell what part of the sky the sun was in, I wouldn't even have called it "overcast".
Well, mothers were cutting holes in plastic garbage bags to make raincoats to "protect" their children from the terrifying downpour. I guess they thought you could melt, like the Wicked Witch of the West.
One clerk in a store poked his head outside to see the mist, then bravely announced that he was going across the street and would bring back food for anyone who needed it. It was like he was offering to plunge into a raging torrent to save people from resorting to cannibalism.
