Wednesday April 12, 2006 In the nine years I have lived in the Bay Area, I have never seen a segue into spring like this. It has been raining so much for the past five weeks here that I am considering moving up to Seattle. The weatherpersons are saying that this is the most rainfall we have received (for March) since 1904. The 10-Day forecast doesn't give us much hope either.
Normally by this time, we would be having the gorgeous sunny weather that justifies living here. Not so, this year. The only reason I am not going nuts is because we have been going out of town during weekends, to places where the sun at least peeks out a few times a day. Our regularly scheduled hikes these days come with a "rain or shine" policy... finally putting to use our GORE-TEX® outdoor wear. These are usually kept in hibernation by now.
Weird weather patterns scare the hell out of me when every news article is reminding us of the next big one to come... on the 100th anniversary of the 1906 quake.
