Roadwork started in Skamokawa
July 22, 2021
LOOKING GOOD As this week begins, we started out with a very sunny Sunday morning and with temps in the low 80s, it s just what the hay makers wanted to see. The forecast is looking dry with maybe a few days with a bit of cloudiness and temperatures in the low 70s, so that s sounding perfect to me.
FIRE DANGER It s still very important to be wary of anything that could cause a spark which could start a fire. As we have seen, there are thousands of acres in our Pacific NW area that are currently burning out of control and we really don t want to have anything like that happen here in our county. If you re towing a trailer, it s best to double check those safety chains so they aren t striking/dragging along the pavement, as recently, several fires along the freeway were caused because of that very thing happening. Here s to being mindful of the dangers of fire, and may we all take extra precautions during this super dry time.
Time to get the hip waders out?

NICE, THEN SOGGY It was certainly nice to enjoy some sunshine this last Friday and Saturday, as it was a much needed break that gave the high waters time to recede and gave all the outdoor lovers a time to stroll or bike in some dry conditions, awesome! I think we often take nice days for granted, so when they show up after a week of steady rains and nothing but dark gloomy skies, those bright, clear skies and sunshine are really appreciated that much more! The coming week looks a bit wet, with even some blustery winds and minor flooding, but then again, it s January and well, it beats the snow that is bombarding the UK or Spain right now!
