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.
Only fifteen days left until Christmas

LOOKING SOGGY After a few days of some clear, sunny days, albeit cold, it looks like we re in for a drizzly one this week. If the forecast comes true you may have to resign yourself to use that umbrella more often and keep the boots by the door! Of course, with all our little micro-climates around here, one area could be wet while the other dry, so personally, I d like to go against the odds and hope for a bit more dryness out here in West Valley for a change. Then again, it s December.
