Start of winter?

This morning, I saw the first rain with a bit of slush mixed in. The weather forecast for tomorrow includes the word “snow” in it. We’ve been getting pounded by heavy rains and wind for much of the week. If this was happening around Florida, it would be of a tropical storm variety. There is even one offshore that would be of hurricane (I guess Typhoon since we’re on the Pacific) strength, if it was further south.

The ground is absolutely saturated. The basement puddles started to recede today, but by this evening the new round of rain has caused all the puddles to return.

I don’t mind rain, but I’m beginning to get more than a little annoyed with the never-ending storm we’re getting.
