wet days

This Christmas season has seen several good wet storms arrive at our address, shipped from as far away as China!  Well one tropical tap could be traced to the South China Sea, so that counts.  Portland has not been in line like we have; their official total sits at just under 6", while our register is just shy of nine.  A cold snap arrives later tomorrow - and possibly a few flakes! - so it's a good thing the wood-pile is holding up nicely.
