I just checked the airport weather station about an hour's drive south and they had almost exactly 1 inch more of precipitation than here, yesterday: 1.8 inches, snow and rain.
And, it was raining down there still, this morning.
I bet the dry-land farmers of the Palouse Hills are happy with that. That is, it it didn't run off their fields but I suspect that it did not.

It's feeling like 6c. Unusually, it's remaining this temperature all day and night. That's according to this forecast today.
It isn't raining right now but rain is due in an hour. With humidity being at 74

we had a lot of rain again last night and then this morning, but now it is cleared up and sunny and windy and cold.
some chance of snow is forecast for later but i'm ok with snow, the temperatures will go back to the teensF tonight - i'm hoping the winds don't get bad enough to take the power out again with that kind of temperature and wind it would be hard to keep warm for so many people.

It might hit 70 today in Portland OR. That is needed to dry up some of the water, thats been causing flooding everywhere.

Well, we survived. There was an 800 mile squall line that produced tornadoes from Texas to Michigan last night.
We had >50 mph winds and a torrent of rain to start with, no hail.
My property was sandwiched between 2 lines of tornadoes--TWS didn't actually identify them BUT my phone alarm went off. I was in conversation with DD's 12 minutes N. It was 64 degrees F high yesterday. DD's Tornado Warning started at 6:45 and ended at 7:30PM. Mine went until 7:45. They never lost power. I lost power at 7:20, down in the basement with Tegan. DD's said to let the cats fend for themselves since I don't enough hands to wrangle all of them. Suffice that everybody was in the house, and the ponies must have stayed in their shelter. I saw them this morning eating some of the hay put out 2 days ago. I did and will be throwing hay in their shelter and in the west half of usable manger today and tomorrow so they don't have to be out eating in this. ALTHOUGH, they didn't look too cold this morning, even with the driving snow...
Last night DD's said to keep tight and take a nap. I lit one of my oil lamps in the kitchen for light, a candle in the bathroom (white) sink below the mirror, and a candle on a table in the bedroom. I had located my Quantum flashlight/strobelight so I could walk around.
I let the power company have time to restore, but by 10PM I decided to use my generator, 1960's vintage, but in cherry condition when we moved here. I had never turned it on before by myself. Not hard. We had converted it from gasoline to natural gas, thanks to my Magnolia tree planting request where they flagged out "natural gas line", and then we knew we Could.
Anyway, the flipper is above and slightly east of the cement slap where the generator lives. I figured, power (natural gas) First, then start the generator, Then flip from power company electricity to generator--that sits some 8 ft east and against the north basement wall, Well marked.'
Ran it until 3AM, when I woke up to check and saw town streetlights on, so I could flip it back to power company electricity, then switch OFF the generator, they flip the natural gas line to OFF.
I will need to change the oil in it--with everything going on last year we never got to it.
