weather in Ony.

It has been a while since I (Doug) have written one(a blog) so felt I should get around to it. The thing Dee Dee and I both miss the most about Eastern Washington is the 4 distinct season. While 100 straight days of the same, might be paradise to some folks. I'm not one of them ..give me some freezing mornings and 100 degree days and I'm happy. ..

Even at my age there is still a great joy in a day with snow and yes teachers also like snow days as much as when we were kids, although sometimes they do mess up plans for what you need to get accomplished at school. This winter has provided us with some extreme days of weather.

The snow looked great especially before Christmas and with the Christmas lights and decorations. After a while though it just covered them up and the newer LEDs don't produce enough heat to melt the surround snow so they just get buried by it.


Our side lot durning flooding. Water was rushing by on it's way down to the lake.

Doug down by the lake. All the water you see around him are the trails we normally walk on.
Of course this is Western Washington so when you get a lot of snow its followed by rising waters. We had water flowing through the side yard and up to the house but now in the house. Unfortunately not all those here were so lucky.

Our neighbors house. Water didn't go in ,but it got close. and below our alley.

Amazing how fast we went from white to rain puddles.

With being stuck at home Dec and most of Jan. Peyton and I have taken to going to the boys basketball games to get out of the house some and watch some hoops. Peyton is all eyes at the games taking in the band, cheerleaders, fan and players. His favorite part though is the popcorn he always manages to finish off his half of the bag just fine.
