Do you ever wonder how
much it rains on the North Shore?
Weather maps tell us it rains more
on the North Shore than on the
South Shore, It rains even less in
Allyn. Seattle rainfall is slightly
more than half of the rainfall
here. The North Shore is no
banana belt. Thankfully, here the
rain is clean. It lacks the dissolved
and corrosive acids found in the
Tacoma rain.
One of the amateur
weather-watchers on the North
Shore is B. W. Waite. By January
he will have three full years of
rainfall records compiled at his
station about six miles southwest
of Belfair.
This year he recorded only
.1 9 inches of rain in July followed
by the record-breaking 5.54
inches in August. Our
mid-summer season was only six
weeks long at best before the dam
broke.
September established a
record in the other direction. The
total rainfall was 0.00 inches. It
was the most pleasant Indian
summer ever experienced in these
parts. It was the driest September
in Western Washington. Some
people even went swimming.
In October the heavenly
floodgates opened again to
discharge 13.77 inches of rain.
This was about 14 times more
rain than we had in October,
1974. This was followed up by
1.80 inches of rain in November.
December started out with
almost four inches of rain in the
first three days. If everything
comes down as expected, we'll
wind up the year with a new
short-term record of 70 or more
inches of rain on the North Shore.
We will ask Mr. Waite for a
year-end report.

tires, we made it back home
without a skid though others were
not so fortunate.
It is difficult to appreciate the
pure beauty of a snowy landscape
when driving a car through it. We
think that snow should fall only
on weekends when people could
stay home and appreciate it. Since
it's hard to make bargains with
the weather, we think that the
authorities could declare holiday
weekends whenever it snows -
something on the order as
changing holidays to appropriate
Mondays. In areas of little
snowfall it would be a great saving
in life and limb and adults would
recapture their childhood love for
the chilly white stuff.
Our last two calico
mousetraps have left us to
become caretakers of a barn near
Puyallup. AI and Edith Thomas,
North Shore, picked up the
kittens and took them to their
daughter and son-in-law, Jerry
and Sue Buck, who are the
owners of Wildwood Acres
Quarterhorse Ranch. The kittens,
now christened Puss and Boots,
are doing well in their new
position.
The pink bundle that arrived
for Mary and Bill Landram at
Beard's Cove Nov. 23 was
expected by the prospective
father to be a blue bundle. Little
Angela Marie has been accepted
with love and joy by all
concerned. Paternal grandmother,
Kathy Landram, is especially
pleased. With six sons, a
granddaughter is a great
satisfaction.
