Wettest year ever?

[Gordon Kumpuris]

8 days left for rain to make this the wettest year on record. I think I heard the weather "talent" Ned Buckner-Mitchell-Brant say that this is the 3rd wettest year so far if we get no more rain with about 3 inches required to make it the wettest year ever. I say we'll get to # 2 but # 1 aint gonna happen. I assume they are talking about records kept at the LR weather center by the way.

I think this event may push us over the old record. This event is going to last through Thursday for sure and with what has already fallen and the way it is setting up I think we're in for a record breaker!

And to boot, for those able it'll likely be a Merry Creekin' Christmas on the Cossatot on Christmas Day.

Not positive but I think Jesus is probably an open boater.

Not sure if Jesus is an open boater or a decked boater, but, either way, I'll bet he has a bombproof roll!

Merry Christmas everyone!
