Indecisive Weather

Thu, 03/01/2007 - 9:24am — Merwyn Haskett
What was with the weather yesterday? First it would be thick and furious snow, then sunny blue skies, then thick and flurious with snow, then all blue and sunshiny again. Back and forth all day long. Could this have been foreshadowing of March coming in like a lion and leaving like a lamb?

 

It reminded me of Sleeping Beauty when the fairies were fighting over the dress being blue or pink.

 

I'm new to this whole Caiman thing but since they're reptiles I can't imagine that their bodies can handle rapid flip-flop changes like that.

Sunny Snow

I've seen sunny rain plenty of times since moving to Olympia, but yesterday I briefly saw snow falling out of a blue sky.  Very strange.

This morning I had a snowy

This morning I had a snowy windshield which needed to be scraped and defrosted, when the driveway, grass and street were all clear.

I've heard secondhand that the temperature's supposed to be up in the 50s on the weekend. We'll see, I guess.

From what I have been able

From what I have been able to piece together, the caimans survive this time of year by huddling in a system of tunnels that include the steam plant at the Fetid Lake of Doom, or FLOD a.k.a. Capitol Lake, and link to the steam tunnels that honeycomb the underground of the TESC campus. I have personally been in the Evergroove steam tunnels and can attest to their caiman-friendly conditions.

...caiman-friendly?

I am compelled to report that the individual responsible for the initial arrival of scaly monsters to our fair (though polluted) FLOD does not need to "piece" anything "together", as he gets reports direct from the toothy mouths of the monsters themselves.
