Let it Rain!!!

We had almost a foot of snow in November in small increments, but December brought in a Pineapple Express that gave us 18 1/2 inches of rain in the first ten days of the month with half of that in the first three days!  That took care of any snow we had on the ground around the lodge!

Snow view from the lodge.

Documenting Thelma and Louise's first snow!

December 1 rainfall was over 4"!

Sadie Creek on day two of the monsoon after almost 8" of rain.  I've included my left index finger for scale!

Baranof Falls after 8" of rain in two days!

Here is a short video of the falls after the first few days of rain.  A friend who was on his boat at the dock estimated the current there at 6 knots!  The current actually swamped his skiff and pinned it under the dock.  He was finally able to get it out at low tide when the current was directed away from the dock.  (This is the first time I've posted a video, so I hope it loads OK!)
