We’ve had a very wet winter, with record breaking rain in Bellingham a few days ago. My record of our daily rainfall for CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network) shows that we’ve had a total of 15.35 inches since the first of the year and just eleven days without rain.

This video was taken in mid-afternoon on Feb 16, after a particularly juicy 6-day stretch. Our gauge at the foot of Bowman Mountain showed a total of 6.81 inches for this period. There are no CoCoRaHS stations to the east of us but I think it is safe to assume that rainfall was much heavier in the higher elevations above the South Fork.
