Northwest Rain

Any word on when they are comming out with the amfibprius? :lol: :lol:

 

It should be diverted to the S-E of England where reservoirs (especially in Kent) are said to have only 36% of average January level. Around here there has been virtually no rain at all in January. And no snow.

 

I read a coupla days ago that we'll have another fairly strong El Nino this year.

 

Yes, agree the NW is getting considerably more rain this year. I'm a bit concerned when yesterday I noticed a great number of animals travelling in pairs heading for the local shipyard.

We are breaking all records 111 days with out any rain! very very dry!


after the great year of rain last year, this is really bad.

 

we're finally not under water restrictions any more... had a serious drought this year.

i'm glad that big truck is very far away from me.

 

drizzling down there I take it? Ya same here but it's going horizontally as it's a bit breeze as well.

 

I was amused by the 'prius in rain- didn't melt' that somebody posted awhile ago. My car has about 1500 miles on it, and it hasn't been driven OUT of the rain yet!

 

Mine has never had a drop on it

 

you don't live on the wet coast I can tell by that! otherwise the 12 volt battery would be stone dead from sitting for the last month!

 

That was my main transport for 5 months waiting for the prius.

Only 98 hp, 62 mph max. But each axle locks individually it will go anywhere.

Great for the wet areas 28 inch water clearence.

 

Yep, the rain has been crazy so far this year. Now to add to the fun, we have heavy winds today.

 

well that's an intimidating vehicle as well... but i was referring to that jacked-up scary thing that literally run over my prius that dave posted!

 

I hate it when it rains sideways! Lost a bunch of limbs but no trees. The power is on and we are ready to win the Superbowl. It was not quite up to the Inauguration Day standard, or even close to the Hurricane force winds of the 62 Columbus day storm, but a few gusts got into the Hurricane level but not sustained. My best high milage route to work has water over the road to about 4" depth at one point. It is right at the bottom of a perfect glide hill I can get 3/4 of the up the other side before I have to touch the gas. Now I have to slow down and waste all that inertia. The moss and mold is doing very well and I for one could use a few days of dry weather.

 

AUstralia has a similar problem. I have friends in teh Sydney area and everone their is very worried about their continued drought.

 

No, it's driven daily, in the rain. I said not driven out OF the rain, not out IN the rain!
