Snoqualmie - April 2, 2011

After a week of rain on the snow in the mountains the Snoqualmie River is out of its banks and headed for the falls!

At the top of the falls we could stay dry! The rumbling, tumbling falls were awesome! The mist was soaking and raincoats were essential!

If you campare the falls to the Flat Stanley post below you can see what a difference a week can make.

The clouds were hanging low over Mt. Si, a fresh layer of snow came down to 2000 feet and the water was out of its banks. A fantastic winter scene!

We stopped at the park in Snoqualmie to see the river. Earlier this week the entire park was under water. The raging river washes away the bank.

This is the same spot, same stump... last August when Jason and Olivia were here. Wow!!

Same stump today!

There were clumps of snow floating on the river so the water is mighty cold!!

Back home in our back yard the Heather is blooming!

In the front yard the cherry blossoms are out!

So far today we have had intermittent dark clouds, white clouds, rain, hail, sunshine, blue sky, rainbows and now fog. Crazy weather! I love it!!
