Praying for rain
« on: August 08, 2012, 05:30:04 PM »
I thought I would be the first to start this post this year. I'm really hoping to avoid the mess of last seasons early archery fire closures!

Forecast looks OK so far as theres been low clouds hanging around over most of Western WA until the early afternoons. Hope we get a couple days of good rains before Sept.

I guess only hunters and fishermen would ever pray for rain in the Pacific NW.  :chuckle:

 :yeah:  Rain, but no lightning.  Forecast is for another couple of weeks of hot dry weather.  Typical for the eastside this time of year!  :'(

I'm doing the rain dance as well. The early part of summer was the wettest I can remember but it's been warm and dry with a few hot days, I'd say it's not good. Really hoping for some good rain soon!

If we get no rain in the next 2.5 weeks, they will shut down the timber lands right before Labor Day weekend.  That is my prediction.

I will be on my knees praying. Last year on the east side was just a couple degrees shy of 100 until the last 3 days. Too HOT

Don't want a repeat of last season where we were shut out for most of the early season. Come on cool weather and some rain, Oregon just upgraded thier fire danger restrictions. I am sure WEYCO is close to putting up the big red signs. Oh wait that doesn't happen till Labor day since season is a few days later.

This is exactly why I am hunting the eastside for elk this year
I dont think they will shutdown the Taneum

We have already started the rain dance in the north east. It is going to be hot.

Please Oh Lord, let it rain on our blessed heads so we can send Elk and Deer souls to your heavens.  Amen!
