Yes, a possibility, like the last two years. However, the rain we have
gotten recently is not above average for the time period, as it was since
2001. The present pattern is more like a typical winter instead of that
bimodal pattern of 2001-02-03.
The upshot is, don't count on January and February to be kind - get out
when the gettin' out is good.
Despite zombie-like exhaustion, I will try to use next Monday/Tuesday to
the best advantage, somewhere.
