What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

What is he talking about? If he means the calendar year to date, which is what he plotted in his previous post, we have been above normal since early spring and are now approaching normal from above. If he means calendar year to Dec 31, we are still way below that (by about 15" in Seattle). If he means the 2022 water year, which ended on Sept 30, at Stevens we were above normal for year by June 10th. If he means current water year which started Oct 1, we are already well below normal (by about 6" at Stevens) and are unlikely tocatch up in a few days.

What is he talking about? |
I think it is clear from the blog post. In both words and pictures, he is talking about the calendar year up until now.
I find it interesting, as it shows a few things. Even though our summer and early autumn was very dry, we usually don't get that much rain then anyway. From a statistical standpoint, you can interpret this either way. If you look at that period, there is dramatic difference. I have no idea what the percentage is, but it has to extremely small (10% of the normal rain?). But when you back up, this incredibly dry summer and early fall just barely makes up for a somewhat wet Spring. Basically, at the start of summer we had about 25 inches of rain for the year, instead of the usual 20. Then we had practically nothing until mid-October, even though we usually have around 5 inches. It came very close to balancing out just as we entered this current wet period.
More than anything, it has been a year of on or off. Back in the spring, a lot of folks here were wondering if the rain would ever stop. Then it did, for practically the entire summer and into early autumn. Then folks wondered if it would ever rain again, and clearly, it has. Now, I guess, the thing to hope for is little more variety -- not so extreme, please

Seems like GFS and ECMWF have converged on 5' of new snow in parts of the North Cascades over the next 10 days. Can't complain about that!

According to a graph from his latest post, technically Seatac dropped below normal for like a day or two this month before the rains came.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

You mean I might actually get a chance to finish out this wall before year's end?
