Just checking in here from Northern California , Michel.
High thirties (F) at night, low sixties daytime, sunny, very breezy, preceded by an inch or two of blessed rain, 2 feet of snow in the mountains..
Much drum beating for a wet "El Nino" winter this year to break our historic drought. A kayak paddle was all I could manage last week..

I hope you will get a lot of rain and snow. Your beautiful region deserves a break.

Rain in the forecast for next week!

Slightly off the subject (my specialty?), but the current cover of " 48 North", a regional sailing monthly for the northwest waters had a watercolor of the topsail schooner "California" reaching past the Point Wilson light near Port Townsend.
It has an Autumn feel that might warm you!!

For other exceptional maritime Northwest scenes, but alas, no small boats:

It was in the mid 70's here for Christmas. It is snowing today (but not like in your video). I think the high will be mid 30's. No polar bears at the marina!!!

It is sunny today here in Montreal but it is minus 18 celcius! We are in luck that there is no wind!
