I think you made it happen, hawaiideborah, through enlightened self-actualization! You insisted there be sun, and there has been, starting with Christmas Day! Whoo-hoo. What a gorgeous day it was. My first Christmas in Puna.

Yes, Mindy is here! And what a difference she has made! She gets me up and out in the morning. I was so glad that the first night in her new home was dry weather-wise so that she could pee in her little yard without getting pelted with rain. She loves all the new smells, which makes the walks slow-going. Invite yourselves down sometime.

Just bringing this forward, as there was a lot of question on how the 2011 year would end... & as was noted, 2011 had been a very dry year prior to the rains.
Even with the late season rains, almost all locations ended up well below the average rainfall (One west side rain gauge at Ahumoa had 141% of ave rainfall, but that was only 29.99 in for 2011....& Kawainaui Stream gauge was at 109%, at 147.15in.... all other gauges were below average, Pahoa was at 75% of ave, Glenwood at 64%.....)

It's online here, scroll down to Hawaii Island and it has links to both the monthly and year-to-date summaries:

75% only? It seemed like it would be so much higher! I guess this is what low rainfall years do - make us forget what 100% is like!
