A My Quality Time Post for Watery Wednesday
One of my favorite places near Lancaster is Clear Creek Metro Park::”Clear Creek Valley is one of the most pristine and secluded natural areas in Central Ohio. Variations of land surfaces, soils and climates have produced a medley of habitats that harbor more than 800 plant species and 150 species of birds, many of them rare.”
Did you know::Record rains: Southern Ohio sites break state precipitation mark set in 1870 in Lake County. (And that was last year)
“The 10 rainiest cities in the U.S. by amount of annual rainfall include:”
- Mobile, Ala.: 67 inches average annual rainfall; 59 average annual rainy days
- Pensacola, Fla.: 65 inches average annual rainfall; 56 average annual rainy days
- New Orleans, La.: 64 inches average annual rainfall; 59 average annual rainy days

A My Quality Time Post for Watery Wednesday for 3-20-2012.. Sunny in Lancaster with a high near 85 degrees.. (short video showing Clear Creek in the winter CLICK )
I am heading there this spring to walk the creek trail. I want to see all the spring blooms along the trail.
ReplyDeletealways amazes me how they get that water to stand up straight and be measured :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pix and the info on rainy cities -- never fails to amaze me that Oregon isn't anywhere on that list... or Seattle. (I've seen similar lists before --- I guess we just get slow steady steady steady rain there, but not the heavy deluges those other cities get).
ReplyDeleteANYWAY... did you actually find a place to link on Watery Wednesday? I wanted to join this week, but the last thing I found there is 2 weeks old. I wonder what happened?
I think you may have had some rain!
ReplyDeleteNice to see some pictures of Ohio again - I did a teacher exchange into a school in Wickliffe a few years ago and I'm keen to come back and explore with a bit more time on my hands!
