Tut tut - looks like rain!
Monday, April 14, 2008
Hoping for the best, planning for the worst. Weather forecasts here in Washington change from day to day, minute to minute. So this means that until Saturday afternoon, I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to see if I am going to have to put all my contingency plans into action.
I'm one of those people that likes to plan for all possibilities. I take my kids to the beach... I have everything under the sun that we might need or want while there. Sometimes this means transporting unnecessary things. I'm sure Saturday will be no different. We found a screen for my canopy for a little protection. If need be, and the weather gets crazy (not out of the questions...and very likely), I have three tarps for each side. Yes, tacky... but I can't risk my things getting wet. They are washable... but I still prefer they remain crisp and new for their new owners.
King 5 is currently reporting that it will be partly cloudy (a little sun) and around 60 degrees. That would be the ideal day for me. This is why I'm fairly certain that is the exact opposite of what will happen. KOMO 4 is reporting scattered showers and high 40s. This is much closer to what will probably occur. Q13 reports that it will be breezy and in the high 40s. This scares me. I don't like the word breezy... especially when you are out in the open. Winds here get COLD!
Okay, so those are the reports so far. Which one do you think will be right? I'm betting on Q13, but am telling myself it'll be more like KOMO 4... and dreaming it will be like KING 5.

Aack! Having done shows in the rain before, bring a blanket that will keep you warm even when damp, some extra socks, gloves (I like my fingerless ones) and dry clothes to change into when you head home. I've worked in the cold and in the rain and it isn't fun, but it is do-able.
If you can find someone selling tea/coffee/hot chocolate and bring a thermal mug, that will help too.
