America's Rainiest City?
Ketchikan, Alaska is known for two things: salmon and rain. I know this well as I have been here several times visiting family. The combination of wind and rain often makes it feel like you are living in a car wash. Ketchikan, which is located on the inland passage in southeast Alaska, has fully embraced it's status at the Rain City . It proudly displays a "liquid sunshine gauge" on the boat dock showing just how wet it is. A closeup shows that they claim an average rainfall of 12.5 ft (150") per year. That's a lot of rain and, perhaps not surprisingly, Ketchikan is widely promoted as the rainiest city in America (e.g., destimationalaska.com ). Being a meteorologist, I began to wonder if this was really the case. There are the usual challenges in evaluating such a claim. What is meant by a city? What is the period of record? Is the data reliable? Etc... For the purposes of this post, we'll concentrate on clima...
Lots of backing soda. Before use just brush it out.
ReplyDeleteWe had some boots which had a bad time with some mice in a Munich basement storage area.
ReplyDeleteWe actually washed them in a mild laundry detergent, and rinsed multiple times, then dried in the sun.
Helped lots. Used them another 5 seasons.
There is some stuff called "odor eaters" for shoes. Who knows. If nothing works, you might just have to avoid skiing with that friend.
