Ian:

I agree with Daniel. Mild conditions seem to have encouraged a few more
than average. We had 3 on the Sequim-Dungeness CBC, a record (our previous
high was 2), and I had one in my Samish Flats territory for the Padilla Bay
CBC Dec. 28, although I guess they've had them a number of times previously.
