Live Updates: Biggest puddle of the season discovered behind the garage!

In what appears to be the BIGGEST puddle this winter, sources report it's "deeper than a sneaker."

Here’s the latest from our Puddle-cast™

In what meteorologists are calling "the splashiest news day of the year," our neighborhood experienced unprecedented puddle formation following this morning's rainfall. Key developments include:

• the historic triple-puddle merger on Thompson's driveway

• and the controversial behind-garage puddle depth measurements

While sun exposure ultimately led to widespread evaporation by afternoon, expert analysts (including Chief Puddle Inspector Lossy) rated overall splash quality at 9.2/10.

Sources close to the situation suggest this could be the most significant rain event since, well, yesterday (it’s Portland, folks!).

The Information Syndicate weather team remains on high alert for future splashing possibilities. This has been Lu Murs, reporting from slightly damp sneakers.
