The radar shows a quite a bit of precip in Northern Calif.

I'd think there'd be enough hot air on this site to get you buds open, Leslie Hilarious!

I'm not sure I'd call it rain... It's a steady, heavy mist... Wait just a minute... we're up to a light rain now..
I have a theory that if California gets heavy rain early, we have a dry winter.

It's raining a lot up here. Drove to the next big town, Ukiah, about 45 minutes away, and there was a lot of rain on the winding road there. Small boulders falling off the hills. We're having Weather!

I'm just thankful it isn't the kind of weather that the east coast is getting, Bonnie. Those poor folks keep having to dig out from under banks of snow.

Interesting that you're getting a lot of rain, and we're not, Jan.. The weather radar last night showed the system coming from the Southwest. I forgot to empty the rain gauge, so I'm not sure how much we've gotten... but not much.. It was dry enough for me to be out digging.. soil was just wet about the top quarter inch. Just enough wet to make people run into, and off of things on the mountain roads here. Every year, it's the same....

I don't know what the inches are yet, Sherry - and the rain's fairly intermittent, but the ground is soaked.
We have a long way to go though to make up for the drought!
Take care driving, m'dear!

It must seem nice to finally get some rain there. Just so you don't get too much at once and have mud slides.

We were only getting light rain here, not even enough to get mud on your shoes.

I hope we get a lot of rain this year, but as Tom said....not all at once.

So if I do another commando dance and it causes a lot of rain...it will bring a new meaning to a flash flood.

Rain coming early next week. As long that it is not 5 ft of snow like upstate NY.
