It's Raining! Yes!

[Wandering Sagebrush]

Thunder woke me up at 4:00 AM this morning. It's raining! I'm normally whining about too much rain, but not this morning! The forecast calls for nearly an inch, and we need it!

It smells like rain here but no clouds overhead. Radar shows a band of rain to the north.

I rode my bike in this morning and the sunrise was a very bright beautiful red. I got to thinking about the old saying "red skies in the morning sailors take warning".... let's see if it holds true or not. Unfortunately, I think the rain is going to stay to the north of us....

It sure feels like rain here with the clouds and all, but we also have a high wind warning, chance of rain (20%) and a higher than usual fire watch-go figure, They also say a drop in temp. this next week ! More fun in the high desert .

We picked up enough rain to wet down the decks and get me outside to close up the camper windows.
It's a start!

Just making it humid here.

No moisture here on the dry side...but it's getting windy. Dry-and-windy is not what the many wildfires need right now....hope the rains come this way.

 

[ski3pin]

If there was any it went to the north. Nice build over the crest right now.

 

[Wandering Sagebrush]

It has left us, now. Lots of wind, no rain.

Rain, great.

Wind, not great.

Power blew out up here in Canada, almost 1/4 million people without power. We lost ours for 10 hours. Lots of trees with dry roots falling over onto lines!

 

[Wandering Sagebrush]

The rain is finally here. A little behind predictions, but it's here. I hope the fire areas are getting rain, too.

 

[MarkBC]

It's not raining here yet, but the forecast suggests it's coming, and it sure doesn't look like summer outside -- dark and gray in the morning.

What's this"rain" stuff I've been hearing about? Here in SoCal we've never heard of such a thing.

Thanks Ski.Now we can play that u-tube video this winter.
We are having some really hot temps with high humidity here in the Monterey area.
Not used to it though.
It to shall pass,and maybe some rain someday.

Just enough in Sebastopol today to make it smell wet. Hope they're getting more over in Lake County on the Valley fire.

I had checked the Lassen NP site earlier and they actually had some snow . Enough to close the summit road for a while.
Wow maybe it is real.

Light rain again here as this small front moves through. We'll sleep with the bedroom window open above our heads. The Lady has the house smelling of baking chocolate chip cookies now.

 

[craig333]

I could hear it on the awning and feel it on my face but it still wasn't enough to wet the roads.

I went outside this afternoon, and just put my face up to the sky with a big smile on my face. Then my client from Oregon said, "You call this rain?" And then he put his hat on.
