My local weather guys do a good job locally but don't even cover Socal well.
Cleared a foot of snow. It is still coming down. Power is out, living on the generator. Expect internet to go out within an hour or so...........ski3pin said:Today is the "big dump" day of this storm cycle. Woke to 9" of new this morning and more is coming down hard. Yesterday morning clearing was 5".
.......and the sound of a chain saw in the distance - trees and branches down.
Your stream is lovely! And I am glad to hear you have stayed high and dry.Casa Escarlata Robles Too said:So far the storms since Christmas have dumped about 8" of rain at our house.
We have haven't had any problems thankfully.
I build a "decorative stream/drainage"area 45 years ago.It safely diverts
the rain water around to the side yard and down the hill into green space.

this is what 3 - 7 inches of snow looks like. It's that new math stuff

the dreaded berm was not as bad as it could be
sirens, paramedic, chp - after several days of closure 395 was open for just about 24 hours before someone rear-ended a snow blower just south of Bridgeport - and people wonder why they close the roads?
New math indeed! Our forecast was for 2 - 4". We got 14".teledork said:<snip>

Seems like usually, in central Oregon, the TV weather guy will say: "..forecast for up to 10 inches of snow overnight!", which means we'll actually get 4 - 6 inches.ski3pin said:New math indeed! Our forecast was for 2 - 4". We got 14".

PG&E: "What is this 'embarrassed' of which you speak?"ski3pin said:So, our electric utility, PG&E, has spent millions and millions of dollars clearing around power lines for fire safety. You don't want a tree or branches coming down on lines and stating a fire. Millions and millions of dollars. I should say that again, millions and millions of dollars. We get a larger snow storm and the power goes out because a tree or branches has taken out power lines. Don't you think they should be embarrassed?
That after millions and millions of dollars spent over many many years, trees and branches still remain that can take out power lines.AWG_Pics said:PG&E: "What is this 'embarrassed' of which you speak?"
Hmmm. I worked for PG&E (Pacific Graft and Extortion?!) from '79-'82 as my first job out of college. The project was supposed to cost $700 million, but somehow (don't ask), it took a bunch of extra years and ballooned to $5 billion. My numbers are probably off, but are ballpark.ski3pin said:PG&E, has spent millions and millions of dollars clearing around power lines for fire safety.
