Loads of rain in the northern part of the state


Gee, I feel like I'm living in northern California again! The rains HAVE RETURNED! We haven't had these sort of rains in years. I am hoping that this is a sign that the drought is ending.

The grass is green again and things not seen for several years are back and mushrooms are popping up everywhere once again.

I am hopeful!

How much rain are you seeing in your part of the Golden State?

Drought be damned, I'm staying here and luckily I am about 150 ft. above sea level so a huge tsunami is about all that could drive me away.

Glad to hear those heavy rains pounding away once again!

Still, we're doing OK for now. The rainy season is off to a good start!

Only a few inches last year at this time. Today we are seeing above normal rainfall for November 2016.

The reservoirs are full (have been for some time). Now when will that water bill that has doubled and then some drop back down to a reasonable level so one can bathe and wash their clothes more often again?

and the grasses have been able to establish themselves in the burn areas with minimal erosion. When the pineapple expresses arrive in the spring, the slide and mud damage should be at a minimum.

For water is already full. I love how green it is here.

I love listening to the rain on the roof.
