Related: About this forumThree days, 7.68" of rain (2013 TOTAL: 6.74")
South Central Napa County. North Napa County received as much as 10" in parts.
Flowers in the yard are going nuts -- it's as if someone threw a "grow" switch. Big help for Napa Valley's grape vines too. Spring rain gets bud break and shoot growth off to a good start.
Drop in the bucket, I know. But it sure felt nice.

It would be wonderful to receive rainfall in amounts that wouldn't cause flooding, erosion or slides, yet build the ideal Sierra snow pack.
