I was about to ask about your pond and all that rain. Hope you stay safe and don't have to deal with slides.

The banks and slopes all have vegetation on them, grass bred to prevent slides and erosion. A pain to mow in spring, but worth it

Great that your slopes stays stabile. Was worried about it.

There is too much rain when it becomes a problem and not a solution. We live in silicon valley and we have big problems because of all the rain. Flash floods, closed roads and streets, fallen trees and the citrus is dropping from the trees and splatter all over,

Bring on the sun.

My oldest lives in West Sacramento. His comment was something about not sure that the sun was still in the sky. He also commented that he thought that he saw Noah floating by.

Not a good situation, more rain in the forecast.

Unlike where I live. Typically, from October through the end of January, the weather folks indicate that we get about 14" (remember, that is 4 months). This past four months we got almost 6". Things are drying and the detention basins are dry.

My lawn service charges me whether they mow or not. During the hot, wet summer, it is every week - now it is once every four weeks and there isn't much happening.

Sigh. what can I say? "BAY AREA, CA -- Rain is forecast for the next six or seven days in the San Francisco Bay Area, and with the rain comes an increased chance of flooding and mudslides, National Weather Service officials said Wednesday".

I'm about 200 mies North of WG and yes, rain from tonight and most of next week is "promised". I am saying enough is enough - it is not cold nd signs of spring are emerging: yellow crocus and the leaved of daffodils and muscari, bud-swell lilac - the shrubs need to be trimmed, so are the roses. Garden-clean up is needed and the hen-house needs to be mucked out - it has not dried out enough between storms to even think about doing any of this.

Tomorrow we start what promises to be the biggest storm in decades. Three to four inches in the Los Angeles basin from mid morning till Saturday afternoon. Should be plenty of flash floods and landslides to go around plus some strong winds will bring soggy trees down. I worked the last big one in February 1979 and got sixty hours of overtime starting on a Thursday night through the middle of the next week. We just cut them so we could move them off the road and a tractor would come later to pick them up.

I just read that this will be a very serious storm, stay safe Don and all Southern Californians.
We will get out share of the rain, but this time not too much. Keep a low profile

All pf you, stay safe and dry.

Lost power, telephone and internet for about an hour plus a big branch broke out of the city tree out front.

How are you guys doing now that it has rained even more?

Right now there is faint sunshine and some patches of blue, but it shall not last. Tomorrow there may be T-storms with hail and then rain/snow mixed and wind. What I desire would be several days of no rain, so things dry enough to do some outside clean-up, but I probably don't get that.

There is a lone daffodil blooming in the middle of a grassy patch

All the rain reminds me of the saying: be careful what you wish for.
