A couple minutes ago, it was pouring BUCKETS over here on the peninsula. Giant drops! Squalled for about 15 minutes, now stopped and sun poking through. Started raining about midnight and it is supposed to continue until tonight at midnight. YAY!!
Everything is greening up nicely.

It’s normal California winter weather.

Damn global warming!
