Come on El Nino make SO CAL your beotchhhh LOL!
Last good snow up there was in 2010. Epic snow is needed.
I drive thru there tomorrow going home from Sacramento. I will post a pic. Right now, I am sitting near waves and beach in Lihue.
Fixin’ to rain in the SF Bay Area right now.
Car washed in last week=rain
Car not washed in the last week=No rain.
Now where is my grant check from the government?
Flooding in the Salem, Oregon, area because of all the rain that we are getting. Complete farm fields are underwater.
Why would someone name their website after the notorious domestic terrorist organization from the 1960’s?
I rented a 4WD Explorer and drove down the Donner Pass from Reno in snow a few years ago.
Semis and trucks were pulled over, putting on chains. Cars weren’t allowed on the highway for a couple of days.
A friend has a house up in the Truckee area that he rents out. The last few seasons they typically got weekend renters during ski season. He told me today that weekend renters who have booked his house are now calling and asking to rent the entire week after their weekend. He’s ecstatic. C’mon rain and snow.
Just starting to rain here on the San Fran Peninsula right now. Still waiting for the deluge here — it’s mostly been small to moderate storms blowing over pretty quickly every four or five days.
Looks like the drought is over. Now if Calif could just learn how important it is to catch the water in a near desert such as they live in instead of letting the tree huggers win the day.
Here’s a really good graphic from the State. This particular one is for Lake Shasta, but you can get the same interactive chart for any of California’s major reservoirs.

Note: you can draw any year’s storage profile using the box containing the year of interest, then clicking on “draw chart.”
Yeah!!
Keep it coming for them and get the snowpack and reservoirs rebuilt.
This next week will see a loot of rainy days along the MS Gulf Coast - I haven’t looked at the source but would assume it’s part of a bigger system wending its way across the mainland.
Just don't get stuck up there in the winter.......
Wow! We’re driving from Salt Lake to Folsom, CA on Tuesday. Probably will stop in Reno and wait out having to put the chains on. Bought a set yesterday in Salt Lake for $40. If you buy them in Truckee they would certainly be $200 or more.
