Well,....if you didn’t have that vast estate you could have moved!
I don’t think I can move to FResno without a Mexican Passport...
We’ve had a few dribbles today, we’re on the northern edge of the stream of moisture, I dumped 1 1/2 inches out of the rain guage, an inch or so fell last night,, actually have some clear sky in the area,, not sure if it will stay clear for eclipse tonight.. I’ll probably turn in early anyway.
Rain and snow continues to fall in the Sierra. Highway 395 closed between Lee Vining and Bridgeport due to blizzard conditions and numerous flash flooding on HWY 395 in Inyo County. The Owens Valley is known as “The Land of Little Rain,” normally gets about 5 inches of rain a year. Has been raining for 40 hours straight now.
Rain has really slacked off down here.
Glad you are back. Kick back and relax!
Wow, yes, what a wonderful remembrance for your lost friend.
Keep the squeegie handy!
Time to check what accuweather has ...
