Thread: Guess winter is here

Tweet

We got 1.1 inches of rain yesterday with another inch on the way today. Lake Sonoma is now at 74% capacity(good), and Lake Mendocino is only 48%(bad), important because we get our water from there during the summer. Hopefully this storm will keep on filling them! Our rainfall totals are 10 inches since last July, normal would be 24.5"(the ugly) by now. But the Pineapple express(rain from Hawaii) is helping!

We've been getting some light rain but there's still a good amount of frost in the ground so most of the moisture we are getting just runs off and isn't helping.

At our Monday morning world problem solving conference ( Coffee at the 2nd St. Diner) I was reminded of how last winter finally ended---We had 4" of snow on Tuesday and had to start mowing lawns by the weekend, first weekend of May! This year is starting to look the same, high of 43 today, then snow and windy tonight and tomorrow.....

Yeah, we'll see if we get 5" of snow in May again. I bet it isn't over either. We won't get off that easy.

15th of April----so far today it has warmed up to 19 degrees....Not sure this winter crap is ever going to end!!!!!!

We were 80F on Saturday, about blew away Sunday with lightning & thunder rolling across the plains, and Monday awoke to 30F and snow showers. Today was 26F as the sun was coming up, up to a balmy 37F now.... Springtime in Kansas, lots of variety.

Snow and a high of 35 today. Can't believe I was out working in the yard Sat. with a tee shirt on. Now its back to the karhart

Pretty typical day here in So cal... 8:45 am and right at 66 degrees F. Its been a bit warm this last week but should be cooling to the 80's for the next few weeks. Wish I had weather to talk about like the rest of you. I did stay up and watch the Blood moon last night! How unique is that?

It was 88-90 degrees in Fresno yesterday at my Uncle's Funeral. My black suit is wool, so being a palbearer in the sun caused quite a bit of sweat! Sad to see him go, but it was a beautiful day for him to be interned.

Hey,Steve..Sorry to hear about your loss,mate.. I can well believe your state,,in the heat,,wearing a black suit.. Your own personal mobile sauna..

Well guys,,if it makes you feel any better,,its about 14C here,,and it's raining,,reasonably hard,too.. The first real decent rain for months..in fact,,the Waikato region looks like a dead,brown dustbowl in places,,and a lot of the farmers up there have been reduced to one milking a day,, they have no grass at all.. .. Oh well,,winter is on it's way,I guess..

Sorry for your loss Steve!

April 15th... everyone got your taxes filed? Or are you a procrastinator??? LOL..

I had to drive a couple hours to a project and between the wind gusts and the on and off rain bursts it has been a stressful day so far!

Thanks Guys. He was a character larger than life. A guy who always dominated the conversation and got the last word. He was a good guy and lived his life well.

Prayers for the family. Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a great guy & fun to be around.

Sorry for your loss Steve

Thanks again,back to the weather! In Petaluma a nice 72ish today with blue skies and a light breeze, wish it was raining some more, but if you can't have water, sun is pretty good. I feel sorry for Dave with the top temps in the teens!
