The weather started changing yesterday so it went down about 20 degrees since yesterday from mid 80s to 64 today. We drove up the mountain on Everitt Memorial highway up Mt. Shasta and some people were walking through the rock medicine wheel beating an American Indian Drum which is actually pretty normal if you have ever been to the end of the Everitt memorial highway where the old Ski lifts destroyed by an Avalanche used to be up to about 1970. So, I noticed it was raining on the weather radar as far away as Eureka on the coast. It must be a big Pineapple express or something from the tropics because my wife says it should be raining in Santa Barbara and San Diego by Monday. The clouds around Mt. Shasta are solid rain clouds now but it is so dry here it hasn't started raining yet. Likely the drops are drying up first as they try to come out of the clouds. My wife today got a static electricity shock getting out of the car to show you just how dry it is still here even with rain clouds in the skies. From the top of Everitt Memorial Highway up Mt. Shasta we could see it raining on the Eddies (a mountain range to the West of Mt. Shasta the other side of Interstate 5 near Lake Siskiyou.)
So, tonight likely it will begin to rain here too which is great because the fires might be either dampened or put out entirely if we are lucky by the rains now. Which should be good for everyone here in California or Southern Oregon.
