Rain in California

When I came back from the incident I reported earlier I decided to take a nap because I didn't get enough sleep last night and soon I heard raindrops hitting the skylight above my head in my bedroom. So, there is definitely some rain hitting between San Francisco and Los Angeles right now. Later I decided to check a California Radar weather site and sure enough counter clockwise spin of a storm system making California weather very strange and warm and hot and sometimes wet and humid too and also being about 20 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year too. I think we need to expect a pretty serious El Nino the way this presently looks to be shaping up.

It had been 20 degrees colder in general the last week or two now and mostly cloudy. But, I live at the ocean where high or low fog is often common for days or even weeks at a time. So, I was surprised when it started raining yesterday and my wife brought the dogs inside to feed them as normally they eat outside once in the morning and at about 5pm at night. It proceeded to rain off and on all night and into the morning and even after I was going to walk my dogs in the late afternoon it was suddenly wet outside once again. So, I got my emergency  Green plastic rubber jacket with a hood for working in weather emergencies or walking the dogs in the rain out and popped it into my truck so I would have it on my walk with the dogs in case I needed it.

As I just pulled up a radar weather map in action for the western United States I noticed that there is some snow coming down near Mt. Shasta, in Nevada, Utah, Montana, and North and South Dakota right now going  on. There are still a few rain clouds coming into northern California off the ocean as well even now. For us, this is the first significant rain of the season.
