It's been raining here since yesterday...about noon. My rain gauge is already showing 3.5 inches, and it may be 9 or 10PM before this front clears the area. We've been in a moderate drought, so this should bring us closer to normal....at least it's just a slow/steady rain...no storms.
 
Typical for the Calif Sacramento Valley, we're having very warm days, chilly evenings, and cold nights.

Keeping windows open and the AC set at 73, but we have to adjust it almost every day. Always a time of day when it either feels too warm or too chilly. Still my favorite time of year, though.
 
8C, but warm due to high humidity .. fog expected to roll in overnight.
Speaking of which - almost every morning (very early) there has been fog lately. It's cool to see.
 
how does anyone need snow ?
Our water supply is mostly snow melt from the mountains. It is caught in reservoirs that feed our irrigation and drinking water. Without it we'd dry up and blow away.

Most of our precipitation is in winter, snow, and mostly in the mountains. The summers here are very dry, when we do get the occasional summer rain it never makes it to the streams or reservoirs.

We have had a number of consecutive dry winters, below average snow. The result is our reservoirs are at record lows. We really need snow to have any hope of relieving our drought. According to tree ring records we are in the worst drought in over 500 years...

We live in a desert, people and agriculture here are only made possible by catching the winter snows...
 
This is us this morning.. after the torrential rain last night...
