Gorgeous day today. The rest of the week, not so much. Evidently we have to prepare for snow.

Huhwhat? 🤨 I'll have to look at our forecast now. It's normally been in the low-40s F here at night, with daytime highs in the 50s or 60s, depending. I don't think snow is allowed down here, but I better double-check. 🤔

It's got to be a mistake.
There's no "% chance of snow" in the overlay

Just a spot of rain last night, but it's supposed to whomp us pretty good overnight, starting around 6:00.
The wind has been pretty rude though, the last few days. It makes it feel way colder than it really is. 🥶

We had snow! Last night into this morning; maybe an inch, but it stuck; this rarely happens here at 14' altitude. It's not quite cold enough to do it properly, so it's all melted and raining; 40* outside the back door. I'm spending the day on the couch, crocheting and internetting.

Interesting day today; band after band of rain and/or hail and wind, every few minutes. A good day to crochet on the couch with a cup of tea at hand; I don't think it got above 45*.
Looks like tomorrow is more of the same:

Walnut Creek had some of the heaviest rain I've seen in years... lasted about an hour and then turned to drizzle around noon.

Had a short break and got the dog out for her walk. All the sump pumps are working over time.

Last night got real interesting; a bit of thunder and lightning (rare up here) followed by a very loud hailstorm; it didn't seem to be a lot of hail, but it was coming down very hard.

Yep. We saw a BIG flash, but when I counted off the delay in the thunder, it was about 8 miles away. Our little dog was slightly freaked, but the Greyhound slept through it without a care.

Yeah, Humboldt Bay is backed by some steep hills, so thunder rolls for a very long time. The cat wasn't happy, but she's had cabin fever for awhile; she likes to go in the back yard, catch some rays, and watch the scenery. Not as much fun when it's 43* and raining buckets.

Looks like this Pineapple Express washed most of the snow off Diablo...so do I get the mountain back from all the tourist drivers? I haven't been up there in a long time, can't deal with all the terrible driving that goes on up there. It's bad enough on a normal weekend, I just couldn't do Diablo Snowmaggedon.
