I’m in the process of charging up all of my various batteries, just in case we lose power for a few hours tomorrow.
As Judge Smails (Ted Knight) said in Caddyshack, “Well, we’re waiting!” Very little rain here most of the week, despite the supposed storm door being open. I’m very disappointed with the weather guessers. They should be fined when they get it wrong (or only partly right).
They may not know what the weather will be tomorrow but they can tell you exactly what it will be 20 years from today….supposedly.

Anyone can get Pete Giddings out of retirement ? he was more accurate with just a still satellite picture back in the 70s ! so much for the computer analyst crap these days. Ha ! oh 1 more thing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its a go do it weekend.
I happy to see any rain.
Right now, 7:51 AM
The barometer is 29.62.
More rain predicted
My old broken bones ache
I think we’ll get more rain today
It’s welcome.
So far a nice soaker rain. Not quite the gully washer that has been talked about – at least not where I am.
Okay, now I’m happy! I expected this level of intensity earlier in the week, but I’ll settle for what we’re getting. I’ve collected over 500 gallons of rainwater for my vegetable garden next year. Add my use of recycled water on the lawn and I’m feeling pretty good. If the storm lasts longer, the groundwater table could get a decent recharging. The only other issue will be a decent snow pack. Fingers crossed.
Folks in contra costa county can thank me as I was ‘thinking’ of washing my car today.
You’re welcome.
