And you're still living in Southern California.

It’s all perspective. I have friends that think that Southern California starts at th Tehema/Glenn County Line.

Happy Friday all! It looks like we will be drying out for a day or two up here. We have gotten just under 3” at the house this week. A good time to be evaluating roadside drainage systems for work..

No rain in our forecast until Monday, and then it is only light rain. Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.

Even though we're all in North California, it's interesting to see the differences in the rain. Modoc's seen 3" of rain this week, we've seen about 1/10 of that (0.3"). Jim doesn't expect rain until Monday, and we're expecting rain tonight through Monday. Of course, California is not a small place, relatively speaking.

Well, they have taken rain out of the forecast for Monday. Stating "partly sunny" now.

Would you believe that my first college roommate thought that I was from Santa Barbara when I said that I was from Northern California?

After High School I moved to Coeur d'Alene, Id. And made some friends, one evening guy to talking about California, I told them I had been to Southern California lots of times when visiting my uncle that lived in Belmont. To me as a kid that was southern California. I grew up in Westwood up by Mount Lassen.

We got a little rain in San Francisco. But not enough to rinse the scum off the sidewalk. I'm starting to get pretty good making tortillas by hand. Ran out of things to do while sitting at home. Now eating a lot of tortillas and waiting to gain weight. Tortillas and eggs. Tortilla soup. Even tortilla with butter, sugar, and cinnamon as a replacement for Ikea cinnamon buns.

I have not changed my at home routine much, except to play more computer games. I did that before the pandemic, and just keep on doing it now.

It feels a little like Groundhog day, and I'm Bill Murray. We got a little over 1/3" rain yesterday, and a little under 1/3" today. So 2/3" for both days.

We got some rain last night. I have no idea how much I slept through it. I just saw that the ground was wet when I woke up so I know it rained. LOL

I must be the groundhog. This appears all too familiar. Like Deja Vu. The market went down like - no analogy needed, it went down. Prices for stocks were at the bottom. I didn't have any money to buy. Then the market went up. Millionaires were made. I missed that boat. Just like I am missing this boat.

Jim, get a rain gauge.
