Most of the pics show a lot of white (snow), so that is encouraging. Let's hope for a wetter spring than our winter!

ok. this isn't funny anymore, not that it ever was. We've got 4:-8" of rain since Friday in the Sonoma county area: http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20 ... /140209571" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm really ready for it to stop for a bit to let the ground soak it up before my pasture washes away. The french drains are working overtime. Had another 1/2" per hour in the last hour. I've been out a couple times just to clear anything that might impede its downhill journey. The Russian river went from 120 cfs to somewhere above 7300 cfs. A 6-7' rise. We do need the rain, but not like this.

I would prefer if this was directed squarely at the Sierra for some snow.
