i hope they get plenty of snow this winter on the
mountains.

It rained for three days last week here in
Northern Nevada, so CA should have got
a bunch. The mountains (Sierras) now have
snow on them. And it is 75F outside today.

Most of our nearby reservoirs, three, are all full, it rained upstream
several times recently. Unfortunately we are only getting sprinkles
occasionally so we have to water the vegetable gardens and the fruit
trees with a hose frequently.

The Houston, TX area is nearly always getting regular rain, this year
has been an anomaly. Two previous years we got at least two or three
eighteen inch rains and several folks dumb enough to drive off into an
underpass died.
