There's Always The Weather

[Arab Nights (imported)]

Last week monsoon rain. This week it is time to crank up the heater after last night's 50+ mph winds.

Got a whole 1mm of rain last night.

Okay, maybe just 0.9mm.

The air is cool, fresh and cloudful.

The most normal October in recent history

I always liked October until the last few years when

October became Santa Ana Wind and so dry

In Sacramento, CA for a conference. This is supposed to be a historic storm blowing thru. Equivalent to a cat 3 hurricane. The wind is really howling outside the hotel window.

Get suspenders for your skivvies, Ernie. This storm will blow your shorts off.

J in Santa Rosa, please look at message. Thx.

We're further west, closer to the coast, than Arab Nights. It's really storming here. The weather-guessers are predicting up to 8 inches of rain, together with the high winds of up to 60 mph. The little creek that runs behind our house has gone from about the flow of a kitchen faucet to a roaring river. I've watched three trees and a 55-gallon drum rushing downstream already, along with lots of other debris. Peak flow won't be for hours yet.

The major part of the storm is supposed to blow past by noon tomorrow, with clearing by Tuesday mid-morning. My wife and I are looking forward to a visit from Arab Nights on Wednesday, when there's supposed to be sun.

But the storm won't be all bad news.

"This rainfall is coming about a month ahead of average and will be very welcome in fighting the remaining fires, particularly in Northern California," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter said. "Repeated storms delivering such copious rainfall will have a major effect on the wildfire season - effectively ending the wildfire season from Northern California northward," Porter added.

Wildfires have burned 1.9 million acres in California in 2021, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Eight out of the 17 massive fires burning in the United States were all raging in California, as of Thursday.

Here's a short view of the creek that runs along the back of our property. The video is or a place about a quarter mile upstream from the house. Two days ago the flow was about that of a kitchen faucet. You had to look hard to see any flow at all.

@Arab Nights

@Jesus

The STORM didn't make it so weatherful in The O.C.

0.2" by my measurement although 0.3" often reported.

Hardly the stuff of landslides of Laguna Beach homes & roads.

No terrible wind. <sigh>

I guess I should be thankful "Moi" fresh water reservoirs up north

got some H2O. Lake Tahoe rose to its' historical rim.

hoping for a more weatherful experience

FOG

I haven't witnessed such fog for ages.

Visibility limited to a few hundred feet

Previous October / November have been

Santa Ana Winds, heat, low humidity.

Harbinger of future rain?

This is a climate change from years past.

FOG is a distant memory - it seems.

Moi survived the Santa Ana Wind

A noisy one night and so dry.

On the + side the airport, John Wayne Manifest Destiny SNO
