Measurable rain and no officials saw it coming.



It just appeared.

From around 9 PM to 1 AM there has been precipitation starting as drizzle and then intermittent light rains began.

I do believe we may have gotten a whole 0.2 inches. My coastal redwood is happy too.

The temperature jumped 20 F in less than a day.

From 70F to 90F. Hot ! Hot ! Hot !

It rarely gets up to 90F here under any circumstances.

Moi helps and so does A/C

Definitely strange weather! Friday we got a fair rain (we're now up to ALMOST half of our average season-to-date). The temperature made it all the way up to the high 40s. Overnight there was frost in low-lying areas. Today hit 92°F here with tomorrow expected to be much warmer. The average for this season is a high of 72°F.

It was overcast today only 83 I can't wait for summer.

It's going to be 56F here today, with the storm system looping back around for another pass.

Is that shuttle to Mercury ready to go yet?

Interesting events may occur when some life form destabilizes a metastable process?

Possible definitions:

events = weather patterns

some life form = humans

destabilize = unwitting fossil-fuel use

metastable process = local weather

Hot Wind Driven Fire with evacuations at Rancho Cucamonga.

It has been good for my boysenberry patch as the berries do ripen faster in warm/hot weather. Yum

Years ago, work asked me to calculate the size of a gigaton. It would take 18 inches of rain or water over every square foot of Allegheny County in Pennsylvania to reach a gigaton.

I've seen an inch an hour and the storm dissolved. However, I never saw 13 inches in one storm and that wasn't the worst just what they could measure.

It is a coast redwood, Sequoia semervivens not a coastal redwood.

Another Hot Hot Hot Day, although the feeling of dropping temperatures is in the air. Not by the numbers, F.

I have two kinds of Redwood Trees

One from Redwood National Park in Humboldt County that will be the tallest living thing.

One from Sequoia National Park that will be the oldest living thing, as taught in the fifties. Ignore Bristle Cone Pine.

Survival from efforts have been about 3:1 leaving me with one good specimen of each.

The Coastal Redwood looks like it would be a good Christmas Tree, the Sequoia Redwood totally different foliage.
