Thanks for your concern, Jim.
It calls for "High Wind Warning
the San Francisco Bay Area
9 hours ago �" National Weather Service", and rain for the next three days.
We need the rain but I can do without the high winds.

Just watched the warning on the news. Hope you and Lilo as well as everybody gets enough rain that it makes a difference but nobody gets harmed.

It has not been really bad so far, lots of rain, but not really awful at my place.
Still, traveling is getting pretty dicey, a friend was stuck on the highway for some time, Joann went and fed her animals.Cell-phones sure are an advantage in these situations/
Our area is waiting for high winds and more heavy rain, I am having a dental appointment tomorrow morning @ 9 o'clock, we will call the clinic to find out if staff got there before we set ut.
Power is on so far, that is good.
Ill check in tomorrow morning, if I don't means power went out.

I was trapped in Santa Rosa, CA (55 miles north of San Francisco) for several months in 2012. It rained...pounded, basically...nearly every #$!! day from Halloween through Christmas. Good times, good times.

This rainy season in southern CA will be child's play in comparison.

This rainy season in southern CA will be child's play in comparison.

We'll happily take it!

There were some mud slides during last week's rain, and the likelihood of more goes up with each successive storm.

It's not expected to start here until after midnight, then it should (crossing fingers) be mostly snow. Not that I particularly like snow, but we need it after this long dry spell.

What a storm so far, and it is supposed to continue tomorrow.
We are mostly fine, just some gutter overflow. But the Bay Area is really taking a hit.
Flash flooding all over the place, flooding in several towns, trees falling and about 100k people w/o power,
There is a blizzard in the sierras, that is good news for the snow pack. but bad news for the people who live there, because they can't depend on getting regular food delivery.
Hold on S. Cal. people, do the best you can.

The good news, after the storm. We got a lot of much needed rain. According to a local report, the sierras received more snow from this one storm than all of last year.
The storm has past, but it is still snowing but the roads are passable. They are talking about opening some bunny slopes.

More rain?

Yes Jim, there has been more rain and "they" say it will be more rain. After the nasty storm it has rained off and on for days.
But as lilo said, paraphrasing, it's december and it is raining. Back to normal.

Rain and the snow-level has dropped, not down to my level, but we may be seeing snow on some of the higher peaks. It's cold, I say, though not as cold as other places.
The snow is important, the run-off fills the reservoirs.
Next week the weather guessers say it shall be dry, that is good, so much needs to be done outside.

"They" said it would rain for the next 3 days.
There was a break in the clouds, so I dashed out and bought some xmas things on sale.
It started raining again when I returned home.
When there is a sale, the brave get going.

"Weather permitting" is such a good thing , but there are times when it's not possible, such as Appointments, medical or others, so one just has to brave the elements, only excuse is when the roads are closed because of flooding or snow/ice (yea, Californians are wimps about snow)

lol, I don't want to start a coast to coast feud here, but I think us CA people are a lot braver than the DC people. They close down the whole city if there are more than two snowflakes on the ground. Been there, worked and lived there. Even if I wanted to go to work, I could not get there, everything was stopped.
Go CA people.
