Rainy days, but tomorrow is Easter and the promise of sunshine!
After the Storm
Clearing skies and clouds scudding by, chill from all the snow in the mountains.
Leap Year Day
After a week of sunny days and mostly t-shirt weather we’re back to this:
Chilly and cool at 47.7°F. A storm is slowly making its way down from Alaska, with snowfall forecast as low as 2,000 feet tonight…
After the rain came the fog…
Got a half inch today.
Happy Thanksgiving
From the Mother Lode.
Happy Visitor
One of my neighbor’s cows came down the driveway and set-to munching on the front yard foliage. Apparently the automatic gate has the open/shut interval set too long and that allows a curious bovine the advantage of escape. Eventually Mike the Wrangler came by with a bale of alfalfa in the back of his truck and Bossie followed him out, back to the barn.
Narrow Trough
Monday dawned bright as clouds moving in were lit-up by sunrise.
After the trough moved through we got about a quarter inch of rain on Tuesday, and Wednesday dawned considerably cooler by a good twenty-degrees average daily temp…
Weather Moving Through
Got a teensy bit of rain, about 0.01″ of overnight rain, but from Monday onward it’s heating back up to the 80’s.
Never Forget
Late Summer Reminder of Winter
As the forecast weather-speak states, “The unseasonably strong closed upper low is over northwest California early this morning. Radar shows showers continuing near the low center, and a large band of showers with some embedded thunder covering the northern Sierra in the frontal zone ahead of the low.”
In other news, our fire season has been remarkably quiet with just a few small incidents like this nearby 8-acre blaze that was quickly extinguished with the Hammer of ‘Tardent.
