Up in NorCal we're getting the rain, but it's a warm rain (in the 50s), which means the snow elevation is still really, really high (like 8000+ feet, or some such). The rain is good, but to turn it into snowpack, which is a big part of our water supply for the year, we really need colder weather. Sigh.

You guys don't really have any reservoirs at elevation that benefit from the snowpack, right? From living/being up there, I don't really recall anything around the Bay Area higher than maybe 3000 ft... So hopefully the clouds will carry some snow eastward all the way to the Sierras...

Down here we don't have much of anything in Orange County (highest peak is something like 4400 ft), but north of LA and San Bernardino counties we've got a lot of stuff from 5000-9000 ft or so. I believe some of those drain into lakes which feed our water supply. Hoping it'll be cold enough here that when it dumps on that area, it's snow.

The rain is getting to Tahoe / the Sierra in NorCal, but it's too warm to create snow for most of it. We do have some reservoirs that benefit from the rain, but snowpack would be much better.

Gonna be fun to have 11 people inside our tiny house on Thursday, 18 people inside BIL's tiny house on Friday, and then 23 people inside our tine house again on Saturday... Especially since the Christmas tree replaces seating in the living room.


Wait, you celebrate Christmas, but not Easter? 

Make up your mind. :111:

The Easter Bunny isn't exactly Biblical either. Nor the Easter eggs. 

Both have secular versions of the holiday, where the religious aspects can be excluded.

Easter screws with kids' minds. 

Jesus came back to life!  Go look for some eggs.  I guess a bunny hid them.  Dress nicely.  We won't be back to church until Christmas.

None of this makes sense.
