More Rain Notes

The rain has been steady but light. Just had a break in it so went out to get a new reading.
At 11:15 AM we are up to .9 inches.

I can really hear the water flowing fast in the creek - usually there's just a drop of irrigation runoff in it.

Looks like we are going to miss the brunt of it again, but still get some fairly good numbers. The plants are going to love it. Just read a report from Donner Peak of a wind gust at 163 mile per hour! Yikes.

The oak and orange trees here that were burned in the fires have new growth on them. So that's great. What's not so great is all the weeds that are starting to come up. Within the next 2 weeks I'll have to get out there and spray - have to keep the weeds down to keep the fire break in good shape.
