What El  Nino events?  (He said, from a particularly central coast  
perspective.)  We've got/had rain, but NOWHERE NEAR what we were afraid  we'd get.  
We look at the sky and say, Scare us! Dammit!  Hell,  we've got high 70s 
temps again.>>>>>>
 
 
I was wondering about that.  It appears that the Pacific Northwest  is
getting the usual rains, but they don't extend beyond Northern  California.
 
I do hope that the Sierras at least get enough snow for the start  of the
warm season.  It was so bad there that they were wondering  whether
the "Big Trees" (Sequiadendron giganteum) would pull through.
I think the Coastal Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) were in 
better shape.  They derive a lot of moisture from fog anyway.
 
 
David Strang - who emptied the rain gage from the storm a week
ago.  We had 3.2" of wet stuff (rain), and fortunately not white  stuff.
