The only good thing about all this snow is the snowpack will be good for the summer.- Brenda

It finally seems to have stabilized with some reasonable temps around these parts. Slightly cool for the season, but not much. A lot of days snowing in the forecast, but mostly incidental if it doesn't keep piling up before we get a warm enough day to melt it all.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
Guess we got too cocky up here and Mother Nature decided to put us in our place.
Just makes matters difficult for me as there is nothing shovelled around where I have to walk and I am out in a bit.

Got more snow today. 
Tired of it and when I got back nothing was cleared or when I left.

Driving was pretty scary on the way to work and almost as bad on the way back. Had 3 call offs last night. That kind of surprised me. I didn't think it was nearly as bad as a few nights earlier this winter when we didn't have any call offs.
I'm assuming at this point that the winter is starting to beat people down. Hope it starts warming up soon.

It probably is. Know it is me.
I saw a car skid part way down a hill early yesterday evening when I was coming back from a late mah jong game. That concerned me.
Though today, Wednesday the sun is out and the snow is melting a little bit. Watched a glob slide off the roof of the house where I am renting.

When you visit the body parts store, let me know if they still have any jawbones in stock. 
Hang in there Brenda. Winter's almost over. :)

Yeah, how about a new spine and right shoulder and knee? And while I'm making a shopping list ... new sinuses, eyes, and immune system?
Well, a girl can dream, can't she?

We are officially one inch over the average rainfall. Yay! The storm that passed thru dropped an impressive three-plus inches of rain over two days at our house, according to my unofficial rain gage. There was enough rainfall to finally make it past the last dam on the San Gabriel River, because up until this last storm the engineers had managed to capture all of the storm water upstream throughout the whole winter. And, we still have about four weeks left in a typical rainy season, so there's a possibility that we might exceed the average rainfall by substantially more than one inch (altho Mother Nature seems to have moved the storm track to our east for the foreseeable future.)
I guess my prediction came true, after all!

Back-east, sis's predicted 8" of snow turned into 5'. Jeez. Yanno, it seems like this might be the one year that there is no "drought" on the UNLV drought monitor. If that's true, that would be unheard-of. I'm going over there to check it out!

Ok, the fickle finger of fate seems to have selected Oregon, of all places, to be our drought-standard bearer. Also, STILL a big blob of drought out by Four Corners and in So Cal, but this map does not take into account this latest storm, which I expect will have changed the CA drought status considerably and also brushed by Four Corners and prolly reduced that somewhat too. Next week.
