Well, either there's something truly hinky about where I place my "rain gage" or this storm overachieved. I just checked the rain gage from a distance and it looks like we got somewhere between 2-3" of rain. Not bad! There is still a little more to the storm so I won't bring in and measure until later, but it looks like a goodly amount.
Altho next time I should place it a little farther from the house. Maybe I'm collecting "rain bounce" off the roof, bc my totals are so often at odds with official gages in the area.

Just checked the total: 1/16" shy of 2".
And for a change, pretty close to the official totals in my area.
South Bay got shorted on rain, but the foothills got a lot. Good for us!

Woke up at a reasonable time to snow. Not a lot but enough to make it messy on my walk. Think there is some rain mixed with it. Have to take my time walking.
I have clogs that -I learned- are very slippery in wet weather. I went down, HARD!, twice (like I didn't learn the first time) and wrenched my shoulder and knee and banged up my hands, nose, and elbow. Take your time. Hurrying is not worth that kind of damage!

I was very careful and I had my boots on. Since it was dry on my way back, I used my umbrella like a cane. Hoping for better conditions tomorrow.

Mah jong in the morning then errands in the afternoon. Suppose to be another dry day.

Winds are scary here tonight. And they're not supposed to let up until 9AM.
I really feel for everybody who's about 150 miles west of me and about halfway through the upper part of the country though.
I hope they don't go through a repeat of what happened the other day. It doesn't look good.
