How's The Weather

Quote from Stumpy

In every cloud there's a silver lining - you guys shouldn't have to worry about the wildfires they've been having all over California.

Yep and all the crap in the air will be gone... for a few days anyway...

The storm blew in, and it is POURING. Too dark to read the rain guage yet, but it is wild and wooly out there right now!

Happy that the power is still on,

I am basically just on the other side of the mountain from Chester and we are getting pounded by rain... all main streets are starting to be closed due to flooding. We still have power and all but can't get across town... Hope all is well with you Chester...

Well, we lost power for the better part of the day Tuesday and into the night . . . it came back on around 2:15 AM this morning. I don't know about Morgan Hill, but we had around 10 inches of rain in 24 hours! Definitely some flooding issues around the San Francisco Bay area!

Thanks, erthomp, for asking about us. We're doing just fine. We're thankful that we have a woodburning stove for heat, a gas stove in the kitchen for cooking (got to light it with a match, and with electronic thermostat, the oven doesn't work when the power's out), gas water heater (can shower by candle light!), and plenty of candles. Chester even made a little 12-volt extension cord that plugs into a car battery, and the kids were able to watch a movie on the portable DVD player. We also have a crank radio, so we could continue to listen to the news.

My friends rain gauge showed 6.5 inches of rain yesterday... Can't recall that much rain in such a short time here.... but all is well... and glad to hear all is well with you...

Were still getting some rain hera almost daily. Today has been dry so far. However, we have grossly warmed up and became very humid again. I think later this week or early next week? were supposed to dip into the 50's at night with day highs of about 72--but ill believe that when I feel it

Glad you folks with all the rain are doing fine. We are having a high of 52 today with clear skies, and into the 30's again tonight.

Sometime tomorrow afternoon or early evening, were supposed to get a cool front blow through. Im definately looking forward to that ;-)) We also have a 20% chance of rain. Cool weather is supposed to be here for at least 5 days ;-))

Glad to hear that you folks are OK in California. We didn't get quite as much rain as you did, but it put a good dent in our drought situation!

havent seen any news for some time so i to am glad that you are all right. we have had a few more dust storms but not as bad as before, we have had bush fires in the south/east but not so far where i am. and to top it off we got more rain just before the dust storm came in lol.

Hello All We have a wicked spectrum of color on leaves at this time and had more sunshine blue sky days then we deserved. Now the Fall monsoons have gently settled and we are back in the tree growing season.

light rain and 40°, calling for a warm up into the low 60's by Monday

Well, front blew through w/ no additional rain. Its still a bit windy out, is drier and a bit cooler. Im not complaining ;-))

We are getting your rain. It had ice mixed with it earlier, and they are getting snow to the west of us. Finally today we had to put the heat on after 5 days of mid 30's at night.

Getting chilly, wood stove now fired up in the evenings

Blue skies, and with a hint of coolness in the air-especially when you walk through the shady spots.

very wet and windy

bit cool but not cold and no rain

We got some rain in the middle of the night which caused some flooding in areas of town. I slept through it all ;-))

Later today a cold front is supposed to blow through here and its supposed to drop into the upper 50s this evening Now THIS is MY kind of weather ;-))

3" of rain the last two days, temps in 30's

suprisingly warm for the end of october but nice walking weather
