@TheHorse I woke up at about 4--and the window by my head was being pelted! Loved it!

I enjoy listening as well. Usually I turn off my radio. But last night, I fell asleep with it on.

We are having a very windy, rainy day here in western Oregon and that is okay. I talked to a friend in Van Nuys the other day and he said they have had very little and an article in the LA Times said that El Nino was not going to help southern Calif much.

That's disappointing for Southern California. I was hoping they'd have a big rain year as well.

@Hatley I'm not surprised. I hope you get a serious amount for that and other reasons as well.

I'm glad you got some too. In November, I was worried that El Nino would bathe Southern California but neglect the North. So far, it's been the opposite.

@TheHorse You always get colder weather up north with more rain and snow. It's a desert down here. In terms of the drought, it's the snow pact that's vital.

It is still February though nearing end of it. Our rainy season starts in June and ends somewhere mid to end October, at times extending into november. While the season is long, the rainfall may not be sufficient. Usually, some places get inundated whereas others remain drought pone. Either way, we are short of water.
