More rain for us in Northern California. How's the weather where you are?

It was supposed to rain last night, but it waited until this morning--at least at my house. I'm happy, because it means I don't have to worry about my balcony snow peas, not to mention the ones at the preschool and Kaiser. Heh. Some of the kids' snow peas ARE coming up now. In a week or to we'll transfer them from the Dixie cups to the planter beds. How the weather where you are? I hope we have at least one or two snows this Winter up on Mt. Diablo, so we can drive up there and make little snow men. I can't see Mt. Diablo right now (clouds), but it's cold outside, so it could be snowing above 3500 feet or so.

Our forty days of rain have slacked off a bit. But it was really cold today for eastern NC...35 F!

35 F feels like real cold. I'm spoiled. 46 F felt chilly to me last night at my friend's house.

@TheHorse 35 is real cold for here, too! I actually put on a jacket. (I love to buy coats, I just don't like wearing them.)

Was sunny yesterday, no rain. I woke up early today so I could give Danie a walk. The moment we came back home it started raining only for a minute and it stopped. Sunny again now.

Hello, Horse. We were burned out of Paradise and now live in Santa Fe with my son. It snowed yesterday, but just cloudy today. Oh, P.S. I just got a really nice mahogany Ibanez guitar. I just love it So easy to play and such a great tone. Wish I'd gotten one a long time ago

@TheHorse yes there are a lot of artists and galleries here. I'd visited once since Devin moved here and loved it. I had thought I might move here when my folks were gone, didn't expect to come here this abruptly, especially with my 98 year old mother, but here we are. I'm glad at least your friends' guest house was okay, and their animals. I do hope they are able to rebuild.

I was wondering what happened to you. My friends Howie and Carol (she ran that consignment store on the main drag--it's gone) lost their house but not their guest house. Their horses, kitties and even chickens survived. I may go up there and help them rebuild later this Winter. Santa Fe is a prettty cool town, isn't it? Is it still pretty "artsy fartsy"?

@wolfgirl569 I worry that more and more Winters will be "easy" as the years progress. Will more "Russians" and "Asians" come across the straits, as they did 11,000 years ago, and populate America?

Is the snow all crusty as the surface melts? That can lead to BRUTAL snowballs.

Today started with a cloud covered day which I enjoyed walking to the library from the bus stop. Now being here for a few hours I peaked out the big glass windows, and see that blue skies returned. Weather report says till Thurs or Fri sunny with light breezes...but then we are going to have rain...so far not heavy rains.

@TheHorse Hoping the weather behaves and no disaster occurs, Jesus, thank you. Read in Mathew 1-6 to depend on Jesus for safer weather and weather protection. We need rain for water, but too much can be so devastating. Take care and stay dry and safe, pal!
