Latest forecast is less than half an inch now over the next few days. Too bad. We need more.

Hope you get what you need, instead of too much or too little.

I lived most of my life in the Bay Area, and even in the "normal years", precipitation was all over the place. Both editions of Harold Gilliam's Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region have helped me understand the conditions behind the incredible variability of the weather in that region.

Thanks. Been tough here in SoCal lately with the drought and all. We're on outside water restrictions as well though most don't follow them. I do... our lawn is not long for this world. lol

Have you seen that they have some sort of "green" mulch that can be spread on dying lawns. I think the idea is that it maintains the green look of a lawn, and once the rain returns your grass underneath will grow back thru and eventually the mulch is fertilizer to make it even greener.

My crabgrass dies every winter, so it's not unusual for me.

Funny.

Seriously, it's a waste of water out here. I can put in plants that use hardly any. The water situation here is not going to get better any time soon.

Here's an interesting read about it:

Once you are here, you are here forever. There's no deleting.

Unless he pisses off a mod.

Then it's time.

Raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock. 3 inches since Thursday and continues through Sunday.

Stuck in a +/- 4 degrees (Celcius) cycle for the foreseeable future. Rain, snow, cats, dogs, whatever.... rather even have -20 than this.
