1. Giant algae bloom attacks west coast

May your gutters be full.

2. Got ready for it yesterday

Brought in my umbrella and deck furniture (the true end of summer for me). Then I cleared away all the leafy debris (to make room for more leafy debris), and happily I didn't have to commute in the this morning.

Now, my yard is drinking it up! First real rain all season, lets hope we get lots of rain this winter and fill up our reservoirs.

We need better ways to capture and store rain when it comes, (so much of it ends up back in the bay).

Watched the weatherman's song n dance routine last night................ same crap as last year!

4. So if I told you its drizzling on my window right now

You wouldn't believe it?

5. There's an atmospheric river coming out way

This is the edge. We're going to be on the edge of it, further north will get dumped on, supposed to be snow up in Shasta.

6. Where's all the wind and rainfall they hyped all week?

All I got out in the valley is 'Oregon Sunshine'. Zero wind, and barely any measurable rain.

7. Northern Cali map

8. I've been looking at live doppler radar, too, and I'm totally painted green, but....

and at this rate, we'll be lucky to get a 1/4 inch of rain out of this system, and that's after radio and television hyped 1-2 inches.

The upside: It will knock the dust down for the season.

9. Ah, the revised forecast says.....

the heavy stuff moves in late Saturday thru Sunday, and the brunt of it will be north of Redding

I'm glad I didn't clean the rain gutters for nothing.
