Rain totals in Ca. I'm at 11" for this storm so far. We're currently in a short reprieve with more on the way only colder.
Some areas got nearly two feet of rain.

What has all of this moisture done for your drought and the reservoirs?

Well if you're a lib, nothing. But if you're a native to Ca. then it just proves our water management is 100 years out of date.
The left claims this won't help the drought, despite flooding up and down the state with more to come, they claim the drought was the result of people abusing our resource, that farmers use more than their fair share. Reservoirs? Oh Hell no, that would actually work.
I kid you not, the bread basket of the nation is supposed to relent, and give their water rights to the fraud that is the Bay area Delta, a man made habitat, the one libs claim is a fragile ecosystem where tiny Delta Smelt need to be protected.

Yes, the left has actually spun this BS around and blamed the very people that made Ca the 2nd largest economy in the world back in the 60s.
One has to wonder, if the Delta is so fragile, then why are the Dims trying to put in a huge pipe to siphon off water for Los Angles?
Wouldn't building more dams be a better resource?

Well they liberals. Dams are a sure way to reserve water and prevent floods. Just like they are against controlled burns. And they consider themselves the smartest people n the world.

Yep, not to mention the cleanest source of energy, but none of that matters where leftist control is at stake.
These people truly suck!

Pretty cool gif images of the storm crossing the US.

Cleaned off 4"s more snow, and it calling for snow all the way up to 2200.   Then I have a break for 4 days.  But that could change.

I thought you might get more from the looks of the system and the cold air you had in place. Now get out the quad and play.

We got another 5" of rain since last night, bringing us total since Saturday to 15" of rain, and 50" for the season.
Been a good storm.

I have been  before and after cleaning up snow.  I am the only one around for 10 miles.  It starter floating some at 20MPH in the deep snow. 

This same time 5 years ago.

Awoke to ice on my mustache from breathing through my nose.
Oh, did I mention it was 13 degrees last night?
St lets me sleep with the window open but last night made me compromise, so it was only slid a few inches open, but obviously enough to freeze my breath. :))

Pipes just thawed out and it actually warmed up to 39 which was a blessing for the pipes.
Now the snow will come and look oh so pretty...
That is, until you have to deal with it. :'(

Well, looks like it's all over for now. Total rainfall came in at 17" and we're now at a total of 50" for the season, and yes, this is normal regardless of what the leftist media claims.
Refreshing to be back to normal once again.

Well I looked out and I have 3" more snow to remove and it coming down for 3 more hours the say.  Then 3 days of partly cloudy and sun.  The 3 days are subject to change.      I am not getting cabin fever as I get to go out and clean snow and play on the quad, I just can not go into town.  My neighbor is gone for 3 months but their kids that live 10 miles away called checking on us.   Also seeing if we need anything.  The neighbor also leaves us his Hummer if I need it, but we are set for 3+ months if need be.  You just can not ask for better neighbors.

This photo of a #hen taking care of #kittens during a #storm is the most beautiful thing I have ever looked at.

What a great shot.

Yeah it is.
Can't blame them, with all the wind and blowing rain we've had.
