Low 80s, just mowed the lawn and then laid out in the sun. Too hot, had to come inside. Exceptional drought.

4-2-15 and just now seeing snow on Mt Pilchuck, been cool in the mornings with lots of rain, clears up a little in the evening, then rains somemore, good news is all that rain down here is snow up there.
Watching the weather this morning, I kind of get the impression we have just less than another week of rain, then they'll turn off the spigot. I need the car this afternoon, so I drove the wife to work. 35 degrees when we started out. Just driving one of the work rigs, I think I saw snow mixed in the stuff on the windshield. Last I saw it, Mt. St. Helens had a pretty coat of white.
Clear and frosty this morning... Snow level is at November levels? First time I've seen frost here since December.
It's raining here on the coast, fourty-five degrees and small craft warnings. Perfect day to stay inside with a good book.
Bright sun, exceptional drought, water use restrictions starting back up again. It is the end of the lawn for most of California. Water will be very expensive this year.
yesterday afternoon with a full belly of fat and a need to work it off! warm sun @ 48*
with no wind in april? now waking to this is not really a shock.

We're thankful for the 1-1.5" we got here in Napa in the last 24 hours.
The link below shows some satellite photos of the snow pack, or lack thereof, in the Sierras.

A nice little rain in Mendocino Co., 1.5" since Sat. back to the woods tomorrow, the season is upon us, got 1 extra spotted owl showed up so one job is off until the state decides what to do.
Drove thru the mtns. to 8000' on a road that should be under 10' of snow right now, and there was 4" of fresh snow in the shady areas. No water in them hills this year could see water in one of the lakes but it was maybe 10% full. Most of the water truck holes wouldn't fill a back pack pump and it is barely spring.

We got almost 2 inches at Humboldt Bay.
My former neighbor in the Sierras called...they got enough rain to ease the fire danger a little but not enough to have any effect on the drought.

Sometimes I think that's worse. It's amazing how quickly forget about fire safety. An hour of rain is pretty much erased by an hour of drying.
We just had a massive California storm system roll through it rained for three days! the total? 1.3"!!! My lawns will be green for another week.
Water rationing begins in a couple of weeks so the "normal" price increases start in another week. We are required to reduce consumption but because we will, the water department will have to increase prices to make up for the lack of consumption. The sewer plant in turn will not have enough water in the form of household sewage so they will have to raise their rates too. The city hires two "water cops" to enforce the new regulations (same as last year) so we will receive a "temporary" rate increase to pay their salaries. I expect that once again the cops will be relatives and friends of the city council members. The fine for over watering your lawn is $500.00.

I tried to burn brush on my current job on Tuesday. I was shut down due to 55mph gusts and a Red Flag Warning. Today is Thursday of the same week winds are 30 mph gusts ?, there is a winter storm warning in effect and there is an Avalanche Bulletin posted. What a difference two days can make. I love it!
Yup. Tuesday morning, driving home from work rain and snow on my windshield at 500 feet elevation, temp right now is 73, perfect blue clear skies.
Weather??
Holy owl crap... I wish I had time to tell y'all about our weather.
You don't know weather until you've lived here for a year.
When I get back I'll start a new thread... you won't believe‼

That's not fair. You can actually read! Us knuckledraggers don't even know what we are missing.
