Agreed, Scott... nothing sucks worse weather-wise than 40 degrees and rain... I'd rather it be colder and snowy for sure... and I have become so sick of perfect weather on the coast of San Diego Co., I had to start building a place in the northern midwest where the weather changes every couple of hours or so... OK, that last bit was sarcasm... we do actually have seasons in San Diego, but much different than the default seasons that most of the rest of the world has. And for the record, I say the above even as we actually had a thunder and lightning storm two days ago, and might have another on Sunday -- we are almost 50% above normal for rainfall this "rainy season" and we typically get half of our rain in Jan.... OK, for context, we have over 6 inches of rain to date and normal/average is a bit over 4 inches by now... our official rain-year runs from June to June and the "rainy season" is typically Dec. through March/April, but with half the yearly rain in Jan. These rain storms we've been having are perfect for our region... not more than an inch at a time and spaced out 3-7 days in between, so much less chance of mudslides where the fires left only dirt on the hill/canyon sides... which means.... another Super Bloom out in Anza-Borrego... we just had one in 2017 and there was so much traffic out there it was jarring -- you're in the middle of nowhere in the desert and yet it is stop and go traffic because too many people wanted to see the Super Bloom -- they typically have 10 years or more in between years with Super Blooms. This one will be interesting because it is starting now... almost without exception, desert blooms occur in late Feb. at the earliest, but March is usually the peak.
