Hadn't thought about that, Tom, but it's appropriate that we just re-taught a dance choreographed by a friend of ours in Sonora (Lorrie Wong) called Mudslide Boogie! Do you suppose we generated some kind of bad karma by not waiting 'till summer?! :-) This is worth exactly what you have to pay for it, but my read of the DIGI chart would seem to indicate you saw the bottom back on 1/26 and that it just completed a retest. Had a good move today. Things might start looking better, but who knows?! I'm really surprised you've lost all that snow already! That looked like a LOT of snow to disappear so quickly. We're seeing some fog too with the ground so wet. There's a small pitch & putt golf course near us that's part of the VA hospital. With the right conditions we can have surprisingly dense fog within a couple blocks of the place and a couple nights ago it came rolling across the road. Even though it's trivial compared to the tule fog in the Central Valley, it can still cause accidents. During the good weather we routinely have "morning fog", which burns off by noonish (it's our local "air conditioning" and the reason it normally doesn't get too hot around here during the summer). But it tends to be fairly high everywhere except right next to the water. [ Remember that, by definition, clouds below 600' are called fog. ] I don't know what's in store for us in terms of rain, but the next big threat will be from flooding caused by snow melt. It's unlikely to affect us here on the SF peninsula, but the inland areas that have rivers passing thru will all be targets. Many have been dammed above the foothills, but they can still have problems if they have to release the water too fast to keep the dams from breaking. Many of the rivers that come down the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range collect in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, which merge and pass out to the Pacific thru the Golden Gate. At most we'll see some exceptional tides around here, but generally we aren't affected. Inland a short distance can be significantly different... they'll see flooding in the farm lands and towns. Some of the San Joaquin River water gets diverted down to socal steve so he can take long showers, keep his pool filled and water his lawn, but this spring there'll be too much... even steve can't keep up with the overabundance we'll have this year! :-) Bruce
