Great idea and very generous, I'll go 16 inches thinking that this warm coastal weather will produce a lot of rain. I hope these storms flush out some of the silt and sand that our local streams have built up.

42. flybob--------------46.5


BTW, it was snowing here around 4:30 to 4:45 (Sunday afternoon) and the temperature was 42 degrees (weird for snow at that temperature, so must be much colder aloft), but has turned to a drizzly rain at the moment.

I'll bite! he he. I will say the magic number is 42".

I hope youdon't get much more than that. Remember last year right before Christmas the local mtns received 3 feet of snow and it shut the mtns down for 3 days.
