Good Soaking so far!

Postby John Harper » March 1st, 2015, 8:37 am

Been raining pretty heavily since 4AM. Already have a bit over an inch of rain here in Carlsbad. Some was really heavy, I'm sure the fire scorched hills behind my house will have some mud flowing.

Got a quick shower last night. Not one drop of rain today thus far.

Some heavy showers overnight in Rancho Bernardo, and it's been raining non-stop since I got up at 6:00 this morning. Hopefully, some of this will get up to the mountains and help out the creeks and streams.

Unlike the last storm we haven't gotten a drop yet here in the desert. Mammoth mountain is reporting 8-12 inches though. :)

We've received maybe 1/2 inch of snow in Running Springs--certainly not the 8-10 inches they were predicting. It's still lightly snowing but nothing to write home about. :sad:

Does anyone know if Big Bear is doing better? I saw on the news they were saying 8 - 12 inches.

RS is about 14 miles from big bear and looking at the snow cams at Snow Summit it doesn't look like they've received a lot yet.

That's about 1 1/2" more than we received. Oh well, guess that's what you should expect when they call for 8-10".

We got our usual 10 minutes of rain last night around 4:30 to 4:40. I put off watering my yard last week waiting for this storm. I guess I'll have to get out and water today. :sad:
