1:35 pm – hail covered the ground, and then stopped.
11:30 am – update: significant winds and rain. Rain gauge fixed and the antenna fixed for cellular internet, at least for now. Storm has dropped over 2 inches here, so far. NOAA issued this: “HAVE CHANGED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON AND HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW ABOVE 500 FEET FOR THE ENTIRE SALINAS VALLEY AS WELL AS THE COASTAL ZONES FROM SANTA CRUZ
SOUTH FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SAT MID MORNING.”
Up here, rain started around 9 pm last night. Rain gauge had been toppled last storm, so not sure how much I got, but wouldn’t be surprised to see that it was over 1 and 1/2 inches. I’ll have to check near-by sources. No snow, and warmer last night than the night before, but looking to see what today brings.
LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN AREA THAT HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING SIGNIFICANT SNOW WILL BE THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS AND THE EAST BAY HILLS SOUTH…AND SOUTH OF THE SANTA CLARA VALLEY IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. HAVE CHANGED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON AND HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW ABOVE 500 FEET FOR THE ENTIRE SALINAS VALLEY AS WELL AS THE COASTAL ZONES FROM SANTA CRUZ SOUTH FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SAT MID MORNING.

The storm is hitting here pretty hard, lots of rain & wind. I believe what we are getting now at 8:15am will hit you in a couple hours. No sign of sleet/snow yet & its still pretty warm out all considering. Prepare for WIND!
