1:30 pm – had snow flurries today, but nothing stuck. The is as advertised – sunshine, then quickly it clouds up.

9:00 am – Frankly, I expected to have the morning to get things “ready” for this afternoon’s storm, but that was not to be. I only had a few things out in the rain, which I took care of immediately, and so far, it has not been a hard driving rain. Still, it is not really welcome with our highway being so fragile.

Fortunately, this is what NOAA has to say: “SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ALL DAY…WITH COVERAGE INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY BY THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER…EVEN WITH COVERAGE INCREASING…THE RFC 24 HOUR QPF FORECAST FOR TODAY IS BETWEEN A HUNDREDTH OF AN INCH FOR MUCH OF THE NORTH BAY…TO NEAR TWO TENTHS THROUGH THE SANTA CRUZ AND SAN LUCIA MOUNTAINS.”

CHP is listing no closures except Rocky Creek (MPM 60)
