Rain, 11/9/17

While Nepenthe’s rain gauge only reported about .37” for the prior 24 hours ending at 6 am this morning, all the gauges down on the South Coast reported well over an inch of rain. For us, I think this indicates the end of the fire season, at least for now. As you can see, I changed out the fire links on the right for the weather links, as I do twice a year with the seasons. Enjoy the rain, as I am.

My rule-of-thumb is that it takes 3" of rain to close fire season. We got 2.16" so far at the bottom of Gorda Mountain, so I still consider fire to be a danger.
