    I have not seen it this dry in Cali in probabaly 12 years it seems. But I know it can get a lot dryer.
    I am gratful for the rain but I would love to take a ride right now. And my husband really needs one. he gets cranky and on my nerves when he is not riding!
    We are getting snow in our local mountains right now. They just said that on the news. It was 44 at 4:00 this afternoon. It is never that cold during the day!
    In a 24 hour period our little town got 4.40 inches of rain! Wow first time ever here! Snow levels at 1200 feet right now. So crazy and 2 more storms on the way!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    As long as it stops by the weekend

    Seriously. I leave the PNW to SoCal to escape the rain. That and our plans revolve around walking...so if the fates agree, I'd like an end to the rain between 4pm on Saturday and around 2am on Sunday. After that, the rain can start back up.

    if the fates are reading this, I am only requesting it for the Los Angeles area

    Gee - thanks. So it's okay if Jo and I get wet and moldy on our 200k.

    d'oh. Ok, a full cease and desist on rain for the weekend. I only used one wish, that means I get two more, right?

    Well, ever since all you California people stole our jet stream, we've been chilling in the dry arctic air. I'm tired of picking bloody razor boogers out of my nose.

    Please send the rain back north to the PNW where it belongs!

    And I hereby request that the rain let up for San Francisco proper, at least for Saturday and Sunday. Pretty please? Though, chances are I'll be staying indoors most of the time. Ahem.

    I gave up and decided to take a few rest days. I want to have the motivation to get out there on Saturday, and I know if I spent the three days prior riding in this, I just wouldn't.

    Doesn't Mother Nature know I have a double century coming up?

    I'm getting all of that rain as snow. It's pretty, but it's scary to drive in. The weather forcast is for more snow through the week. Luckily it's just 3-4 inches each day, but that adds up.

    Looks like it's coming to AZ

    Looks quite dark to the west...
    I just hope it doesn't decide that it likes the desert! I'm Ironman training man! 70 miles on a trainer just does NOT sound fun!
    We also have a national BMX race at our local track this weekend. I'd hate for that to get rained out.
    Running Hubby just called me and said it's snowing heavily just east of Kingman. And he just LOVES driving in the snow!
    AY YI YI!

    It's been flurrying here in Flagstaff all day today since I got up at 6:00 a.m. No accumulation to speak of though so driving should be no problem

    We can always use the moisture.

    This is crazy today. I think I need to pull out the scuba gear.

    Crossing my fingers that the forecast holds out and I get to take advantage of a break in the showers during my century tomorrow morning!

    roadiegal... where are you in NoCal? I know the Grapevine was shut down due to big rigs jack-knifing in the snow. Apparently there were cars stuck there overnight and the CHP was taking food and water to everyone in the cars!

    maillotpois... ugh. Yeah, it's supposed to move in here tomorrow. Right now we have a break in it and it's clear and sunny. And of course, I'm stuck in my office.
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
