In my last post I wrote that all the storms coming into California were pretty much staying on the west side of the mountains and we were only getting showers. Well Tuesday night and all day Wednesday that all changed. It rained so hard that it woke us up during the night, we developed a small leak around the slide and I had to tilt the motorhome slightly to keep the water out. We spent the day yesterday inside reading and playing cards. The local TV stations were showing the flooding and damage the rain caused, lots of road closures, and washouts. All told we had over 4 inches in less than 24 hours.
This morning we woke up to sunshine, clear skies, and snow on the tops of the mountains, pretty.
The storms are over and the forecast calls sun and warmer temperatures (70°) or higher, just like we want it to be.
By the way Gorgie did go to the pool for water aerobics during the storm. She came home looking like a drowned rat, but had a good time anyway.
Today is going to be our last chance to get that date shake we have wanted, so we are going to venture out and fight the Christmas crowds, see if we can find our way around the road closures, to run some errands and get said shake. Christmas is still our move day.
I have updated our itinerary and the restaurants pages. Just click on the red titles above the weather banner to see.
More Later,
Rich
