Forecasters said storms lasting through at least Friday could drop 20 inches of rain inland and 8 inches along the coast and in the valleys of Southern California. Ten inches of rain was predicted for the San Francisco Bay area.

What we need is snow in the mountains. A lot of rain just causes mudslides; it helps with reservoir water levels but not as much as some folks think.

Well we are already out of power.

Constant hard rain + 30mph+ gusts = no power.

Sure wish I had the 2000 Honda EU!

Wow, that was the most rain I've seen in a long time. The rain band has passed and the sun is starting to peek through right now. Unfortunately, my roof sprang a leak during this deluge.

Yep, that was a lot of rain. Fortunately we cleaned out the gutters and installed screens a couple weeks ago.

I heard a weather type say 10 feet of snow is possible in the Sierra's. That should help.

Been raining and snowing on and off here all day.
Stopped right now, and a lil blue poking through but it's coming back it looks like!!!

It's been 37 all day, hoping it turns to more snow tonight we`ll see.

We got power back around 1am and then lost it and then it came back. I got barely any sleep with the on/off of the electric devices that were not unplugged. L O L

I lived in SoCal for a long time, and even then I noticed what seemed to be a one-two punch of fires followed by heavy rains. One time (late 60s) there were bad fires, and then the winter rains came, like 45 days straight (everyone was making Bible jokes).

Let it rain let it rain let it rain! I replaced my 25 year old wood shake roof with fire proof light weight concrete last summer. Just in time because I doubt the old roof would have made it.

Snowing @ 3500Ft.

1" in 20 minutes it seems.

More on the way. Radar looks like the main system is moving north of SD, but that can change. Good luck.
