Well we are just starting to get some wind now and the rain is still coming down but not as hard. The lake shows some signs that it has raised a foot or so.

Hey John,

How are things up your way today? We are having hard rain and wind, with gusts that are supposed to reach 60 MPH this afternoon. So far no snow this low but they are stopping traffic on I-5 to make sure they have chains as there is some snow in the mountains. If the wind gets that bad with everything soaked, I fear we will have power outages as some of these trees won't take that wind and the wet ground. The tall Digger Pines have a very shallow root system and area real pain.

Well, be careful. If it raises the other foot it could fall right over on you.

Rain and wind so bad here my wife gave up her rounds and came home for the day, no small thing.

You must be having the winds that we are now getting. We had some yesterday but not like today. They just shut down the freeway again in South Redding because of a power line that a blown over pole dropped across it. They have opened the highway to Lassen as it was blocked at Eskimo Hill by snow. Now I hear they are starting to stop traffic at Fawndale. Not sure if that is the case.

Gunner, are you having any flooding down there yet. I would bet the Yolo causeway area is under water. I am far enough above the lake that I don't have to worry about that other foot.
