This latest storm has put Bear River at over 30 inches of rain for the season. You can see the total rainfall for the year by going to the Current Weather page.

I've been doing some research to put this in to perspective:

2009 = 43.5 Inches
2008 = 30.5 Inches
2007 = 32.0 Inches
2006 = 77.5 Inches
2005 = 63.5 Inches
2004 = 42.0 Inches
2003 = 50.0 Inches
2002 = 43.5 Inches
2001 = 30.5 Inches

The California Department of Water Resources dataset that I'm drawing from only goes back to July 1, 2000....the "rainfall year" start on July 1st and ends the next year on June 30th.

As you can see, around 30 inches is a bad year...think last year. Around 45 to 50 inches is a normal year. Anything over 55 inches is a great year.

If things continue as they have, we're going to at least have a normal year...if we're lucky and conditions hold through the end of April, we could have a great year.

Wouldn't it be great if things were as good as 2005 and 2006?

OMG....the Olympic Games have been so cool so far. Shaun White, Hannah Kearney, Apollo Ono, Lindsey Vonn...everyone on Team USA has been doing so well and putting on a show second to none.

However, as much as I'm going USA-USA-USA I hope that our neighbors to the north and this year's Olympic hosts will win gold in hockey...(we, of course, can take silver)...hey, it *is* Canada's national sport after all. Their team is really good...they're nice people...they deserve it.

Happy Birthday King James. Our camp baby is a man now!!
We were also about 12 hours ahead of the snow in Montgomery and Selma Alabama, then Dallas. We came along I 20 then up to I 40 leaving a trail of snow. Back in Virginia we have neighbors and our son checking the pipes and heating system regularly. The pre X-mas snow lasted a month so I imagine that it will be March before they thaw.
out...roads are drivable in about 24 hours however.
Got into Crockett Saturday nite in time for Valentine's Day. God it is green here....the rest of the country is shades of white and gray.





Tubers Ho!
