an equal-opportunity soaking

We've had no snow on the hill-top yet, but it's been plenty wet. The forecast is quite boring, except for Saturday's possible burst of wind! Yay for wind!! 



Saturday also promises an inch-plus soaking locally. And not just here - all of the high country along the Pacific crest (even south to the Sierra Nevada and San Gabriel ranges) plan to participate in the coming week's soaking! California can feel neglected in La niña years, but this coming week will be most helpful. This is inches of moisture so multiply by 10 more or less for snowfall. Looks like seven feet more or less for the Olympics and Sierra crest, well over three feet for coast ranges and near Los Angeles. Very helpful for backpackers who hope to fill their 'canteens' next summer.
