winter weather

Well, winter weather as it pertains to our region, anyway. More valley rain and mountain snow is on the way for tonight as another storm system crashes ashore from the Pacific. This storm will be a bigger headache for Southern California than for us here in Northern California. Here, expect some nuisance rain and snow showers for the mountains above 3500 feet. This storm will move out quickly tomorrow, leaving behind some scattered light rain showers. We get a bit of a break Thursday and Friday before another storm impacts our area on Christmas Day and Sunday. It's still too early to tell how big of an impact we'll get from this weekend's storm, so check back as I make updates. For now, enjoy the wet and winter-like weather.
