The inches that count

   Thu, January 31, 2008 - 5:09 PM
Holy raindrops, the banana slugs and bracken ferns are lovin' life! I love living in the redwood rainforest.

We've had 20.77 inches of rain since January 3rd, and we're expecting another 3" in the Santa Cruz Mountains this weekend. If that happens, that'll mean we've had TWO FEET of water in a month. I like dramatize that by stacking my hands vertically, about two feet apart. We got 35.9" in 2005-2006 rain season, and 26.46" in 2006-2007, and we've already gotten over 30" this season.

Way to go rain! I love the rain drips from the trees after the rain has stopped. One of the most pleasing sounds I know of.

Enjoy the rain and the fun that goes with it!
