I heard Shasta filled up this year. It has been disastrously low.

Yes. It's been looking better since the last 2 years but it's not out of the drought yet. I wish we were but that's ok because as long as we get the rain and snow pack we'll be good

Sage Hill, I was wondering how the weather is down your way. I know Santa Barbara is getting quite a bit of rain

We're getting a light rain. Started last night and is mostly rain to light rain all today. LA seems to be getting slammed this year. In San Diego we are pretty lucky as it's "perfect rain" - not too hard, just right.

Happy to hear that. We're expecting it to continue until tomorrow night I think

Same here - but ya' know the forecast is always changing. Sigh - I actually trust the big rock (whichever one I see first there are A LOT) better - wet=rain, dry & cool = cloudy, dry and warm/hot = sunny

Very true. I'm just really wanting to get out and start planting my garden. My husband decided I needed a tiller so I got that and now I have 3 greenhouses. 1 is 9'8 ft× 6'5ft×6'5ft. I really like it because I can start my seeds extremely early now. The other 2 are small, just big enough to walk in, put a pot on 1 of the shelves and walk out.

I got a new puppy in December and he probably barely weighed 5 pounds if he was lucky he now weighs 28.4 pounds
