How’s the weather?

[pacu mom]

Atmospheric river system heading our way. Tuesday night will be particularly nasty with a high wind watch. In town, besides the possible 2-3" of rain, the wind predicted to be 29 - 34 mpg with gusts up to 65 mpg (worse than where I live 9 miles inland) Downed trees and power outages usually accompany the heavy wind, and it will be particularly hazardous to drive on the main road out of here with the possibility of a massive redwood tree/trees falling down with the water logged ground and strong winds those trees can fall even without the winds help.

Wind warning:
* WHEN...From Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning.

* IMPACTS...Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines.
Widespread power outages are possible. Travel could be difficult,
especially for high profile vehicles. Wind gusts will be
particularly strong along windward ridges and exposed coastal
headlands.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.

Woke up this morning to the first hard frost of this late autumn period. And about 2 hours ago the first snow started falling. Brrrr, winters upon us

Very warm out today for mid November. I took advantage and cleaned up some leaf litter,which I hate doing.

Woohoo! Special Weather Alert for my area. Up to 20cm of snow possible, daytime highs finally below freezing, stay off roads, be afraid, yadda yadda yadda...

You would think we had never seen a snowfall before. The only thing unusual about this is that it is happening about a month too late! Starts with heavy rain tomorrow and segues into snow later in the day. Gotta gas up the snowblower and prepare.

I know it's my civic duty to be frightened, but I just can't muster up a good patriotic panic...too excited thinking about how wonderful hunting will be on Thursday.
