RE: rain-on-snow events later this week (around March 10, 2023):

-The low elevation snow, high soil moisture content, and higher river levels, which we currently have, tick the ingredients boxes for increased potential impacts from a warmer atmospheric river. It’s something to keep an eye on, but the predictions don’t yet show something huge like 1997 — there is something coming but it’s still quite uncertain how it will evolve.-

… with a near-record in some places (though not others–notably including the northern Sierra) comes the reality that there’s a lot of water stored up in them thar hills….

this very large snowpack will mostly remain intact until later in the spring…

@pennyphilosophy

i am stocked up, done what i think i can do. hope nothing big happens, although the already damaged and not fixed yet roads will probably get damaged and flooded again so I will probably get cut off and have to shelter in place for a bit, again. for that I am also somewhat prepared.

what a weird winter for my area. usually in january it's dry enough to go out and gather up some wood. not this year!
