Yesterday was a day of intermittent heavy showers, interspersed with anything between bright sunshine and gloomy drizzle. For the day as a whole we collected 2.15 inches (about 54 mm) of rain, bringing the total for February to 5.55 inches (about 140 mm).
Toward the end of the storm last night, we had a couple of bright flashes of lightning to our north, and some lovely and dramatic rolling thunder of the sort rarely heard in these parts – scared the hell out of Lea, our female field spaniel. During the day we had one spectacular rainbow, stretching perfectly across the mountains forming the north and east rim of Lawson Valley.
We drove out the valley late in the day to pick up Debbie's car at Rancho Jamul Auto (our auto care heroes!). The creeks were swollen to a level higher than we've seen in quite a few years. The soils all over the valley must be completely saturated, because it appears that all of the water from this storm is running off...
