After over 12" of rain over the past few days the Napa Valley is no worse for wear despite a few downed trees. Gorgeous day!
Calm after the storm

Great pic...I guess that's a good start for the water reserve of 2013.

I'm with Jon, thanks for the pic, OT.
Water is a good thing. I hope the Sierras are covered with snow--good for the ski industry and good for the rest of California so that we have something to drink and something to flush our toilets with next summer.

Who says we are going to want to share it with you southerners? Damn entitlists. ;)

I was talking about the vines, already looking forward to the 2013 harvest!
Entitlists v. Elitists? I'm bound to switch teams before too long.

So, if snow just happens to melt, and that melt just happens to flow downhill (Yeah, like it's gonna flow uphill?) into an aqueduct, and that aqueduct just happens to pass over some mountains into a reservoir and, thence, into my toilet tank, I'm defined as an entitlist?
Maybe you're right.
I'm getting thirsty. Please send more water this way.

Yeah those naturally occurring acqueducts are native to California. Freaks of nature they are!

Those aqueducts were brought over as cuttings from Rome.
Great pix again, OT. I'm totally happy to send SoCal all the water that runs off our roads and floods our crawlspaces!
Other than grapes, most growers hate rain because it comes at the wrong time. Big grape growers in the Central Valley irrigate, so they don't really like rain much either. It also creates fuel for hillside fires, washes crap into the surfbreaks (ever gotten E. Coli while surfing?), overloads the sewers and waste treatment facilities... A perfect day is watching the grey clouds scud overhead without dropping anything, then hearing there is a chain advisory for the drive to Tahoe. Lots of snow for my elitist winter sports (I'm a mediocre-at-best snowboarder, but my kids can ski better), less trouble for me.
