5 Well, we really do, Skid. C'mon. We don't have much else to brag about anymore so let us at least have that.

6 Wind in the Carson Valley already has 45+ mph gusts happening. Rain expected to start coming over the Sierra's at Tahoe Thursday morning, but warm storm with snow levels above 7000 for the most part. Valley floor is just at 5000 so unlikely to see snow for Christmas Day.

7 It’s 20 degrees warmer just north of SF today with some rain. The last few weeks have been very cold with inversion type fog. Now if we could just get the rain and cold to come together we might be able to get some snow in the mountains.

8 Florida got hit with some weird fog.
I recall a European City/Town did too.
Mystery Fog stories are trending this year.

IDK - a bunch of people saw Mouthman too. Sensationalism, trend, causality, mass psychosis, grain of truth, who knows.

9 some back of the envelop stuff leads to the conclusion that California will be getting an extra 400-800 MW of power if current estimates of rainfall come to pass

that's nice but California typically needs 10,000 to 40,000 MW

10 ABU.
I visited a past customer in bohemian LA.
Was picked up at the airport in a limo.
Smooth express lane ride to some coastal enclave.
Sat at a venue curbside table discussing a project timeline over a late afternoon dinner of oysters and lobster salad.
Chilled white wine then Reisling until civilian twilight, @10pm my time.

I've never been closer to heaven.

11 ^ Skid, you should have been here 50 years ago. We still have our moments, especially if we can keep the cash flowing. Just don't talk about politics.
