Well yesterday Jan 5th we woke to another deluge of snow. It’s been an incredible winter here on the left coast. We usually experience a very mild winter, and for many of us, that very mildness is the reason we live here. We don’t like the snow! So when (as my mother calls it) LA LA land get’s this much snow it is cause for concern. The roads have been treacherous, and people are having heart attacks just due to the sheer volume of snow they are trying to shovel to keep driveways and walkways clear.

Today we woke to pouring rains. It’s REALLY coming down, and it’s creating flooding along the roads. The street in front of our home has rivers of water running down it and our driveway is trying its best to allow the water pouring off our roof, to find its way to the road and down the storm drains. It’s just pouring off the house as I speak and our gutters are not holding it in, there are some leaks on our corner gutters near the garage and if I put a garbage can under it, it fills with water in a short period of time. The snow pack must be significant this year, so I imagine the rivers and creeks will be well watered!

I’ll go outside and take a  picture of the water coming down but it might not show up on my post right away as I’ll need M to show me how to post the picture to gallery so I can use it. I am glad I am off right now and not having to go out in this weather!

So, I guess I’m posting this for you to see that we are not whining about the snow anymore… NOW it’s the water!! hahah
