Dan the Weatherman Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Rain has finally arrived in Socal, and it was coming down pretty good here in Orange for a while, but it has lightened up somewhat. It still looks as if there is some heavier rain to my west that will move in shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 It was nice to see wet streets this morning though only 0.12 here. 4:15AM NWS discussion: "LA county was the big winner in the precip contest with a quarter to a half inch of rain common across the area".

It rained for nearly 2 hours here in Orange last night and was heavy at times, too. I don't know how Downtown L.A. could have only received 0.02" as the band of rain was quite solid as opposed to being scattered showers. That 0.02" reading doesn't sound right to me based on the activity of last night, unless the band intensified as it moved into Orange County.

Since their data is messed up, we will never know if they had the driest year ever at the end of June, assuming the totals for the rest of the season, minus whatever what missed today, are 3.21 or less".

Guest happ Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I am looking forward to next storm tomorrow into the weekend but mainly because I will be in northern Sacramento valley where low level snowfall is expected.

Anti Marine Layer Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 It's March already and last night's sunset was about the same time (in GMT) as last year's Fall Equinox. Daylight Saving Time starts on March 11. That will be nice. I find it odd that it's usually colder in mid-March when the sun sets at around 7 PM than after the first Sunday in November, when the sun sets before 5 PM. Tomorrow's storm is looking promising.

Yes, Redondo beach where Rick lives; nobody sunning/ swimming when temp is barely 60F. I love this late winter reprise but am anxious for rainfall.

Anti Marine Layer Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Rain has finally arrived here. It has started to rain pretty hard.

Anti Marine Layer Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Looks like no one was excited about the rain today. Looks like Los Angeles County got it well before Orange County. It started to drizzle before sunset, then the heavier stuff started after dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 32 hours without a post from happ. Rain has lightened up here, but it has not ended yet. Looks like L.A. County still got the brunt of the storm, with a total of 0.51" so far in Downtown L.A. That's a pretty amazing rainfall amount for a single storm this winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 It rained a little more overnight, bringing the Lake Forest rainfall totals to 0.35", but this storm really favored L.A. County and northward. Hoping to still get a little bit more measurable rain here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happ Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Glad to read about the rain totals and hope more showers occur before the trough pushes east. I am much closer to the low off the Oregon coast in Chico but showers have been very light since yesterday. The green hills and orchards in Sacramento valley look great.

Will it happen before the end of June? @ Quote --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted March 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Two days of rain and this topic had less posts than average for one day. We need some major flooding or severe weather such as strong thunderstorms or tornadoes to get some posts here. Hopefully our next storm can bring some of that without any significant damage.

Guest happ Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I also returned from Northern California to a rain gauge of 1.01 from rain over the weekend.

Anti Marine Layer Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Sunrise today is back to where it was the first Monday of Pacific Standard Time, finally. Sunset, however, is 57 minutes later. Next week it's back to Daylight Saving Time and sunrise just after 7 AM with sunset just before 7 PM. And that could be our last time we do Daylight Saving Time in California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
