@Reg is AWOL too. Maybe he's fighting to free Palestine.

Rained here most of the day and still dead. Do we need a supercell thunderstorm with tornadoes and falling trees to wake this place up?

[Dan the Weatherman]

It has been raining here in Orange off and on since this morning, and it has been a decent soaking so far, even it hasn't been particularly heavy. I did hear a rumble or two of thunder earlier this afternoon.

Most people interested in CA weather post over on Weather West, as that site is dedicated to California weather and climate. I do the majority of my posting over there, but I do post here from time to time and read these forums on a regular basis as well.

Nice afternoon. One week until Thanksgiving. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Just a few more days of making it around the edge of the next door skyscraper.

Skunk stunk things up

0.46" fell here in Orange with the first wave of the storm yesterday. Hopefully the Friday night / Saturday portion brings measurable rainfall as well! I can smell the difference in the air tonight as it is much damper and it is that classic damp smell that occurs during the late fall and winter months after significant rain events.

I sometimes smell skunks at night here in Orange, and on occasion the smell can be really strong!

Utqiagvik is down to one more day of sunrise/sunset in 2023.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Part 2 of the storm is coming. It was a nice warm day today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Not much rain so far.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Stratiform rain event. Where are the thunderstorms? 

[Thunder98]

This storm is a huge bust here. No Thunderstorms either

[Anti Marine Layer]

The Utqiagvikians better enjoy their 1 hour and 11 minutes of daylight today because after that no more sunrise until January 23, which will have 58 minutes of daylight.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Longyearbyen is even worse than Utqiagvik. They have about 111 days of polar night and 127 days of midnight sun.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Goodnight Utqiagvik 

[Thunder98]

A front came threw and produced some decent rain
