Off-topic, but I've definitely never seen a storm in the Midwest have snow SE of the low and rain to the NW of it. What a weird setup.

My sister is moving to Redding to get some “cali weather”. Idk if I heart to tell her it’s different than San Diego.

Redding, CA had 3.11" for the 24-hour period ending at 4am. They have had 0.56" since then. Incredible rain event.

B.C. hydro isn’t showing restoration times on their website currently. Vancouver Island is down to 28000 customers without power so they are making pretty good progress. Sounds worse in Washington state.

We have been having the same conversations, but the necessities of now often outweigh the planning for the future.
