Rain: A Little More Rain (March 14-15, 2022 and March 27)

We had a little rain in the early morning hours of March 14-15. We got 0.45 inches of new precipitation at my location in northeastern Santa Rosa. That brings our total for the 2021-2022 rain year to 22.45 inches. Every little bit helps, but we are woefully behind normal rainfall levels. By this time of year, we should have had about 34 inches. We got off to an excellent start early in the season, but have had almost no rain (until last night) since early in January save for a couple of tenths of an inch on one day in February. Rain is in the forecast again for Thursday, March 17. Let it rain....

[Edit: The rain predicted for the 17th failed to materialize, but a small storm passed through on March 27. It dropped 0.9 inches of rain at my location, bringing our total now to 23.35 inches--still very low, but better.]

[Edit: On 13 April we got about 0.5 inches of new rain and then it rained overnight and into the early morning or 15-16 April, adding another 0.9inches, for a total of about 1.4 inches since last reporting. That brings our total for the current rain year to 24.75 inches. That's a help, and there is rain in the forecast again for the coming week.]

Rain: More Rain (January 7, 2022)

Since last reporting, there has been rain on and off on a number of days—mostly quite light—but we have had an additional 0.65 inches, which brings our total for the current rain year to 22.00 inches. 

Rain: More Rain—Rain expected on and off all week

It rained overnight (December 21-22) and rain is in the forecast every day into next week. We'll see what materializes, but, so far, as of the morning of December 22, we've had 0.70 inches of new rain since last reporting. That brings our total for the year so far to 17.75 inches.  

[Edit: As predicted, we've had more rain. As of of the morning of December 24, we've had another 2.15 inches of precipitation. That brings our total to 19.90 inches--and it's supposed to rain again on Christmas Day and the day after.]

[Edit: We've had another 1.45 inches since last reporting, so our total now stands at 21.35 inches as of the afternoon of December 28.]

Rain: New Storms in the Second Week of December

 A storm that rolled through mostly on December 14 gave us 2.6 inches of new precipitation. Another storm, supposed to hit in a few hours, will likely give us at least another inch or so. At present, however, as of the morning of December 15, our total for the current rain year is now 15.55 inches. 

[On the evening of December 15, the predicted storm moved through, dropping an additional 1.6 inches of new precipitation. That brings our total for this rain year to 17.05 inches. More rain is in the forecast for next week, but today, December 16 is a sunny day in Santa Rosa.]

Rain: A little more rain (November 8-9)

Overnight on November 8-9, we had another storm pass through. It added 1.45 inches of welcome new precipitation to our total for the 2021-2022 rain year. That brings our total to 12.95 inches. The forecasters continue to say this is likely to be a dry winter again, but, so far, we're doing pretty well. Let's hope it continues. 

Rain: A little more after the "atmospheric river"

Last night (October 30) we had 0.35 inches of new rain following the more than 10 inches we got recently in an "atmospheric river" event. That brings our total for the current rain year to 10.80 inches. Tomorrow rain is in the forecast again. 

[Edit: Last night, the night of November 3, we got another 0.70 inches of new precipitation. That brings our total to 11.50 inches for the current rain year.]
