The Hall of Mediocrities

After Sacramento rainy season rainfall cratered to 28% of normal last month, the recent storms have brought rainfall up to 48% of normal. So, the 2020/21 rainy season has recovered enough to enter the hall of mediocrities rather than the hall of disasters. The closest comparison is to the 1897/98 rainy season, which is remembered by meteorologists for - not a damned thing! 

When this storm passes, we'll have a warm-up. We always seem to have a warm-up on February 5th. The Japanese Plum tree in the back yard starts to flower - a harbinger of spring - and maybe a harbinger of a decline in Covid-19 numbers as people start spending more time outside. 

We have to do better on the rain, though....
