It's raining!

Raining?!!

This seems like a rather early start to the rainy season, but according to the stats in the paper it's actually somewhat late: average is to have had .24" by now.

I may have to skip my walk this morning...

It has rained this early before. In 1989, the Ren Faire was rained out the weekend of the Loma Prieto Quake and the weekend before.

Noted. As it says in the Merc, a "normal" season has already had a quarter-inch of rain by now. Lord knows we need it.

In '78, the heavens opened and the Renfaire parking lot turned into a mud wallow. Not only did we all look like refugees from an Ingmar Bergman movie, getting vehicles out got distinctly tricky, as the site reverted to its winter personna of "wetlands."

it's the contrast

I think the reason it seemed like a shock was the sudden temperature drop from the day before. One day, it was summer, the next it was breathing anticipation of Jack Frost. And technically it was still "summer"--the first day of autumn is Wednesday.
