1. Yay

[Qanisqineq]

2. None since May?

Wow, I lived just east of San Fran for two years. I left this last winter. Anyway, it never rained. California was great but I can't live somewhere without rain!

6. One year

We had one year where it rained once, as I recall. Just once. I believe it was 2014.

3. The rains are coming early this year.

California only has 2 seasons...wet and dry. I sort of miss it...especially when it snowing and icing here.

4. We do have "mini seasons"

Lively springs and gorgeous Autumns (my favorite)

Winters here, I like, since there is no snow (except in the mountains), just the lovely r-a-i-n

Summer, less so (too damn hot & sunny, IMO-- monotonous!)

And I'm a native

5. Please!

I'm a bit lol at "first rain in months." Did they expect it to rain in June or July?

Still, this is good news.

7. My magic 8 Ball says

The rain will be mostly to the north, and barely a measurable amount; just enough to mess with the windshields.

Debbie Downer, I am, but if you send me three dollars, I'll wash my car and guarantee a good downpour.

8. You're probably right-- but I'm hopeful the storm door will be opening, even if just a little

9. Hey-- it did sprinkle a little here late morning

I noticed that wonderful smell of petrichor-- and knew rain was imminent. Smelled it before I saw it. Then there it was-- not a huge downpour but considered precip however you look at it.

10. What a cool word, I'd never heard it before

But I do love that scent after the rain...

11. I never knew what it was until a friend told me

Love it, too.

Though now, it's windy and sunny
