Woke up this morning to a steady, light rain drumming on the roof.

[Adsos Letter]

It's been coming down steady all day, with the occasional heavy spell. Supposed to continue through tomorrow.

Man, I do love the rain.

[Nictuku]

1. Me too. We have had a pretty dry winter so far.

I just happen to be staying home sick (flu), and my commute would have me out standing in the rain a bit, so I guess today is a good day to stay home and listen to the rain all day.

This flu is a doozy!! I don't think I'll make it in tomorrow either.

3. I hope you get through it soon.

My wife is a nurse, and she says this year's strain is a nasty one.

7. Let the stoopy goggie out to do her business, but instead of coming back inside

and out of the pouring rain, she decides to go splash in every puddle and run through the mud. Rain doesn't happen too often here in the desert, so it is a novel experience and I could not tempt her to come inside. She played like a puppy, and not even a peanut butter sammich, or hors d'oeuvres made with the stinky kitteh noms she always tries to filch, could get her attention. I finally had to close the door and watch her through the window as she had fun in rain until she was finally ready to come inside.

An hour later and I finally have her mostly dry, she has a thick, warm double coat with very long hair, so she isn't wet to the skin. I'm exhausted, but my big girl ate her treats and now she's happily dozing, oblivious to muddy, hairy mess on the kitchen floor and the huge pile of dirty towels to be laundered.

Its still raining. I'm too tired for a repeat.

8. So now you will enjoy the essence of wet dog.

9. Oooh, the aroma of Eau de Drenched Furbaby, mixed with fishy kitteh food

and puffs of Tropical Flower Power air freshener, is definitely a memorable combination!

11. Raining all day in Sacramento.

It's been very heavy at times, coming down hard. I hear we can expect a decent snow pack in the mountains, too.

[Adsos Letter]

12. I hopethe prediction for snow pack is fulfilled.

We came over the Sierras from Idaho at Christmas. Not much snow then.

[silverweb]

13. I hope so, too.

We'll need that melting snow come summer.

[nocalflea]

14. I'm incredibly greatful for the rain and hoping for an above average snowpack.

December was so dry I was getting nervous. 🆘️🌧🆘️

[Adsos Letter]

15. I agree.

Not much snow when we came over the Sierras on 80 at Christmas; hopefully, that will begin to change.
