It never stopped here, 10 year record drought and high winds never stopped for was supposed to be winter. First measurable rain last night since last September....
So yes, we're experiencing that too

So yes, we're experiencing that too
We started off good, in December we were 136% of normal for the month.
After that, almost nothing.
The last time I looked, we are now at 61% of our avg totals.
Most of our snowpack comes in during Dec, March and April and it just not there again this year.
The South Western US is a tinder box already.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. We have been having our annual March thru June daily thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. No fires, but lots of landslides.

Thanks JJ, it's almost a yearly thing to prepare for fire evacuation up here now.
What is your average rainfall there?

We're getting a crew in to do the "firewise" thing around the house. Since the town almost burned two years ago it seemed like a good idea.
Last year we had 260 rainy days, with total rainfall of 180.29 inches (15+ ft.). Alejandria has a cool tropical rainforest climate due to altitude (5800 ft above sea level). It has very heavy rainfall year-round.

That's a incredible amount of rain,
I now understand the mud slides.
We used to avg about 32", but that has been declining in recent years.
What we really need is snowpack, that melt feeds everything around here.

Did you move, or is that another building?
I remember the picture on your QSL, this looks much bigger.

Same building. Added a second floor, and added rooms on each end of the 1st floor.
So, here we go again.

This is why I want to live underground... I wouldn't have to worry about tornadoes, hail, falling trees, burglars, wildfires, expensive heating and cooling bills or a nosey tax man... With how cheap LCD tv's are getting, a few cameras outside and I'd have some really cool windows too!\
Fire got close to us last summer...
