We're finally getting some rain. This morning I woke up to thunder and pouring rain. Right now, another band of rain and thunder is passing through. It's not enough to get us out of our severe drought, but it sure is welcome. I guess you could call it a celebration because it has been months since we've had any significant rain. π€Έπ»ββοΈ
shareI wish I was there. Its still so hot here. Every year I say I can't take it anymore. 97 yesterday. I think eventually I'll move to Vermont or New Hampshire.
shareInteresting that summer is returning here for the weekend - highs in the mid- to upper 80s and muggy. I guess I can deal with a few more days of it.
shareI live in Los Angeles and it hardly ever rains here and I haven't seen a thunderstorm in decades. But that's okay by me. I like sunny weather.
sharedude there were like 13 atmospheric rivers earlier this year. Mammoth was open until August.
shareMammoth is not in Los Angeles and it tends to rain more in the mountains. Sure, there have been some serious rainstorms this year but it still hardly rains in Los Angeles.
shareWe all heard a lot about the snow on Mt. Baldy this year... so I assume the LA Basin got more rain and storms than usual this year.
shareI'm glad you got some relief! Meanwhile, New York City was totally flooded today.

Congratulations! I know itβs a relief, and we are still waiting in ours.
Iβm 51 and this has been the hottest and driest summer here in Louisiana in my memory. Iβve been flooding the ground around my fruit trees for months, itβs been so bad.
Our summer was the driest since 1988, and I was around for that one. Endless days of hot, muggy days. We had no air conditioning in the house, so I spent much of the summer sitting in front of a fan with a wet dishtowel around my neck. Before the next summer, we installed AC.
This summer we had a month's worth of muggy days in the 90s. Normal is about ten days during the entire summer. No central air in my current home, but last summer I bought a small window unit so at least I have some relief when it gets bad.
Bit of a misty drizzle in the hills today.
