Out Like a Lion

Speaking of rain (sorry, you can take the boy off the farm... but he'll still talk weather), all those watches and warnings were on the money. There are downed trees scattered around in surprising places, and the news is filled with the record flooding, high tides, landslides, road closures and power outages. SF got nearly 3 inches of rain, which puts us at nearly 10 for the month. And given that the entire annual average is about 20 inches, well, you can see that December has been rather soggy.

Take, for example, this shot of I-80... Here's hoping 2006 is a little lamb in comparison.
