The rain was not quite driving for most of the day today. Indeed for part of the day the rain was more like a steady, easy drizzle. Still I was cold and wet while moving leaves with a cyclonic back pack blower.
I'm enjoying being out and about seeing the beauty of Northern CA and noticing that Lake Shasta is about 4-6 feet (estimated by me) from crest. This rain, depending on how widespread it is may actually push the state into using the emergency spillway... Yipe! I live down stream from that!
