Weather Art Thou, Post?

Since I can't find the post I thought I posted yesterday, instead I am posting the post I thought I posted.

It's been raining here. No, really. Apparently it's rained in some parts of southern CA more than all of last year combined. (source). It's not going to do much to help the drought problems though. Pasadena sent out messages warning that ground water reserves were down 60%, etc, and I think the problem with all the rain showing up over a few days is that it's hard to absorb. Maybe it's a sign it'll rain a little more over the next few weeks? I just wish it wasn't so cold (55F). It looks like the rain's stopped for now, though there's a pretty large storm system up the coast a ways it doesn't appear to be heading this way.

Weather

So, I'm told there's going to be a storm here in CA. I read a quick post on the CNN page about winter storms in the state, saw Sacramento and filed it away. Then while writing down a note, I saw that my weather widget was saying it would be raining today and for three more days. Then it came up again in conversation w/Mylanda later. So I looked, and apparently there are going to be a lot of storms (three different ones!) coming through and so it may be raining a lot. I should go get supplies to help survive the rains. Any suggestions?

Visibility: Limited

Though we are not in the path of any of the recent fires around LA and SD, the effects are definitely noticeable here. The air quality has been extremely poor since the fires started, and now that the winds are dying down the visibility is really poor, I think it's under a mile now easily, though I'm not a great judge of distance. Hopefully things will be under control and clearing up soon.
