This past week saw a couple awesome days of monsoonal flow-fueled massive thunderheads forming up out over the Valley of the Antelope beyond the Mountains of Saint Gabriel (as illustrated by the following trio of in-transit snaps I took of the magnificence this Thursday): It brought to memory a hot late-summer day seven years ago …
December 7 will live in infamy for obvious historical reasons. The amount of rainfall caught in our backyard precipitometer yesterday will live in insignificance, to the tune of barely more than a third of an inch, or 0.393″ (or 1 centimeter if you’re in a metric frame of mind). Season To Date: 2.82″ December 7: …
Yesterday’s something-of-a-surprise storm did more than I’d expected, but first I gotta play catch-up because indeed after last week’s initial weather system brought us almost and inch of rain onto our Silver Lake backyard precipitometer, the day after ended up delivering a little sumpin’ extra that I failed to follow-up with, to the tune of …

My iPhone’s weather app is still trumpeting the possibility of a scattered shower or two throughout the day and even into the night, but it seems a remote possibility, any amount of which might be added to our backyard precipitometer would at best be negligible. So as things stand this morning, the total from what’s …
