Good rain last night and early this a.m., more forecast on and off throughout the week with cooler temperatures.
Dry Creek: 1.0"
Greasy Creek: 1.0"
Paregien: 1.0"
Rainfall amounts in the hills either side of Dry Creek are generally greater than here at our 600 foot elevation. This year we placed gauges at the Greasy Creek corrals, 4 miles east of Dry Creek @ the 1600' elevation and at the Paregien corrals, 2 miles west of Dry Creek @ almost 1800' to quantify what we think we know. Of course the roads are too slick at the moment to get the data, but will be entered when we can get there.
Inclusion of any of this information may not be of particular interest to many, however, in this semi-arid region of California, any moisture and and its measurement becomes a fairly big deal. At the very least, logging it here keeps it accessible to us.
