Christmas Day brought wind, rain (.83”) and snow down to 3,000 feet nearby, a nice winter storm with a little runoff – however Dry Creek has yet to make it this far down the canyon. Typically, the creek arrives in the first week of December even without the benefit of major storms, when the sycamores and other trees quit taking water – an indication, perhaps, of the cumulative effect of our recent dry years. This year, however, the timing and rainfall amounts have been sufficient to keep the grass coming, 32 degrees this morning.
Robbin and I are enjoying the kids and grandkids, ready for another round today. Merry Christmas all!!
