It's raining. It's pouring.

Maybe, just maybe we're finally going to have a little Sacramento weather after all.  For the past two months it's looked like Southern California's "marine layer" of clouds around here - no rain but no sun either.  Some have even described it as "high level fog" as opposed to the tule fog we often have in the spring where the fog hugs the ground and convinces drivers that "out of sight, out of existence" leading to some horrible accidents.

But today we had real weather, buckets and buckets of real weather.  It appeared to me that drivers were, on the whole, being somewhat more careful, especially when they couldn't see even with the wipers going at full speed.  Fortunately, the cloudbursts were exactly that - bursts.  In between, there was the steady rain that doesn't overwhelm the ground or the windshield wipers.  We could use more of that.
