The Storm Arrives

Raining in San Francisco,

Yesterday was an extremely wet and windy day in the bay area. We had winds up to 100 mph and torrents of rain. I had a power outage at home and on my way to work, Market St was closed because scaffolding had blown down into the street. This meant traffic, including the buse and trams, couldn't move so I ended up having a half hour walk that felt like taking a cold power shower.

Even though it was miserable, it was still welcome to have this much rain which lessens the chances of water restrictions as we get closer to the spring time.

Also snow is being dumped like crazy in the Tahoe area so skiing should be brilliant these coming weeks!
