Been raining for the last two (2) days here in California.
2.50"-3.50" of rain, depending on location, has fallen here in SoCal
the last 24 hours.
Three (3) more days of rain forecast.
As much as 15" of additional rain forecast in the lower mountain
elevations, mucho feet of snow in the higher elevations.
As the lyric of that old CW tune goes:
"Throw another log on the fire,"
"Hustle up another cup of tea."
Hunkered down in SoCal.

I like our banana belt weather in Whitehorse. Give me the -25 to -20
Celsius, a centimetre or so of light fluffy snow rather than your
deluges of rain or snow. :-)

Two (2) days turned into a week and 7" of rain outside my window, then
it was Christmas eve.
And now it's Christmas night and the rains are back.
Oh well, throw another log on the fire.............

Actually it's time to toss another log on the fire, and start serving
Rusty Nails, AKA: Knuckle Heads, AKA: Bloomer Droppers, or whatever
floats your boat.

Your rainstorm is becoming a nightmarish traveltime for the east coast.
Boston & NY are expecting foot and a half amounts of snow ...
I do not envy your mudskides, though ...

Nothing in SW KS (promise was only inch, anyway, but any is better than
none).
Ditto on the could use; it's dry and getting drier...winter wheat is
_barely_ hanging on where it did come up and much wasn't even drilled or
was "dusted in" and hasn't had enough moisture since to germinate...
