Well, not here, at least! The Sierra mountain range in northern California had about 5 ft of snow, maybe more in some spots. The storm was quite varied as it passed different places though – we didn’t get the high winds here or the flooding we were warned about, just nice gentle rainfall most of the day and night.

Today is starting out clear, beautiful and quite gorgeous, although we may still get some showers.

Hi Donna,

I’ve just read in the newspaper that you guys got like 3m of snow (90 ft?). Is that true? :o

And that eye is reading 956 mb according to some of the weather junkies in Vancouver….

That’s just how big this storm was – the center is over Vancouver, but it’s pulled in so much moisture that the outer bands are raining right now in San Diego – yes, this is all one HUGE storm mass.

If the storm is headed for California, how come the weather map shows its eye poised to enter Puget Sound. Despite what Californians think, Washington and Oregon are not the two most northerly counties of the Golden State!
