Jeez, kind of a cold rain for Ensenada. 51 degrees and raining, right on the coast at mid day?
What's the snow level in SoCal from this storm?

I have been wanting to hear some rain related news. Met some surfers who got soaked up in mid peninsula over a week ago! Peskys had been warm and
balmy at night the last week but last night got cold; low sixties. Cloudy this morning and the ocean shows signs of wind and it's blowin now. No
rain down here but it's feelin like winter/Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho. Tomas

Not SoCal, but in Northern Arizona, Flagstaff is expecting 12" of snow tonight, 20" above 8,000'. Overnight, snow level is lowering to around 3,000'.
Right now in Sedona, Cottonwood, and Camp Verde it's 41 with heavy rain - a white Christmas tonight, eh?

I drove north from Vizcaino through the dirt road to BOLA on the 23rd, and it drizzled all the way. At that point, it was just enough to settle the
dust, and the road had been recently graded (except from Dagget's Camp to town).
It rained quite a bit more while I was driving through the new construction on Mex 5, and it was already becoming a mess! Not muddy, but lots of
standing water on the flats, and the finer material was starting to wash on the grades.
It rained hard that night where I stopped between Gonzaga and Puertecitos. Lots of rocks on the road on the new section of pavement!
It rained off and on all the way through San diego!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

We got about 18 inches of snow in Big Bear in the last 24 hours.
We're at 7,000 feet. I used the snow blower to clear the drive way. Thank goodness for the electric start. I also finally got around to outting
chains on the blower. Made a big difference.
I'm planning in riding down to Ensenada tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, it won't be wet. Then up to Tecate, and over to SF and down to Gonzaga and then
to Mulege.
I flew over Laguna Hanson last weekend. It was dry then. Maybe there's water in there now.

As to Rt. 1, the trucks are still rolling through Mulege both ways so things can't be balled up too bad.

I have mixed emotions about Coco having been stopping in there for an embarrassing number of years.
One one hand he has a good heart and has been a savior to many, many travelers. On the other hand all the damned women's underwear hanging up is just
gross. Sometimes he could use a hosing off too.

The reports from the ham net have been of cold North winds all the way down to Mulege. Down to 49 at Catavina at 5. p.m.
Probably not a good week for getting your tan in order.
