Another 1.41 inches of rain since the last report, bringing us up to 6.21 inches out of the recent atmospheric river storms. Fortunately, these storms did not have the very strong gusty winds that led to so many downed trees and power lines over Christmas, so no power outages this time. The rain is still soaking into the soil at this point, so no major landslides in our area. Ocean conditions were severe at the beginning of the period, but calmed by the end, so boats could go out. There is no rain in the immediate forecast, and we have just over half the needed rain to ensure no water restrictions in the dry season.  So, fingers crossed for more, hopefully, not severe rain. Our gardens are full of birds feeding on the seed and suet we put out, and a dozen of the delightful migrant Yellow-rumped Warblers were hawking insects out of one of our trees this week. It's been a good bird count season thus far.
