Southern California Rainfall April 10, 2020, 12:22:08 pm Southern California Rainfall is sporadic from year to year. As of 4am Friday, Serrano Campground at Big Bear Lake has received 15 inches of snow over the last 6 days. Our home in rural San Diego has received 3.4 inches of rain in the same period, more rain than we received in all of 2018. A few more wet years like this are still needed.The plants are enjoying this. Now, if we can just avoid a big earthquake while the ground is soggy...Harold 3 Likes
Re: Southern California Rainfall Reply #1 – April 10, 2020, 02:06:48 pm Santa Barbara County is doing well this year - not quite as wet as last year, and certainly not in the top ten years on record. But Cachuma, which is our primary water supply, has benefited greatly from the rains last year and this!http://countyofsb.org/pwd/rainhistory.sbcWarren 1 Likes

Re: Southern California Rainfall Reply #4 – April 10, 2020, 07:39:18 pm Here in northern NV, we've had much fresh snow around the Lake Tahoe basin and hear that Mammoth was expecting a foot or more of fresh snow. I'm sure June Lake has gotten some. Convict Lake can be downright cold this time of year, so they may have been "dusted", too. The snow level has hovered around 7.500 ft, though we woke to a dusting (4,800ft) the other morning. What is hitting the San Diego area today will probably circle around and get us in a few days. Yes, we need the water, so no complaints. :-)Stay well and be safe out there,Juli WMinden, NV 2 Likes
