YEP, THAT'S RAIN!

Most folks think it rains all the time if your address is in Oregon. But the truth is that our part of the state (Southern Oregon) gets about the same rainfall as the North State (of California) or even the Bay Area (22" average per year). In the last few years, we've all experienced well below average water years. So we're happy to get some early autumn rain to dampen down the dust and reduce the fire danger from "Extreme" to just "High." It means that I can use the lawn mower before 1 pm instead of having to get it done before 10 am. Looks like we're getting close to .40" from this early storm. We say, "Bring it on!" Let's see...where did I hang that raincoat I haven't used in 3 years?
