Weather roundup....

> The week of December 7 thru 13 saw three systems roll through California dumping a total of just over 3 inches in that span recorded by my rain gauge here. The first system, Dec 7/8 brought significant snows (up to 4") down to sea-level in northern and central California, and dumped over 1.52" of rain here. The next two systems rolled in Dec 11 thru 14 with a total of 1.54" combined, and walloping the area with 50-70mph winds on Saturday night (Dec 13th) along with the rains. Many areas around Southern California had significantly higher rainfal amounts. There was also considerable tree and property damage around my community from the long period of 50mph winds that rake my community.

> A potent low pressure system passed through SoCal overnight Mon/Tue Dec 21/22 dropping only about .10" of rain in a several quick downpour bursts, but it was followed by periods of high winds gusting to over 70mph in some areas. As of this writing winds here are still gusting up to 30mph.
