My sis in Redondo says it's pouring... so it's probably raining a little there.

This weak storm produced some of the heaviest rain of the season about 30 minutes ago.

Started at 11:00PM up here. Several cells with very hard rain during the night.

I don't want to sound like a broken record but I honestly can't remember the last time it rained that hard. I woke up around 12:30 thinking a jet was about to crash into my apartment!

Anyone with a lot of experience have any thoughts on whether we'll need chains to drive up this weekend? Looks like this will be a nice weekend with some fresh powder!

Always bring them. However this late in the season its more likely that unless there is an unusually large dump the sun will be melting any snow on pavement very quickly.

Just had some thunder up here! I thought it was trash can thunder at first.

^^^ Is that the name of the bear they didn't catch - Thunder. Getting into the trash cans.

damn! up to 1.35" after little t-storm... this was a good April producer.

Ha ha! The bear and Oblivious Texting Guy have even made it into the UK tabloids. I just saw an article at the Daily Mail.

OK TksHiRd you are pulverizing my rain totals this season. Even counting today's brief showers I only have .75" from this event. Now the ground is dry.
