winter rain in Pasadena

Never rains in California…except in winter

Even though the local weather people didn’t tell us, this must be an El Nino year. With this current storm system, a “pineapple express” is bringing in rain from the tropics and the total rainfall will be close to double the amount we normally get by this time of year. The worst of this storm is supposed to be in my neighborhood in about an hour.

rainstorm in California on Feb 2 2019
Looking north through my livingroom window towards the San Gabriel Mountains, which are invisible in the rain.
The same view as above but taken from outside on my balcony. The San Gabriels are still invisible. The little tree on the lower right is a Eureka lemon tree . It used to be taller than the roof on the right, but has died back during the recent drought years.
