They --- the scientists counted every tree and itemized them in their computer machines.
All 58 million.
Not 58 million and not one more.
The all knowing machine is always perfect .....

To be exact, 57,999,998 trees.
Two of mine didn't make it through the weekend.
We had a *wind event* here Saturday, which isn't as much fun as it sounds.

Saw a headline story in Esquire yesterday, "Tahoe gets 6.4 billions gallons of water in 24 hrs".
Story was actually linked/aggregated from SFGate back on Dec 22, big lake and a few billion gals equals less than 2" rise in lake level:
More than 6 billion gallons of water have poured into Lake Tahoe in less than two days, helping the lake begin to recover from four years of crushing drought.
Since midnight Monday, the lake has gone up 1.92 inches, the equivalent of 6.39 billion gallons of water, according to the National Weather Service. The water comes as a winter storm slams the Sierra, bringing several feet of snow to higher elevations and rain at lake level, which sits at roughly 6,223 feet.

Soggy in Santa Monica. Of course I noticed a missing tile on my roof this morning after the dump had started.

Sposed to rain for five consecutive days in San Diego.
Sierra-wise
1/4/2016
Snowpack at Mt. Rose near Reno is at about 110 percent of normal for this date, a welcome change after several seasons of extreme drought throughout the Sierra Nevada.
It's hard to find dates, but this appears to be 12/30/2015.
In an anxiously watched rite of winter, state Department of Water Resources surveyor Frank Gehrke weighed a tube of snow at Echo Summit and found it held 16.3 inches of water, about 136 percent of the historical average for the site. To get to the site, he trudged through snow more than 4.5 feet deep -- about 1.5 feet deeper than average.

Woot for wet weather..
Does anyone have a link to specific information about how much rain/snow fell in yosemite during the 96/97 flood?
I found this site, but it doesn't list yosemite or the merced river drainage.
http://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/storm_summaries/jan1997storms.php
It has an interactive map, but it still only shows lower elevations outside the park, such as near oakhurst.
I believe the park got between 25 and 30 inches of rain in those 4 to 9 days, but can't find the info.

Yeah, I have a leaking roof, and it's only five years old.

DJI Phantom 3 Pro FatShark Dominator V3?
Trying out my new Fatshark FPV goggles. It's way easier getting into and out of areas while wearing the Fatsharks. The 720p from the goggles is pretty good. I highly recommend these if you have a P3P and you want to get into FPV.
Apparently you mount them on your drone and get a very stable image.
Anyway, Otay appears to have a good amount of water (12/27/2015).

Tad, judging by your yards you could have some trouble over the next week with up to 15" of rain forecast in northern california.
Started snowing here at 5500' in the Pah Rah range. Hopefully the Sierra, just 30 miles east, will wring out most of moisture. The local GID doesn't plow the last 1/4 mile of road to my place.

They're calling it the Godzilla El Nino.
I just hope that it puts lots of snow in the mountains, but would prefer rain in the valleys.
