California's Winter

We will be having rain and cooler temperatures this weekend. Now you may think what is the big deal ... well, this is winter for California. Our snow is the rain. This is rain that we so desperately need. We have been so dry for so long. It will mean snow for the mountains which will help the ski season and also to provide water for the state. We are expecting temperatures during the day to be in the 50's and overnight in the 40's (temperatures in the mountains will be colder). Snow may be down as far as 5,000 feet, These temperatures won't last long but for now it is a big deal to us Californians'. We are having high surf at the beaches with the surf being as high as 15 feet. Rain will be starting tomorrow night into the weekend.

We have had to leave our cars out of the garage because the "apron" of the garage had to fixed. They dug up some asphalt and put down concrete in its place. We were told to not drive across it for 2 weeks. That is a long time to not be able to use your own garage. The concrete has had time to dry some so the rain shouldn't do anything to it.

I guess the colder weather is for us to get use to our trip that will be here soon. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate and we won't have big problems. This is a first for us to fly to one place and then drive to another. We can't wait though. We have all the arrangements made and they have been checked.

We will see everyone very soon.
