RECORD RAINFALL IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

 After looking at the CoCoRaHS precipitation map today I see record rainfall all over northern California. 

One station in Nevada County reported 9.30 inches in a 24 hour period ending this morning.  One station near Meyers, in El Dorado County, where my son lives, reported 8.40 inches.   My son tells me they have received 8 inches of wet snow today on top of all that rainfall.   Definitely put an end to fire season there. 

No records set here with a total rainfall of 2.83 inches so far this month, beating the 30 average of 2.73 inches.  Rainfall for October 2020 was only 1.97 inches here.   Could be a wet winter.
