The seasonal creek that goes through our property started flowing water yesterday, December 12th, after receiving 9.14 inches of rain since October 1, the start of the water year (WY). Last year it started flowing December 11th after 11 inches of rain from the start of the WY. In 2019 it started flowing December 21 after 6.59 inches from the start of the WY. More rain in the forecast with a chance of snow at lower elevations. Sure beats summer and the fire threat.
