Its Raining, Its Pouring, The Old Man is Snoring
The weather has not let up for the last couple of weeks. If this rain keeps up, the claims for drought retrictions will have to be lifted. As it is, our water table is down about fifty percent and we will need a couple of years of good rains to bring it back to normal. Drought conditions here is the soutwest have really been terrible for the last 5 or 6 years.
According to Susan Kitchens of 2020hindsight.org, the average rainfall in Los Angeles is 17.6 inches per year. Somehow I thought it was a little lower than that but its a good starting place. So far this year we have to be over that already don't you think. By the way, Susan has a wonderful blog powered by WordPress and is worth looking at.
Now the moment you have all been waiting for. I will warm up the old vocal cords a bit first ..... mee, mee, meee, meeeeee .... aye, ee, ahh, ohh, ooooooo! I am ready now. Mistro, strike up the orchestra:
Its Raining
It's raining, It's pouring,
The old man is snoring;
He went to bed
And bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.
Did you enjoy that. I knew you would. Nothing like a little singing to get over the rain outside. Everything is true except the bumping the head part.

Hi there! thanks for linking to my site and the recommendation for your readers to go there. I'm a near neighbor, one city east of you (for strange reasons, unknown even to myself, I don't go blabbing the city I'm in). So rainfall totals I'm talking about are generally the same as where you are. In fact, one gauge I'm following from Weather Underground is from Arcadia north of Foothill. 11.13 inches so far this year.
Oh, and by the way, in the "just make sure they spell your name right" department, my name is Susan Kitchens. :)
