It was supposed to be raining here this morning and rain for the next three days. So far this is the warmest and nicest morning we have had in a week and NO rain. I saw in the paper yesterday that one of the Marinas has vanished and the house boats are now setting on a sand bar. In the pictures that I posted of the lake, one showed the old Highway 99 bridge, and they are having ton use cranes to try and get the house boats out of the and and silt, then take the tops off to bloat them under that bridge and take them to another marina that still has enough water for them to dock. Some of them are just going to have to stay until the lake comes up enough again to float them. So far we have had abut 4 1/2" of rain and they are going crazy as that is way above average, but I don't think using the past 3 years when we had none or at most an inch is much of a way to figure the average. Everyone is so desperate for a wet Winter they will try anything to make it look as if we are going to have one. We could use about 80" this Winter with a very deep snow pack in the mountains to get things back to normal.
