The rain distribution has been very uneven and, for me, disappointing. We got over 2 inches of rain last Thursday here in San Diego, which most people didn't get elsewhere. But then starting Sunday "all of S. Calif" was supposed to really get it hard all week. We got about 1/2 inch Sunday night, and it hasn't rained a drop since. Meanwhile LA is flooded. Not fair! It's really been kinda strange--apparently the southern end of the storm track has been about San Clemente. Normally I prefer dry weather if given a choice, but these past few years we'll take any rain we can get! So a week like this one with lots of promise and no results is, well, discouraging. Seems the NWS folks aren't very good at predicting this. Last night I went to bed with the official forecast saying a 70% chance of getting 1" of rain during the night. It was completely clear when I went to bed at 11 p.m. and only about 50% overcast this morning. Quit looking at the satellite photos and look at the sky, guys! --Jim
