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!
