Rain, Glorious Rain

I came over to Fremont around 3 PM today to pay for the repairs to my minivan. It rained quite a bit this morning, then cleared for a while. As I pulled up to park near my mechanic's shop, I had the odd situation of seeing it rain fairly heavily directly in front of me, and not at all behind me. With the patchy conditions, the situation was picture-perfect.



This rainbow stretched over Fremont. I hope it's a sign that we'll get lots more rain, regularly, all this season. And lots of snow in the Sierra. Things are so far behind that I think we need two super-wet seasons to have any hope of making a dent in the backlog.

I paid for the work on my minivan. Cory-my-mechanic told me that he's prospectively ordered parts for a repair to my driver's side door, which I know needs fixing. We'll work out arrangements with him again sometime. I also plan to, when finances permit, have him replace the rear springs in the Rolling Stone and also redo the brakes. Maybe in January, assuming all goes well.

I want this El Niño to put lots of snow in the Serrias, the ranges further south in California, the Wasatch, the Kaibab Platau, The Southern Rockies, etc. Preferably, without depriving the Cascades and the ranges of the Inland Northwest in the process.
