After not having any rain at all for the first 17 days in January, we've had 2.12" through yesterday. Already today, we are at .35" and today is suppose to be the wettest of the last 4 days. It's very unusual for so many storms to be coming through here at one time. In between storms, we have some pretty strong winds. The highest gust that we recorded yesterday was only 16 MPH, but our weather station is a little shielded by neighboring RV's so it's not a true reading of the wind. There is also lots of snow in the mountains.
It's difficult doing any maintenance as a result of the rain. There are complaints from people in the low areas of the park about the flooding in their sites. There is nothing that can be done about that since there is no place to drain the water. This is just a freak, stormy period, and they are the unfortunate ones to be in the low sites. There will be more of the same today, so I'm not sure how long I'll be working. Josie has already finished her schedule for the week.
The free time today will be used to begin preparation for our trip north. Josie will do her normal "girl" stuff this morning - nails, pedicure, hair, etc. We need to go to Costco to stock up on some non food items like trash bags and paper products. We're not sure at this point when we will see another Costco. There is a Walmart in Sonora that is being upgraded to a super store so that will probably be our best bet for those kinds of purchases while up north.
The timing for the rain is also bad for the golf tournament that started this week -The Bob Hope Classic. We have planned to go on Saturday, but may stay home if the rain continues. The forecast for Saturday is nice so we are hoping to go. That's about it for now...
