Obligatory weather blog

If you haven't looked outside today, Mother Nature is not in a charitable mood. There's cold, biting wind, smattering rain, grey skies ...

OK, so check that. From California's standpoint, this is Mother Nature at her most giving.

So far, we've only got 4.2-inches and change of recorded rain in Tracy, which leaves us about 5 inches short of our annual request. And this year, our water need is especially dire.

So pile it on, Mama. We need all the wet you've got.
