The Weather Thread

[Obsidian]

We're up to 3.4 inches of rain here in Simi. It's been coming down pretty steady for several hours.

Wow, that is a significant amount of rain.

It is dead calm here in OC and the rain is barely coming down.

DEAD CALM

Great Creepy Movie...

The gauges around me are all showing 4 - 5 inches at the base of the mountain. Front side trails will be nice in a couple days. The Gab, however, will be off limits for another month, unless you have a kayak...

Heck of a dog-leg…

I don't know how much we got, but I won't be riding until next weekend at the earliest. It was never really that heavy, but it rained all day long.

So far about 2” in laguna beach at my house. No flooding issues.
Power was out from 6:00-7:30 at my mother in laws house a few blocks over

Felt like we got a little eye of the storm calm here in HB when it did that dog leg..just means the measured low pressure point drifted (my amateur understanding)

This thing is a dud, LOL. Based on friends and family contacting me from other parts of the country, the media is apparently treating it like the end of the world.

Last winter's 9 feet of snow in one week at Mt. High was a much more spectacular national news story.
But as others have said, better to warn people to be prepared than not to do so.

Wow, that 8.84 is significant wherever that is.

 

[herzalot]

Another burst of storm just hit us - STRONG wind and solid rain.

 

[bvader]

Getting Some in HB !

 

[Rumpled]

Wow, that 8.84 is significant wherever that is.

Looks to be on the North Flank of San Gorgonio. Maybe near Jenks Lake?

Yeah, right where it burnt from the El Dorado fire

Hwy 38 is shut down from Forest Falls to Onyx Summit:

Nothing good happening up there tonight...

 

[evdog]

Didn't you guys get hit by about 20 storms this big last winter?

 

[Faust29]

I don't know how much we got, but I won't be riding until next weekend at the earliest. It was never really that heavy, but it rained all day long.

The gauge closest to me is showing 6 inches since yesterday, and it's still coming down nicely. A couple of the gauges farther up the hill recorded a little more... Hero dirt in a day or two!

The front side trails all handle water really well- Upper Merrill, Middle Merrill and Sunset. The exception will be El Prieto, which still had flowing water crossings from the winter storms.

 

[Y-not]

We had 1/10" to 1/4" so far. The ground is wet but nothing is flowing. Looking like a local ride tomorrow.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

We got 5" in my gauge and although it's ugly out there, it seems to have stopped.

Palm Canyon got some!... Curious to hear about the flows today...

 

[Y-not]

It's not the rain that I have a problem with, it's the humidity. I was outside working on "Duck City" and all it took was 10 minutes to be completly soaked in sweat. If I was on my bike I wouldn't care.

Forest Falls... Palm Springs Hammered too!

 

[Danimal]

I'm just a mile it so from the Luge, and as mentioned above it was a constant mellow rain. Had a small amount of wind for a short time but nothing close to the Santa Anas we get. Nice to get the moisture, seems my plants liked it!

On a good note, just 2 weeks ago my balcony had all new deck and water proofing, as it has some good size cracks. Good timing or I might be repairing the neighbors patio ceiling too.

 

[scan]

Wow, actually had real weather and rain!!

 

[mtnbikej]

 

[scan]

Lotta damage there!!

 

[bvader]

Totally wonder with that road that comes down from the gondola is like if it's even there...

 

[Cyclotourist]

And that kids is why you don't build in a flood plain!
