Sounds like an active pattern. But think about it, it's a far cry from the serious drought u guys were facing. While the drought is still serious, we can say the precipitation is adding to a better outlook for America's southwest. Maybe the lakes will begin to fill up closer to capacity after this winter is all said and done with.

Sounds like u had a rough night last night. You said 60 mph winds and snow?? Man, that's rough.

[Stephanie]

Yes, this will help *somewhat* with the drought "IF" and ONLY IF it keeps it up, we've got 7 years of defecits to make up, let's hope like heck it DOES keep coming!

OH....it's NOT gonna be QUITE as cold tomorrow as they said, wind chills of -2 to -12

Kind of sounds like what we had with our rain! Some areas had 60-65 MPH winds with the rain! :o

[Josephine96]

That is cold I am not a big fan of the cold. Having winds that strong to go with it doesn't help either.

[azsnowman]
