    I realizes it rains a bit in Florida, but ... 25-plus inches in 24 hours?!?!!

    that's more than most towns out West get in a year.

    Getting 25 inches, as we have this season, is a lot for out West.

    My city got 12 inches last season, 4.5 inches the year before, and 16 inches the year before that.

    And our area is not as much of a desert as some places in California.

    I cannot imagine getting 25 inches in 24 hours. I would probably be watching it, and being afraid that God had broken his promise...

    I thought I heard on one news update that it's a one-day record for all of Florida. If true, considering their tropical weather patterns and hurricanes, that's truly remarkable.

    After I saw the water levels in Fort La-Di-Da, I immediately checked the tidal charts to make sure it was from rain rather than king-tide flooding.

    Usually the two go hand-in-hand. If you have a lot of rain from a big storm, when the tide is high, it doesn't have anywhere to go.

    Yup, we're getting that moisture now. Calling for 1-2 feet of snow in the mountains east of the Divide.

    It's April. Second snowiest month here. I've been here a handful of times with snow on Mother's Day. Plus, let it dump. Fill those reservoirs. Moisture is our friend. As are all down-river states from here.

    And we'll be lucky to record any measurable "official" snow with this storm because the official recording station is the damn airport, which is way out east/in Kansas and this is a classic spring upslope storm. The variables are that extreme.

    And in 2021, we had our latest first snow of the season -- Dec. 10.
