I love the Happy California Cows commercial where the cows all run panicky from a puffy cloud, and one of them says, "I hate the rainy season!" I think it's one of the most clever in the whole series. Well... the real rainy season has begun as of yesterday. A big storm has moved in off the Pacific, dropping rain all over the Bay Area and Valley, and depositing several feet of snow in the Sierras. The resorts are loving it. Last year we had quite a bit of rain about a month earlier, and people were skiing by early November. We haven't been here long enough to know for sure, but I think this year is closer to normal. Soon the hills will change from this "golden" color to.......
something more like this green. It happens slowly over the next coupld of months, but, trust me, by February, the hills will be luch and beautiful.
In the mean time, we'll try to enjoy the "rainy season" and hope the skiiers and snow boarders appreciate the white stuff.
