As storms go,
this one has been far from a doozy (40 mph winds, 2-7 inches of rain, mostly the former). The Bay Area has been so parched, however, that the weather has made the headlines. (And there
will be storm hype, i.e., pictures of fallen trees and flooded areas, but really, we've seen a lot worse.)
On Monday the news anchors will breathlessly report how many inches have been added to the snowpack, and hydrologists will tell us that seven or eight more storms will be needed to end the drought.

Of course, it won't be news until we get quotes from politicians, who will say that the emergency is still on and that we urgently need to conserve water.
On the bright side I won't have to bother watching the local news over the weekend.
