Wet Weather: Dampening the Scoldings

December snow in Tahoe, which is under flood watch

We're ending the year with a series of storms.

Headline: Entire Bay Area under flood watch this weekend as more storms roll in

A flood watch will be in effect for the Bay Area from Friday evening to Saturday evening as more rain arrives in the region, according to the National Weather Service.

Moderate to heavy rain is expected during that time frame, and it could be more than already saturated soils can absorb.

Rapid rises of rivers, streams and creeks are expected, the National Weather Service said, and urban areas and roadways with poor drainage may see flooding...

A brief reprieve is expected on New Year’s Day before more rain moves in, the National Weather Service said.

I'm sure the nattering nabobs of global warmism will insist one rainy season doesn't make up for years of dryness and that we should continue to conserve water, but I'm taking this year by year.

Let's be thankful that there won't be mandated cutbacks and usage penalties next summer and even more thankful that the drought/climate alarmists will dampen, somewhat, the volume of their scoldings.
