There might be lots of mud slides associated with this storm though, maybe 50 will close?

Started at 3-5 inches expected. Now its 2-4 inches. I expect half an inch when it finally arrives. My rain gauge said 0 after the first wave. Now it wasn't much but it wasn't 0. I opened up the rain gauge and found a spider living inside. After evicting it my gauge is working again. .3 inches after the last wave. It doesn't take much to close 50 so I'm thinking you're right.

Already down to 1-3 inches and "moderate to heavy" rain. Seems they like to start out with a worst case scenario rather than underestimating. Still its a nice storm and every bit helps.

Not much here at the Monterey coast
Hope I didn't jinx the rain with my new gutters.
About 1/4" but it's a start.
Felt good walking as the rain stopped.

Eldorado National Forest Urges Extreme Caution During Storm Event
Debris flows, flooding and rockfall are likely
PLACERVILLE, Calif. - The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch beginning Saturday evening, and a winter storm watch beginning Sunday evening for the Sacramento Region, including the Eldorado National Forest. The amount of precipitation expected creates a risk of debris flows, flooding and rockfall especially in steep canyons within the Caldor Fire area.
Movement of soil and rocks is a response to an intense rain event like the storm predicted for this weekend and can be destructive. Debris flows can occur suddenly and cause damage to structures or threaten the safety of people nearby. Flooding is expected along streams and rivers. Structures near waterways, bridges, culverts, and low water stream crossings are especially prone to flooding.
Debris flows, flooding and rockfall can occur without warning. If you are in the foothills and mountains, avoid steep slopes, and drainages especially in the Caldor Fire area, but also any where else affected by the storm.
Many Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) treatments have been completed in the Caldor Fire area over the last several weeks to mitigate erosion, protect infrastructure and increase safety. These treatments will have localized effects, but can not prevent a storm of this magnitude from having impacts.
Again, please be aware that both burned and unburned areas of the forest are at risk from the storm.
Visitors are encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel and to monitor the National Weather Service website for updates on the storm: https://www.weather.gov/sto/.

That applies to all the fires, not just Caldor. Even if the storm wimps out it still won't take much in the burn area to cause problems.
.57 at my my place so far.

They're sticking with their 2-4 inches and up to 50mph winds. Time to batten down the hatches and prepare for the worst. I'll go check on my dads house and make sure he's ready. Definitely not time to go camping!

I'm figuring we'll get over 9 inches here. It rained hard yesterday morning. I was able to get all the drainage on the property cleaned up and ready for the challenge. The gullies will be washed. There will be issues with the burned areas and roads.

Sounds good to me but the reality vs. the forecasts has been underwhelming so far. Sure hope that this isn't the best/only deluge of the winter. I forget which year it was but I recall a previous winter that started out like gangbusters, then the spigot got turned off... my reading is that the La Nina events can be like that.

daverave, you are correct. Many of the past years have been as you describe. Last year we had 18 inches of snow the first week of November, then it was dismal.
On the bright side, the last small storms really dumped rain here as they past quickly through. Today at noon we received an emergency alert from the County about the approaching storm. Told us to be prepared to evacuate and shelter in place. We have both covered.
