The conspiracy guy on the radio today explained its all because of the global cabal controlling the weather. Kind of sounds like a little kid pushing the rain/don't rain button. Apparently all the meteorologists are in on it too. So disappointing. I really like weather guys on my local tv 
It was like watching a train wreck. I just couldn't turn it off

The TV weather folks are now talking "historic storm". We received another emergency alert from the County this morning - "Do not travel unless you are evacuating". Winds are fierce. The rain is currently moderate. Nothing to do but watch it play out. We got a big chicken rosemary thyme stew in the crockpot and can easily change to alternate power if the grid goes down. We're happy, dry, and warm.

I'm fortunate the wind is from the south. My antenna is actually straight again

Rained hard all nite, received 1.8 inches of rain overnight in North Auburn at my home. Wind is intense and property is a mess. Good news is that the lake levels will come up, we will still need more wet weather to get caught up.

I just got an alert on my cell phone advising me to seek shelter by 2pm. That's a first. I've been hunkering down all morning. Good time to still be a football fan. 2.03 and that doesn't count the storms earlier in the week.

High winds -- mostly out of the West -- were at my back from central Wyoming to central Nebraska today. Those tailwinds along I-80 boosted my truck's gas mileage by almost 20%!
Yesterday I drove through off-and-on rain -- mostly light -- from Nevada to Wyoming. There were a few snowflakes mixed in the rain on a couple of the higher passes along I-80.
MarkBC - you would have had similar winds if you were in Bend. We were awoken about midnight camping on the eastern side of the Deschutes NF, and it didn't let up. We ended up home early due to the high winds. Once home we had the camper all opened up to let the wind dry it out, only to be caught off guard by the rain, soaked again...time to start over on the drying.
