In your search for Noah, keep an eye peeled for Gideon's Bible. Rumor has it that Rocky Racoon is loose in your neighborhood. Also, some large exercise equipment company has filed patents on the use of scrabble pieces for exercise videos.
In addition, the EPA is looking into large fines for Californians moving the stored solid phase natural resource from where the gummit has placed it in their redistribution activities.
Boy, you guys will be in top physical condition for the light duty physical activity later in the year in red rock country.

Nice storm story. I am waiting for Amazon to deliver our Ark DIY kit.
Not many problems here at Escarlata Casa. But the Pajaro River levee broke
on the Monterey County side and flooded the town of Pajaro.
Not an easy fix,I think if the predicted heavy rains come in a few days,the town
of Pajaro will be in very serious trouble.
Stay safe and dry.

It’s interesting to so see all of the efforts compiled into a single thread. That is a LOT of work!
Well done and well written!

Quite a Herculean, if not Sisyphian, task! I am in awe.
No offence to Ski or the Lady, but it looks like the script for some horror movie! The Shining II maybe. But then I am just averse to the white stuff after 30 years on the business end of a shovel. We had no snowblowers, but my dad insisted I help clear the sidewalks and driveways for our neighbors all through junior high and high school. After leaving home I carried on the tradition until suddenly, about 25 years ago, deciding enough was enough.
I hope nature is less generous with more snowpack for you this season.

Whoever came up with the saying "A job well done need never be done again" apparently did not live in snow country. It will be interesting to see a photo later this week after four days straight of heavy rain.

Ted, I’m stealing your first sentence, but remember… plagiarism is a sincere form of flattery!

i have been doing roof top snow-removal in a ski-town since 1994, currently running a crew of 13 now. I can tell you firsthand, how hard this is, and we have only had one(1) winter approaching what the folks in the Sierras are dealing with. The guys have been talking about it alot, and we are all very glad that we are "only" slightly above normal for this time of year. To date we are about 25% above last year, i would not want to be in that situation.
... just average for a hill-billy...

are we going to schedule a work party to beef up the garage/shed roof this summer?

Good one! Yes, the fix for the shed roof is already planned.
The garage is only five years old and was engineered and built to current snow load requirements. I am confident we would have not had any problems with that roof. But if Julie has a dream and is concerned about the garage roof, we shovel it. Life is so much simpler and easier that way and it's only shoveling.
