Equinox. Wrens singing full-throated unbounded joy of spring returned. Acorn woodpeckers calling family in to fill granaries, nest, tend to community. Redwoods and creekbeds post-fire growing and flowing with neither hope nor despair: just completely being, nothing left over. Life lives itself.

Wet pattern still appears likely across essentially all of CA for at least next 7-10 days (inc. SoCal). Heading toward mid-Mar, there is some inter-ensemble disagreement: ECMWF ensemble is much wetter than GFS, and brings heavy rain to SoCal in that window. Stay tuned! #CAwx
