They were still using it after ‘96; my boy wasn’t born yet. I’m thinkin of the flooding after, that moved the river channel away from the ramp (I think).

El Niño has been doing as expected with lots of rain to our south this winter. More to come starting this weekend.

The house we've rented is getting drenched but it sits about four feet above the street so the house is safe and dry despite this warning that startled us a few minutes ago:
Three days ago the area was hammered (2" here), Long Beach had quite a bit of flooding (we're perhaps an hour from there). Our daughter's house is also well situated for this weather.
The day after the last storm, I saw multiple locals watering their lawn. California.

@Buzzy , thank you for filling us in on what is happening. Just before dinner tonight I was thinking about you and your family and wondering. Maybe show us some pics of before and after regarding the beaches. Others too?
Very little coverage on TV. Even TWC has minimal coverage unlike the East Coast and down South coverage.
I been known to go to the coast just to watch huge storms come.
Stay safe and enjoy the nice weather once it returns...

Thanks, Chris! )
We still have lots of rain but it isn't torrential (right now and no wind (for now?).
I don't have a camera (just an iPhone) so capturing a decent picture isn't easy (besides, my wife and I are hunkered down working on a jigsaw puzzle).
The first atmospheric river we enjoyed (December 22), the sidewalk below the house was flowing a couple inches deep towards the ocean but really, nothing compared to many parts of California. We're thankful for our good fortune.
The strand along the base of the bluff here in Redondo Beach was flooded by storm surge. I guess this is a pretty rare occurrence. It's fascinating to watch the ocean, the surf (those crazy surfers who braved the storm surge) and see how the beach changes from day to day.
On Saturday my 6 year old grandson conned me into going to the beach ("we won't get wet, Jiji"). We had a great time building an invincible dam and retrieving driftwood then tossing the wood into the surf and following it as it floated down the shoreline, retrieving it and repeating until a sneaker caught us and got us pretty wet "won't get wet" ;-). It wasn't warm, we laughed and headed home.
Thanks again for the well wishes.
Yeah 6 months out…maybe!
I’ll take a La Niña, even a weak one over El Niño no matter when it comes.
After the blob of 2015 and sitting on the sidelines in 2016, I don’t want to give WDFW any more reasons to overreact and restrict our fishing opportunities.

I hear ya. I think I am just getting worn out by people's hand wringing about something we cannot control, making predictions that we are either totally screwed or totally fine, when really, nobody friggin knows how the next few months will play out with snow/precip/temperatures. Not saying that's you. Just..."people."I’ll take a La Niña, even a weak one over El Niño no matter when it comes.

I hope the weather tomorrow translates to a bunch of snow in the mountains so we can catch up on our snowpack.

"For higher terrain surrounding Mount Baker and Mount Rainier, the highest peaks may see accumulations surpassing 10 feet of snow."
I've got a site visit to my couch today, but I left my slippers upstairs...good thing I have my 'couch blanket' downstairs, otherwise my feet would be cold. Probably work on the tractor later on out in the barn, doesn't pay well, but dry in there.
