They say we're going to get rain. A lot of rain. They are pointing to maps of the jet stream to back up their prediction. Maybe even enough precipitation to cause the Sacramento River floodgates to open, sending excess water into the Yolo Bypass. And, They say, lots of snow, too.
But They have been known to disappoint. The maps, the isobars, the El Nino effect, the historical record—these are the tools They use to make their forecasts. But They are never the Final Arbiter of what, eventually, goes/comes down. Ma Nature always has her spoon in the soup, and She, not They, decides whether it's a good, thick, chunky bowlful or the Oliver Twist special.
I hope They are right this time. I'm hungry for rain.

Me too! Want to come over for soup??
I've been watching the weather up There from down Here, and I think this time They may be right. It's been unseasonably wet here; Ellos dicen El Niño mostly here. and Ellos predict more rain this coming week. So far, Ellos have been right down here, too!
They are proving correct, this morning, anyway. Raining steadily (though not especially hard), and it's a bit windy (though not yet super-so).
Thanks for the soup, wine and converstion, Pica. And Susan, espero la lluvia no es torrencial!
