La Niña's back – so brace for possible deluge (from the Sacramento Bee)
Most people know El Niño as the weather monster that brings record rain, floods and highway-closing snowdrifts to California.

But the weather phenomenon's nasty little sister, La Niña, has been the bigger troublemaker in the Sacramento area. And she's visiting again this winter.

Forecasters say La Niña will bring a greater chance of heavy rain in Northern California through February.

In past La Niña years, California got weeks of flooding, bracketed by odd periods of utterly dry weather.

(and as a side note, it never fails to depress me when I read the comments at the end of articles like this.)

1. Oi.

Lovely. Just when my rig which does well in the wet died. :(

And no kidding about some of the comments. :eyes:

3. The rain sure started early in the NorthWest- late Sept.

So much for Indian Summer- not that I'm complaining, considering what's been going in the Eastern US and much of Australia.

Got a beauty storm track going at the moment; the pineapple express is in full swing, and looks to stay that way for a while.

on edit: as to the comments: stupidity (not ignorance- stupidity) seems to have gone from being an epidemic to a source of pride in this country.

4. All through California too...
driving through the valley last week there was an awful lot of rain falling on the ripe and nearly-ripe crops. :(

5. Yep- mixed results with Oregon's wine grape harvest, too
That one's always a hit or type deal, though.
