Early Winter 2011-2012

Feh, hardly any rain this month and, save for perhaps a few sprinkles later this week, there doesn't seem to be any on the horizon at all, certainly nothing like the storms we depend on here to get us through the year water-wise.
This is a real departure from the past several years in that rains have tended to last well into spring. Even though we can water our gardens through a dry winter, I've noticed from other dry years, especially back in the 80's, that no matter how much one waters, there is no substitute for several inches of real rain.
Hopefully things will turn and the second part of winter turns the tap on from the Pacific.
