Low, thick, gray clouds and cold air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley – once again we’re awaiting another ‘atmospheric river‘ (AR) to come crashing onto us, bringing rain and more rain.

A sad-sense of ‘brown eyes crying in the rain‘ this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, or maybe weeping — juxtaposition-ed between a Low pressure to the north, and a High to the south, we’re really, really getting seriously wet.
