Hail sounds great on the metal roof, especially when sitting by a nice fire😊
Last night was WILD! Spent the night on the streets listening to the weather
Fantastic picture Laura!

4pm today….it is snowing on Willits bypass….
Went by there at 11 and just rain..
“McCann”. Funny how it has been misspelled across a few websites. I appreciate the roads update and that you keep it current. Thank you.
Yikes, I just copied the spelling from the County Press release but…I checked and you are correct about the spelling. I fixed it. Thank you.
Hail on my roof was like a syncopated rhythm to my dreams. Thank the gods my roof doesn’t leak!
