From whence our water cometh. NOT! The view of the Sierra crest from the valley would typically be all white with snow in February. This year the view is mostly of exposed granite. So sad. "Big" rains are forecast to hit us this weekend. I hope the meteorologists are right this time.

Most of the Nonpareil in our area are at the early green tip stage of development at this time. A few extra-early varieties such as NePlus and Sonora are in pink bud.
