Out of Monday nights storm Phoenix got about ½ inch. Out of Tuesday night’s storm we got almost 1 inch; this are based on the figures from local TV on what the official rain gage at Sky Harbor airport registered. The cities located around Phoenix mostly got significantly more rain. Some parts town did lose power for a couple of hours, APS houses. [Arizona Public Service. Mine is Salt River Project.]
Tuesday afternoon there were what seemed like zillions of all sized cloud coming into the area and they all melded together into a very darkened sky about late afternoon. The rain sprinkled a little about 6 p.m. but started in earnest at 7 p.m. and from there it was a steady medium rain until about 11 p.m. here where I live. During the following hours it cleared out completely and we had a bright, very fresh clean feeling morning. Oh, boy, do the plants all like this moisture.
There is no sign of the next storm yet, but it’s likely to come in and start raining during the night. This one is predicted to give Phoenix 1-2 inches of rain.
Northern part of the state got lots of snow and this next storm is expected to give even more snow than the last two together but that does depend on the part of the state.
Also, picked up my first share of the CSA stuff. Boy, they are in a not so easy to find location. It’s temporary until new offices are renovated by this summer. It was: turnips, 3 oranges, carrots, a pick of 3 herbs (cilantro was my choice) wheatberries, bok choy, spring mix and one more I can’t remember at the moment. There’s a lot of the bok choy in one of those bunches.
peace, shamba
