pineapple express?
According to an AP report, the incredible storm here in California (which ain't over yet, folks), is "being generated by a sluggish low-pressure system rotating off California and drawing a flow of moisture known as a 'pineapple express' up from the subtropical Pacific." The report also notes that the average amount of rainfall for the winter season in Los Angeles is fifteen inches, but since last Monday we've had twenty-one inches. Twenty-one inches in a week. And did I mention the storm isn't through with us yet?
More rain, sometimes heavy, predicted for tonight and tomorrow. We're still hoping for a bit of relief on Wednesday.
