rainfall in Menlo Park

Flowers glisten as rain continues in Menlo Park

by Linda Hubbard Gulker on March 10, 2019

InMenlo contributing photographer Robb Most stopped by Allied Arts yesterday and captured some pretty blooms sporting rain drops. One is featured above.

And this morning InMenlo weather watcher reported: “.4” in our gauge just shy of the ‘new’ 7:00 am. My season to date is 19.7”. Maybe 20” by the end of the day? I can hope so.”

This afternoon could bring hail and thunderstorms!

Emailed Bill at 3:15 pm: “That hail/rain storm lasted 6-7 minutes and put .3” of rain in my gauge. It was hitting with such force on our family roof ceiling. I am now at 20”. Whoopee!!!”

Reports InMenlo weather watcher Bill Russ: “Maybe InMenlo folks are not thinking ‘How much rainfall?’ on a […]

At last – some respite from the rain?

Commuters and kids going to school got a respite from the rain this morning. The sun even poked through the clouds from time to time, casting long shadows next to the wet streets. Alas, more rain is in the forecast for Saturday (or hurray, depending on where you sit on the “all-this-rain” spectrum). Emails InMenlo […]

Not much rain today, but more on the way

It was mostly sputters today, rainfall wise. “As of 3:15 I have .1” to add to my today,” emailed InMenlo weather watcher Bill Russ. “I am now 18.2 season to date.” The forecast is for more rain to start tonight around dinner time and continue throughout the day tomorrow.

Yep, it’s still raining in Menlo Park

Reports Bill: “A satisfying .55” in our gauge as of 6:45 this Saturday morning. My season-to-date total is now 17.6”. And the possibility of more to come.” He measured another .3″ around 1:00 pm […]

Now that was some rain — and some wind — overnight in Menlo Park. The morning brings showers and sunshine. Reports InMenlo weather watcher Bill Russ: It’s 6:45 an, and Sally just brought in our gauge. There is .9” in it which is pleasing to both of us. That is 17.05” season to date.” We liked […]

That was pushed back to late afternoon and then late evening. The rain finally arrived during the night, resembling more a stream than the predicted atmospheric river. Emailed InMenlo weather watcher […]

If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes

Bill Russ reported this morning: “While we slept last night, we were unknowingly the glad recipients of another .4” […]

Rain creates roaring San Francisquito Creek with high winds continuing

This latest storm has been sufficient to get San Francisquito Creek roaring along, although well below the San Mateo Drive bike bridge. Good to see nevertheless. Emailed InMenlo weather watchers Sally and Bill Russ early this morning: “Isn’t it wonderful to hear the rain in the night! It’s like all is right with the world. We […]
