We received 4.4 inches of rain, compared to a 10-year mean of 2.14 inches.

Normally at this time of the year, we should have about 11.91 inches of rain. So this year we're way below normal, but it rained on the Rose Parade for the first time in 50-some years. And last year, we had record rains, and it didn't rain on the parade. So go figure.

From midnight to 4 a.m., we recorded about 2 inches of rain and over a half-inch more from then until 8 a.m..

All told, by the end of Monday, expect 4 to 8 inches of rain in the north counties and 2 to 4 inches in the Bay Area, with the majority of it in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Good manners have much to do with emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them.
