When it rains, ...

When it rains, it might snow!  That's rare here, but a chance of snow is being predicted, as quoted in the Visalia Times-Delta:
Rain is expected to fall today, but as temperatures dip lower, the cold could result in a light dusting of snow tonight and Saturday in Central and Northern California as far west as the Central Coast. But Borgioli said he believes that the snow — if any actually falls — is more likely to occur farther inland, including the Valley.The last snowfall on the Valley floor occurred in January 1999.
It is pouring on other fronts too.  Both girls came home on Monday from their youth retreat with fevers, colds, sore throats, fatigue, and no appetite.  Nathan started feeling bad on Thursday, and woke up with a fever today.  Lorissa is mostly just coughing, Renee is still feverish.  Keith went to work not feeling the greatest either.

The dishwasher leaked, so new gaskets are on order and the floor is drying out.  This of course happens when all my human "dishwashers" are sick.  The washing machine also overflowed yesterday.  I think the pipes don't like the cheap detergent which may have built up a sludge even with a water softener, so I probably need to go back to liquid detergent.
