Barely enough to keep from irrigating my trees and bushes and to perk up the grass. Things were REALLY dry. <br /><br />This was pretty profound rain shadow event, and we were at the extreme western edge of this one. Always wishing for a little more rain to make things lush without turning on the taps, but living in the PNW desert has its pros and cons. <br /><br />Although there is always a brief period in February when I say, "OK, that's enough." <br /><br />But lounging on my deck in the sunshine this last week while watching the very impressive storm clouds pass by on all sides (I'm on the top of a hill) has its own pleasures. Thankfully it did rain at night, which seems to be a feature of the rain shadow. Night rain, days dry.
