Does anyone have information on how much rain has fallen, and how it has affected the lake level?

They predict about 0.2 inches for today, but we've had some heavy squalls in the past 2 hours and they expect another downpour around 5 PM,
so I think it will be at least .4 inches.

Based on my pool level, I'd say at least an inch fell over a pretty short period. I know my backyard drainage could not handle the volume

I've been using wunderground since folsomweather.com went down. You can choose the station closest to you. Mine is American River and the temp always seems to jive exactly with our home thermometer. I don't know about the accuracy of the precipitation meter, as we don't have one with to compare.
I noticed your profile says Natoma Station, so here you go: https://www.wundergr...d?ID=KCAFOLSO12
As for "epic" amounts of rain, I remember our first rainy season here in Folsom (2005/2006) -- coming from the deset, we wondered if we'd ever see the sun again (rain, fog, rain, fog . . . ad infinitum). It did.

All I know is that it's rare when I have to let some water out of my pool, and when the drainage can't keep up with the rain.
But I'm not complaining. Bring it on !!
