Whoa. I hope it lightens up. I might need to make adjustments for my travel up to Davis on Saturday.

I hope it does, just 'cause it's been a total letdown so far. Just a smattering or rain and a light breeze; this'll never cover PG&E cutting power to 40,000 people...

where I used to live a normal winter was 120 plus winds but areas that are not used to that will have trees going down. Keep your eyes out and hands on the wheel if you are out driving in it. Have candles handy incase power does go out.
