Oh my it's snowing

Yes, we had heavy rain starting in the wee hours and into morning.   (Sure was nice hearing the rain for a change!   (Slept in one hour by mistake.)  The mountains are about two hours from Los Angeles.   

Just checked, she or he is still covered with snow.

@Neighbor I don't think it's a dead tree but I'm not sure.   If you use the link below, maybe they can tell you.

Poor birds it is like watching a rerun of last year except this year the nest doesnt look as deep and sturdy so they are being buffeted by the winds at all times . I do hope and pray they get a break in the weather and better conditions soon

We are going to get another round of rain coming in Sunday night through Thursday.   It's called an atmospheric river.

We usually don't get much rain in the Los Angeles area.   Also, sometimes the mountains and deserts get the rain when it bypasses us down in the L.A. Basin.

I rewound the video...at 16:34, both Eagles were on the nest.   And they changed places!   Really amazing how they keep those eggs safe.

Right now Jackie or Shadow, I can't tell which end is the head....just a body of feathers in the snow.

Yep,  however the year I sold my first home there it had rained and rained and rained at this time of year. The very day  the buyer of my home had taken  occupancy it flooded the yard and the patio room.  Never had anything like it before, - or since to my knowledge. I had forgotten about  that one it was so long ago.  

I trekked through the snow at Mt. Baldy  more than a few times, and Wrightwood, oh Wrightwood in the winter, hard getting around that little village on the Northside slope, it would all ice over so. Gee been  a long long time; memories from long ago!

At 2 AM  your time the wind is very strong and there is but one eagle sitting the nest. It is a live tree and it is swaying some in the wind.

The eagle just sprung into action, moving the three eggs a bit, rotating one of them, and resetting itself back down, tucking it's own head into it's back after shaking the snow off itself.

Okay I'm hooked! been watching since 4:30 here. Watched the Ca. sunrise the changing of the guard with the one swooping in to that branch in the center background.

Find myself praying and cheering for them. Just think they don't know a thing about the Biden Crime family  nor Eagle pass. They just do as God has told us - be fruitful.

I wish I could tell which one is which they have done a few swops so far and some of the rearranging the sticks and a squabble about whose turn it is to be on the nest lol brings back memories of last year just hope this year is more successful

Rewinding the video really helps to see the action.   

The next storm due in Sunday night will be much stronger than the one a few days ago.

While I absolutely love hearing the rain, I hope the Eagles and people will be safe.   Since this is an Eagle thread, I mentioned them first!

There was a lot of flooding on our streets.   Water went up to nearly the roofs of the cars in some areas.   People had to be rescued from cars.

They are very frightening.   Our 1994 one was 6.7.   They say for each point higher, it feels ten times more.

 

Center 17 miles north of my house.   We don't need these.
