It's interesting how a massive AR hit in early November, and then hit the central coast in late November. Looks like this year could be a repeat.

Nooksack River floods in 1990 highlighted. Note there were two separate floods - the first from the early Nov AR event and the second from the late Nov AR event. While both were very significant, the early Nov AR had higher rainfall totals.

Chilcotin snow pillow data that shows you just how anomalous the Nov 1990 AR was!
