Man, do I wish there was a Rain Fairy I could beseech to break this Continuing Drought logjam here in CA. Nearly 6 weeks now with no precip. This in the "rainiest" (insert hysterical laughter here) part of our year.
Tuesday! A day to do a rain dance, if I knew one.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

Even though Rancho eJ got nearly 20" of rain in December 2014, it abruptly stopped and no precipitation has fallen here since. I know I've whined about this here at IAN before, but hey. We're in deep trouble. I know that the East is looking at a Historic Blizzard in the next 24 hours or so, and I'm deeply concerned for them. All I'd like to ask (beg?) the Rain Fairy is a return to normal Northern Coastal CA rainfall for the rest of the Winter and early Spring.
Drought sucks.
IANites in the path of the Big Blizzard: be careful and stay in touch if you can. We worry. Meanwhile, anyone with the Rain Fairy's cell phone number, all I'm saying is: please send it to me stat!
Wait: Late-breaking Fairy News! I just discovered Hayley
There's a whole book of many helpful weather fairies--I knew nothing about this! There is even a mist fairy, but I'm going for Hayley. Anyone know her number? I better get the book, fast.
So which weather fairy would you like to consult?
