It's not unheard of to have rain in May, but it is pretty unusual. I remember a time in 1976, after I graduated UC Riverside with my MA degree. Hubby and I had a little Mazda and he suggested we drive back from Riverside to the desert, through Idyllwild. It snowed that evening! He told me to keep going and to not stop, so I did. However, that was 40 years ago! It has snowed up on Mt. San Jacinto a couple of times since then, but it is still a rare event.
I was babysitting the grandson down in north Indio yesterday afternoon and I took my camera with me because I knew it was due to rain. And, rain it did! The streets in Palm Desert were wet and our yard was wet, too. Hubby said we had a downpour at home. I always love to drive around after a storm in the desert because I get to see different light.
Here are some photos from yesterday afternoon. Today it is clear.
I don't usually take photos of telephone poles, but I was stopped at an intersection and I took this photo.
Always nice to see rain clouds! Like the photos, especially the first one.
