"I think we needed some rain," Pedro Martinez said while golfing in Madera County. "Definitely, some good air quality is always good and green grass, green Valley, green landscape. Everything is good."
Others may need to brace for power outages, as we're expecting several days of this winter weather.
"The ground is going to get really saturated, and once it's saturated like that, it doesn't take the same level of wind speed to knock trees into powerlines," PG&E spokesperson Jeff Smith explained.
PG&E says its crews are set up across the region to respond to any issues, especially in areas of high concern.
"Any of the wooded areas in the mountain communities, things of that nature tend to be more problematic during storms of this type," Smith said.
Snow levels are expected to be lower throughout the week, which PG&E says could be an issue for its crews.
"Sometimes we have everything we need: the crews, the equipment to get in and make that repair. But if we can't safely bypass the snow, then that delays us from being able to get those customers restored," Smith stated.
The wet and cold weather is not putting a damper on Presidents' Day plans for dozens at Valley Golf Center in Madera County.
"They have some covered areas for us, so we're out here enjoying the time," Martinez said.
Those concerned about the rain can obtain free sandbags throughout Madera County.
