Greg Waite was all for a little rain.
 
"We need all we can get and more," he said.
 
And the bread-maker whipping up the wood fired bread kept warm...and positive.
 
"The rain's good for baking bread...a lot of moisture in the air. Really helps it rise good...a nice crust," said Brad Cole of Bosca Rustic Wood Fired Bread.
 
The rain isn't just good for his bread.
It's good for the white stuff that keeps California afloat...
 
"This snow was basically bare two days ago," said Frank Gehrke of the State Department of Water Resources.
