To put that in context, snow/water ratios are normal about 10:1, so if what was snowing you’d expect close to a 1.5 feet to 3 feet of snow- that’s a lot, as my snow shoveling back is telling me.
If my quick internet search is correct, SF will be getting well over 10% of its average annual rainfall in just a day or two. Another way of saying a lot.
Also, the water doesn’t just stay there, it flows, and it makes soil looser and heavier. 3” in the hills can mean many feet of extra water in valleys/flood plains and can cause mud slides.
In others words, again, that’s a lot of rain.
