To the north, in Petaluma, three cars collided in a fender bender that backed up Highway 101 and caused one minor injury. The Highway Patrol cited slippery conditions.

Though it wasn't all bad-- downtown Petaluma supplied a beautiful site as the rain gently fell.

Let's hope the waters remain untroubled after the rains.
