A pair of notable storms will bring widespread & in some cases heavy rain along w/locally stronger wind gusts and isolated thunderstorms through this weekend. Snow levels will be very high, esp. initially, due to warm airmass, & SoCal will actually see more rain vs NorCal! #CAwx

I think they hear them crunching on the grass roots. It's easy for them to pull up the clumps of sod because the larvae have destroyed the roots.
