WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Mark68]

Central CA? Is that still a thing?

Flyover country.

[Hollyw00d]

My dog was all muddy when I got home.

Goddamn you, AO

 

 

leave him inside the house while you're gone, animal hater

[Amazing Larry]

I'd like just for once have a so cal rain that DIDN'T mention

 

Mud and rockslides in Malibu or Foothills; and

"This does not have an effect on the drought in the state"

Hahaha! That's all they're saying on the news today.

So predictable.

[Angel Oracle]

Thank you rain for finally showing up

Thank you sun for shining today

 

I never said I wanted a southeastern type climate, just normal for SoCal rainfall.    The past 3 years were a THIRD of that.

[Spencer]

leave him inside the house while you're gone, animal hater

No

[Mark68]

AO, you satisfied yet?

[Sully151]

Didn't seem like all that much rain here in RSM. Sadly most of it goes straight down the storm drains and out to sea.

[Blarg]

The climate change people may not like this.

In the new study, scientists determined that the high-pressure system, dubbed the "ridiculously resilient ridge" by a California forecaster, continued through the 2013-2014 has been the cause for the drought.

 

Ridiculously resilient ridge gloss sounds AO was part of this report.

[Angel Oracle]

Ridiculously resilient ridge of high pressure = Vince Russo to me!

I thought that was the Angels Stadium Marine layer.

California is already facing heavy rain, strong winds and flooding with a major storm expected to hit late Wednesday. Now there's a blizzard warning.

[Angel Oracle]

Yep, that's the California I know.

Either too much rain at once, or no rain

Be nice if we ever had a year where normal rainfall occurred spread out over the entire November-March period.

[Angel Oracle]

That would = the other idiot Russo on the MLBNetwork.

Last year we had snow on the ground - it didn't last - at my place in the middle of November.  So far this year, the temperature hasn't even dropped below freezing.  Strange times.  Looking forward to more rain.

[DB24]

Northern California getting hit hard.

[Adam]

If my tee time next Thursday gets rained out I'm banning AO. FYI

We are getting that same storm on Sunday in the form of snow.  

[Angel Oracle]

I'm safe, rain doesn't start until midnight Friday morning. 

[DB24]

The storm is expected to dump enough snow on California's mountains that the state's snowpack — currently only 35% of average for this time of year — could be at 75% or higher by this weekend.

 

Might be a good time to hit up Mammoth.

Here's How Much the Storm Is Helping California's Epic Drought

 

In the midst of the most intense drought in hundreds of years, Northern California is being bombarded with rain. In a state that produces roughly half of the country's fruits and veggies, the water is more than welcome. The storm is expected to dump 2-8 inches of water in the Bay Area, and 2-5 inches in Southern California. But California would need 18-21 more inches of rain over the next six months in order to make up for the drought, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The state usually gets about 23 inches of rain per year.

So you're saying there's a chance!!

Nothing here yet. Forecast is rain tonight and ALL DAY tomorrow.

[Tank]

was awakened at 3:30 this morning by the loudest wind and rain i can ever remember hearing. lasted a good 15-20 minutes. it was a nice sound to listen to as i drifted off back to sleep. made me wish it happened during daylight hours so i could watch it.

 

 

weather-wise, today is my ideal day: dark, cloudy, and rainy. i love these kinds of days.

 

 

if you have a season pass, today is a PERFECT day to go to disneyland. it'll be empty.

[gotbeer]

I couldn't sleep last night because the rain was pouring so hard.

 

I blame AO.
