WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[gotbeer]

The record rainfall total in Los Angeles for the day is 1.05 inches, set in 1995.  Do we have a shot at it?

@Blarg Man this winter just hasn't been good to you.  I think you should blame @Angel Oracle

Oh, believe me @gotbeer, I have a hit out on him. He is going to go to his car on a warm sunny day and be nailed by a dude with a Gatorade bucket filled with ice water.

Thunderstorm with hail right now

Don't see that every day

Massive amounts of hail outside my office in Irvine.

County offices here closed due to snow.

If this weather were a person it'd be Johnny Depp and we'd be a female.

8th cancelled day of work today because of freezing rain all day yesterday.  Again, it was a no-brainer, but it's getting pretty surreal. 

The governor declared the last couple of weeks an emergency for our county, so there's a possibility we'll get to waive the 180-day requirement, and only have to make up 3-4 days now. Depends on a lot of factors. 

So how does that work? Cut into your Summer? Make up days?

Yeah. right now, we'd extend the school year by 8 days, so basically 2 weeks. 

It's a big problem for the multitude of teachers and students who made plans in advance, but that's just the way it works. 

I actually need those instruction days to get stuff done with my classes...particularly my IB class. 

I'm betting we'll end up having to make up 3 days because of the emergency declaration for our county, but it's all still pretty up in the air. 

Yikes what a bummer.

This weather sucks 

if this is what I want I would move to the northwest 

everyone satisfied now

Okay, even I am over this constant rain in SoCal.   Drought has eased, time to move on, rain.

Constant? We've had 1 or 2 days up here this month where it hasn't rained.

I've been over it for quite a while, but it just keeps on coming. I had a feeling that this is how it would happen. Years of no rain, and then a couple of months where it does nothing but. We're dealing with heavy snow right now...not snowing heavily, but the snow itself is very wet and heavy. Lot's of trees down, on the roads and into houses, barns etc.

What a clusterfuk.

Crazy stuff.  I got woken up 15 minutes early by the heavy rain, I go shower and get ready to go to work.  I get out of the shower and it stopped raining and it was sunny.  

[Angel Oracle]

Central O.C. is now up to about 12 inches of rain already since October 1, of which 4-5 inches fell since Thursday alone.   

Normal rainfall for the entire October-September year is 14-15 inches.

Time for the sun to come out and stay out, muchas gracias. 

So an El Nino a year ago produced more drought, and a La Nina is producing above average rainfall.    Which way is up?

This year we have had a ton of snow.  The schools never take snow days.  They use them for planned teacher's conferences and basketball games.  They shut down the buses but still expect all the kids to get to school.

Watching LB State basketball nowadays has a way of dulling the senses.

Bobby Gross is not walking through those doors.

[Angel Oracle]

Neither is Lucious Harris or Bryon Russell.

Its fucking cold today

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Seriously.  Some time back the knob for the air temperature control in my car broke or rather the cheap piece of plastic connecting the knob to the piece in the dashboard broke.  The dealer wanted about a grand to fix it because they said they'd need to take the dashboard apart, replace the piece then put it back together and it would take hours.  I left it on cold by adjusting it with a pair of pliers because 99% of the time I need to turn the air on I need cold air and not warm air.  Today was not one of those days and I could see my breath in my car the entire way to work.

[Angel Oracle]

Finally, low 70s by Sunday in O.C. 

Past two months have only seen just over a handful of days with at least 70 for a high.

[Homebrewer]

It's like all the way up to 53 here' today but it's sunny and it feels great!

[Tank]

did a little walking around during lunch recess today. felt good to be in the warmth of the sun. felt like someone was making my weather great again.

[gotbeer]

Sunny till the end of the month.  Then looks like we might get rain to start the month off.  Guess I have a few weeks to figure out how to fix a leak in the garage that's coming from a small one brick high retaining wall.  Might just be easier to rip the whole thing out, and make a new cement wall.
