WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Angel Oracle]

It gets better. Since January 1, 2013, there's only been 3 inches of rain.

Yep, this drought laughs in the face of the 76-77 drought, tinker toys compared to this one.

That same storm hit us.  More strange ass weather yesterday.  Heavy snow, then freezing rain, then rain, then thunderstorm, then freezing rain, then snow.

 

That storm laid down a layer of ice before the 9 inches of snow. That ice is bonded to the road now and the temps are too cold for salt/sand or other chemicals to work. It's like driving on an ice rink on every single road. Can't see concrete or asphalt anywhere.

looks like we should get a good amount of rain this week. we need it.

[fan_since79]

Latest forecast is for heavy rain on Friday. We could easily get two inches in the L.A. basin. Now we have to worry about flooding.

[Blarg]

C'mon guys. Let's be a little more glass-is-half-full here. Enjoy your jean shorts and birkenstocks while the rest of the country freezes their balls off. 

 

Mom just sent me updates on Dad trying to clear the snow off the driveway.

 

 

The driveway is about 300 yards long.

It appears likely that we will be the recipients of a foreign substance falling from the sky later in the week.  If all goes to plan it looks like we could get one to two inches.

Bruce and I are/were going to play San Juan hills.

 

Hopefully the storm dwindles or stays a bit North of us...

Nobody here knows how to drive in snow because we don't get much of it.  It's really scary.  

 

if it ever snowed here in l.a., the whole city would just come to a screeching halt. we don't even know how to drive in rain - snow would just paralyze us.

[Angel Oracle]

Hey, at this point I am just glad if at least the northern half of the state (Sierras) gets much needed rain/snow.

That's a start.

 

Even accuweather is flip flopping the past 2-3 days, one day it's rain this weekend, the next day it's just drizzle this weekend.

I remember as a young adult reading Thom Racina's "The Great Los Angeles Blizzard".    It was a pretty crazy story.  

 

The most recent measureable snow anywhere in LA County itself was early 1989, when some 2-4 inches fell in Canoga Park and also the area just north of the 5/118 interchange.

 

The most recent real snow in downtown L.A./Long Beach was in 1949.

Sorry, Adam.  Looking like wet and windy for Friday.

[1nutkruk]

Supposed to snow just as rush hour starts.  AWESOME!!!

[Ray McKigney]

I hope it doesn't rain. I won't be able to take my evening walk to the liquor store to buy brewskies without an umbrella. That's an inconvenience.

Oh well. Looks like I'm working...

Mountains anyway, meant to say in the proper L.A. county area under 1,500 feet altitude.

I'm leaving my sprinklers on from Thu-Sun in protest

It snowed in Alta Dena back in 1987. Wasn't much but it was enough that we scrapped the front yard and made a snowman for my 2 year old son. It was shorter than he was. About an hour later it all melted away. Wish we had taken a picture of it.

Can't wait for the local news to run "Storm Watch" and "Epic Drought" stories back-to-back.

[2002_halos_II]

I see sandbags around the "storm drains" along some of the streets here in South OC.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

FU, Thursday.

 

 

And Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I fail to see how any of those days can feel different from one another.

Freezing cold as f*ck
