Dumb people who tried to drive thru the water on Willow St in West LB lost their cars on Thursday. One lady was interviewed. She got out safely but her car was completely submerged, only the top visible.

She told the reporter, "Well, I had to get to work!"

Really?!

I’m watching the local news, and they have been predicting “massive” amounts of snow above the 6500’ foot level in the mountains.

I can honestly say that we have been getting some snow (my house is at 7200’ feet) but right now it’s 35 degrees and we are getting massive rain, which is causing a huge melt off of the snow we got the last two days.

Thats going to be a huge problem really soon for the roadways leading into the mountains with rockslides and washed out roads.

I’ve stocked up on beer and scotch.  You know, just in case.

Downtown got 4.10 inches yesterday.  So far today, we are up to 2.10 inches, and a little lull in the weather.  Record for a day is 5.88 inches set in 1938 when global warming was out of control.

Westwood 12” of rain.

This above post aged well.  

Since this post, we have received about 20”-22” inches and it’s still coming down.  I actually love it, because we need and it’s the life blood of Big Bear.

I also included a picture of Jackie, Big Bear’s famous bald eagle as she protects her 3 (yes, 3 this time) eggs from the elements.

I don't see any yellow snow, so you must still be stocked up on supplies still. 

Good news is, with all the melt, you probably have 2 inches of solid ice under all that snow.

1-2 inches thru Monday in Long Beach is no big deal. We had 7 inches over the three days Feb 4-6. Major flooding, the works.

I hope those homes in Rancho PV hold up. Not sure what can really be done to secure them.

Mt. Baldy is behind these hills/clouds. I wish I could see how low the snow got. It was so cold out yesterday.

One and three quarters of an inch of rain Friday/Saturday.

I honestly thought I was done with this shit this winter.  18” so far, and the second half of the storm tonight hasn’t started yet.

Honestly, I can only remember one other time, I think it was 1996 where we had a March Miracle storm like this.  Even last year, our last storm was around St Patty’s Day.

The resorts were slated to close next Sunday, April 7th.  Now staying open until the 21st is what we’re hearing.  Big Bear lake is 5 feet from full capacity right now, and the spring thaw hasn’t even started.

I would imagine you get a lot of water displacement every time you enter the pool
