dropdeded 0 #26 January 17, 2010 Quote Quote Quote Don't know about SoCal but it's already raining up here in NorCal. It's going to be a wet few days. Battened down here already and waiting for the punch. Wonder which weather guru will be the most accurate. I've read everything from dry to 8 inches, with snow expected as low as 3,000' perhaps. ltdiver There's going be a mess on the I-8 and the 5. this is more than someone just spitting out the window. Guess I'll be gearing up the 4x4 today, been pretty much a no show for winter up on the Grapevine and area mountain communities so far with just one shut down as of yet....does make work "interesting" though------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nanook 1 #29 January 18, 2010 It sprinkled enough to wet the road over here. Surprisingly, no one lost control on the down hill grade through the neighborhood._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #30 January 18, 2010 We got a good 2 or 3 hours of some pretty solid rain in Fresno. 1/2 inch - maybe an inch. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickDG 23 #31 January 18, 2010 Only a steady light rain since this afternoon here in La Crescenta and we just drove the two blocks up to the base of mountains, and the burn area, for a look-see. Some water is flowing down the streets but mostly in the gutters so nothing too serious as yet. Tomorrow afternoon should be the first big punch with the hillsides saturated. Earlier this evening the local fire chief held a briefing via the cities TV channel informing folks in our area to be ready to evacuate at anytime throughout the week.

RPC1117 0 #32 January 18, 2010 Next weekend should be some amazing skiing in Lake Tahoe. Looks like they are getting quite a bit of snow early in the week. Weekend looks sunny and not too cold. Too bad I'm on the East Coast.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guppie01 0 #36 January 18, 2010 YUP! I'm glad that we are getting the rain - we need it badly. But I hate having to go out and about in this shit, primarily because 90% of the people don't know how to function in it. And.. I can't even step outside my front porch without getting flooded - I need some platform shoes! lol g "Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

ltdiver 3 #48 January 19, 2010 Back in the day there was an El Nino that came aboard at Perris and flooded the entire packing and landing areas. Some took boats out and paddled around it was so deep. Then there was the Elsinore flood. The entire DZ had to move . . . Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
