The way the news is talking yad think if the stampede of fleeing sabertooths and woolly mammoths dont get you, the avalanche of snow and ice will. Here in SoCal tommorow we have a 60% chance of El Nino drizzle.
At least all you doing the challenge have a great excuse to hit the workbench.
It’s even worse than that in the DC area…but this sums it up:
People here have short memories. They don’t realize that we get WINTER every year. “Snow? Wow, I don’t remember it EVER snowing before!”
And it appears that some folks can’t stand the thought of maybe staying home for over a day. Bread, milk and toilet paper all disappear from grocery shelves in the days leading up to a storm. Lines form at the gas stations and all the meteorologists are breathless over the approaching storm.
Lol Bruce, replace “snowflake” with “raindrop” and you’ve described LA to a Tee.
Every storm is the “Storm of the Century”…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
haha 20 inches of snow here we strap the skis on and play. 3 inches down south everything shuts down for a week.
I’m wearing shorts today (Anaheim, CA) (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
1960 first storm for me in NJ, 6 foot drifts were considered … just another storm. Long driveways were fun to play on, not so much to shovel.
I like it here where I can see it on the distant mountains. Sun is warm, breeze is cool, ah yes the dead of winter… brrr.

Have in past lived in Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, in areas which usually get minimal snow, have seen the panic. Have also seen a GA National Guard 6x6 slide backwards down a snowy street. Was in VA Beach VA for the blizzard of 1980-something when tracked personnel carriers had to be used - granted, not the kind of snow the western RRs plow in the Rockies, but a lot for that locality.
Now live out in Missouri farm country where the attitude to most things short of ice storms seems to be “Eh, whatever, this is Missouri, weather happens.” Around the urban and the burbs zones, (the cities) however, the attitude is different, like people have become disconnected from the Earth, from the environment, from the cycles of nature, from life.

Oh, I was born in San Diego, but we escaped the left coast when I was young.Now live out in Missouri farm country where the attitude to most things short of ice storms seems to be “Eh, whatever, this is Missouri, weather happens.” Around the urban and the burbs zones, (the cities) however, the attitude is different, like people have become disconnected from the Earth, from the environment, from the cycles of nature, from life.
It is not supposed to get us here in Maine…heading south of us, but it made a beautiful sunset! Dark clouds to the south west, rainbow colored sun dogs
Suleski Transportaion will be ready. Plow extra crews are on standby.

Dont be surprised to get a lot more. I have a feeling it will be 96 all over again.
Around Omaha the worst the weather gets the faster they drive.
Were gonna die!!!
Cuz, if you die do I get the rest of the chessie stuff willed to me. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)lol.
Stay safe everybody!!

I think the hype is a conspiracy by the milk, bread and battery companies. Here in Southern New England the news organizations (Hood, Sunbeam, and Duracell’s puppets) have been preaching the end is near all week. Its the boy who cried wolf over and over every year. I can tell you without any fancy radar that winter, and probably snow, will come back again next year.
Can you tell that this news hype really bugs me?
Snowblower at the ready
