    Angry To all you folks in the north east

    Please stop sending all that cold weather to the west
    here in California we're getting tons of rain and lots of snow
    I guess that's what it is, it's white and cold.
    my backyard looks like a swamp.
    I haven't owned a winter coat in over 50 years
    I know I know quit your whining Dave.

    I'm with Dave. It was 42°F this morning when I left for work, and my legs are still cold. I've gotta get some warm riding gear.

    Thought you guys were in the middle of a drought of epic proportions? You should be thanking the heavens you're getting rain and snow.

    Default I am a wimpy Californian

    You folks are prepared for sloppy weather. We aren't. The roads don't drain well, our warmest clothes are only good down to about 65F, and we don't get any practice driving in the muck because there usually isn't any!

    I had to stop at CycleGear at lunchtime today and buy long johns and a jacket liner. I about froze going to work this morning, but I was toasty coming home!

    We lived in Denver for about 8 years, and I got used to the cold weather. I thought nothing of prolonged cold spells, and I could drive on snow and ice. When we moved back to San Diego, we had to get rid of our winter clothes because they were too hot to wear here. A little rain, and the roads here get slick as snot and nobody can handle it!

    Yesterday we had a lot of rain here. In fact, it was raining sideways. Then we had a big cool down over night. My garage door froze shut!!!! Even the side pedestrian door wouldn't open!!!! It finally let loose and opened so I could get the car out and go to work. I about had a heart attack when I couldn't get either door to open. I don't mind the cold and snow, but someone else can have the freezing rain crap!!!

    I don't think Al is too interested in stepping forward. He's made his fortune off "Global Warming", and he's probably content to talk less about it now.

    I love to hear about the weather in California, they have only one season, Complaining Season.

    It may be a drought with forest fires and they need federal assistance, if not then it isn't too wet and they have mud slides so they need federal assistance.

    They could have not enough snow so thier tourist business is dying, again federal assistance, then too much snow that found its way outside of the resort areas, where they cannot fight it for a lack of equipment, so federal help is needed.

    Then they nearly wipe out one of the largest agriculture counties in the country by shutting off the irrigation pumps in order to save a tiny fish that I is not even native to N. America. This caused massive unemployment especially with the "undocumented citizens" so federal help was needed.

    Meanwhile always claiming how great they are because if they were a sovereign country they would have the top five spot in the wold economy.

    Oh, i almost forgot, thier university research told them that THE major cause of air pollution in the state is caused by Bovine Flatulation, so they are regulating the dairy farms right out of the state. What could that possibly have to do with the smog over the big cities? Left coast wackadoodles for sure!

    Ah, bah humbug!

    Are you saying that they only have one Season: "Federal Assistance"?

    Default Boy do I agree with you

    California is run by a bunch of aged hippies who went to Berkeley and got a wiz bang education
    in how to screw the government out of money by having a bunch of stupid entitlements for all kinds
    of things like cow farts...... fires in Tahoe area because they don't want people to rake up pine
    needles and such just leave everything natural so it will make good kindling so fires have something
    easy to start burning... and the list goes on..... now our Governor wants to build a bullet train to Bakersfield
    for billions..... and dig 2 GIANT TUNNELS to devert all the delta water to LA. ....
    OH WELL......

    Thumbs up Moonbeam?????

    Ah---- gov. moonbeam!!! I left San Jose about 24 years ago for a number of reasons( too many to list here). Then "they" elected him a second time!! He is nuts. Advised by nuts.

    Just finished snowblowing 8" of global warming off my driveway and guess what----- it's snowing again. BUT--- I'm not complaining-- a long ski season ahead.

    Kaos
    Kaos----- Gone but not forgotten.

    Dave, We have had our share of snow in 2014/2015 , when every two days or so we got a snow storm, and Boston had 7 feet of snow , and they broke a record . And in New York city they had machines to melt snow. Deanna
