SoCal Snow Reporters check in!

[cherokeeprogressive]

Here in the San Bernardino Mountains where I live we've had a solid 7" so far and the local weather people say it ain't lettin' up til tomorrow morning after sun-up. By that time we should have over a FOOT in Big Bear Valley since noon today.

It's looking like one of the three two-lane roads up to 7,000 feet where I live is already closed, and both others just MIGHT be by sunrise.

I FUCKING LOVE IT.

1. My dear cherokeeprogressive!

Sounds wonderful! The skiers and the folks who run the ski runs will be thrilled!

Down here at sea level, it's cold (40's to 50's) and rainy.

The mountains should look very pretty when the storm clears out...

4. Dearest Peg!

It's wonderful to be here, hell if you live here and found yourself down the mountain this afternoon...

We have a Lady Friend who was on the way back from a Dr.'s appoint this afternoon. She started up from Redlands on the 330, and after a couple hours of delay, was turned back. She then started up the 38, got stuck in an HOURS LONG traffic jam, and guess what? Yep... she got turned back. Now she's in a hotel in Highland.

I'll post pics in the morning when the sun is shining on the snow!

2. Kick from a former SoCal resident.

And I miss Nadine, who would also have been all over this. She was so bullied here, she left. I still hope she will come back.

(Not to detract from your post.)

6. Yeah, I miss nadin too... she might be gettin' snow! n/t

[longship]

16. Nadine lives in San Diego area.

Never any snow there. The most perfect weather on the planet.

Nadine was always diligent -- a great DUer. And the fucking bullies ran her off.

My regards.

[JDPriestly]

17. I wish we could get Nadine back.

8. I miss Nadine too! So stupid. DU is a worse place without her reporting... Boo

Not to thread jack the OP.

Sorry

5. Well, at least you didn't lose the car at the poo poo table.

Glad you're home safe and sound, old man.

9. Bro, my MOM called me (near tears) and asked what I'd need to get out of LV "At That Moment".

Gees I WISH I could get that much for the Tahoe! LOL.

It's as if she hardly knows me. Someday I'll tell you about a letter my Ex-Wife and I sent her when I was in the Navy where I wrote on one side of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper and she wrote on the other side as if she'd discovered a half-written letter, added HER side of the story, and sent it.

My Dad told me SIX WEEKS LATER that my Mom was on anti-depressants. I asked "WHY"? He said it was because my Wife was sleeping around, I was hooked on smack, and we were considering selling my oldest daughter to pay bills. NO ONE BOTHERED TO CALL, or consider that it was a joke... or ASK!

10. A great way to close out 2014 and ring in 2015!

11. That snow will make a spectacular backdrop for us in Pasadena

and the San Gabriel Valley. Enjoy, and Happy New Year.

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. Yes it will. The San Gabriel Mountains are beautiful in their own right...

I grew up in Norwalk, next to a street called Studebaker. Studebaker Road points RIGHT at Mt. Wilson. I can remember lots of times looking north on Studebaker Road, and seeing snow on Mt. Wilson.

It's gonna be COLD in Pasadena on Thursday. I wish I had it in me to go back to Colorado Boulevard on New Years Eve and party on the sidewalk til the PD let us move out to the line painted on the street... sleep there all night and watch the Parade up close!

[C Moon]

14. Wonderful!

I live near the ocean in Los Angeles, and it is friggin' freezing here (for so cal)! I'm digging it!

[JDPriestly]

15. Here in the lowlands of Los Angeles, can't wait to go out and check my pots and pans in the yard

(yes, I collect rainwater in them) and see how much rain we got. Wasn't much I fear.

[SunSeeker]

19. Can't wait to see what the mountains look like as I drive up the 605 tomorrow!

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. I grew up 400 yards from where the 105 terminates at the 605... if you take it to it's VERY end...

the 105 dumps onto Studebaker Road in Norwalk.

[SunSeeker]

25. Them's me stompin' grounds!

Happy New Year!

[Blue_In_AK]

20. PLEASE send some of that up here.

[pablo_marmol]

21. I've got a dear friend who lives in the high desert....... (Anza)

........and I'm waiting to see how he responds to my e-mail query about snow where he lives. I'll report back -- I doubt it's a matter of 'if' but rather 'how much'.

22. That's enough to make a snowman!
