Dear Fellow Californians, According To The CBS Evening News, The WORST Of The Storms Is Coming On...

[WillyT]

Tuesday, and may last into Wednesday.

Plan accordingly!

:wow:

:scared:

:hi:

1. Good! I can't wait to cross country skiing here in Chicago we haven't got

enough snow yet. I need my fix.

:bounce:

[stray cat]

2. I have a layover in Chicago the 23rd - can you get it before or after that?

[HuckleB]

20. Come on out to Oregon and Washington!

I was up on Mt. Hood today, cross-country skiing with my wife and kid. The snow was incredible!

:toast:

BTW, look up Methow Valley. It's a cross-country mecca, and might be a great vacation sometime.

3. FUN... NOT

So far it's been pretty quiet here.

But i am truly at the edge of the storm.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

8. I too am in the center thrust

Staying with friends as planned for well before this came along. I did ride a dirt capable bike...just in case.

[SoCalDem]

12. Is it equipped with pontoons?

:)

[ProgressiveProfessor]

23. KLR-650 can go anywhere...

Its a nasty ride for distance on the street, but comes into its own off road. Old school bike for an old guy

[Xicano]

14. Been pouring down here where I am.

Been that way for a few hours now.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Let me check the doppler again

Very light rain where I am... but around Escondido it is solid and nasty.

One of those things one learns to do in rescue... read the damn maps.

Iam almost willing to bet there is somewhat of a high south of us, keeping this stream well in it's path.

[WillyT]

4. I Wonder... Is That Tuesday's Menu On The Bottom Left Of The Screen ???

:shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. You know what is scary?

this is NOT a regular pineapple express, it goes all the way to the Western Pacific.

[WillyT]

9. I Heard That Too... It's Coming All The Way From ASIA !!!

:wow:

:wtf:

:shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Global Weather Change

[Warpy]

25. I guess it'll stay soggy here in the high desert.

As long as most of the snow stays on the mountains, I'm fine with it.

[sabrina 1]

19. That looks nasty. We are in Ojai and it's been raining for

nearly three days. I did hear it was going to keep raining for at least three more with stronger winds starting tomorrow. It's not cold, but not windy so far.

Thanks for the map. What does the red represent? Also I see something in the middle of the screen at the very bottom. Is that another storm heading towards this one?

[pinboy3niner]

5. It may last longer...

According to the L.A.Times (which gets its forecasts from Weather Central LLC), in SoCal "Rain is likely to be in the picture throught at least the middle to latter part of the week."

Stay warm and dry, everybody!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. And if in low laying areas

tune in to civil defense, especially if... in an area prone to floods.

[JDPriestly]

26. Thanks, but my husband and I love walking in the rain.

[davidinalameda]

10. maybe this will help relieve the drought

:shrug:

[David__77]

11. Ugh... it looks terrible outside, like a bomb went off.

At least there's only one more leaf sweeping. All the trees lost all their leaves.

[Scottybeamer70]

16. Storms..........

Am in southern end of San Joaquin Valley......been raining for
three days now........more to come.......hope I can stay dry!!!

[WillyT]

17. Be Careful Down There...

:hi:

[FirstLight]

18. High Sierras/tahoe checking in

rained/POURED for the past 48 hours at lake level, serious snow and avalanche stuff in the higher country

rain turned to snow this afternoon, so now we are getting dumped on too
winds gusting up to 50 in town and 100 on the ridges

fun, fun...

and i still have shopping to do, yes i do...

yuk.

[JI7]

21. great, i love how the oceans look in the rain

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. Here in the mountains of San Berdoo it's rained for over 30 solid hours.

We had wind gusts of over 55 mph last night. Both ski resorts here in town, Bear Mountain and Snow Summit, will close temporarily tomorrow and hopefully open again Thursday, and Snow Valley Resort has closed for the season.

A shitload of snow is expected Tuesday and Wednesday though! Sucks for me though because my driveway is sloped 18 degrees and curved. (I fucking HATE shoveling snow)

Here's the current radar pic where I am (just above the a in San Bernardino)

24. I hope our road doesn't wash out.

That would just be the icing. :mad:

[Le Taz Hot]

27. The San Joaquin Valley has had a variety of results.

Fresno has gotten less than an inch and it's been a slow, drizzly rain which the ponding basins have been able to handle. Visalia, 45 minutes south of us, is getting pummeled. Hwy. 198 was closed due to flooding. This is when it's a good thing to live in an older housing tract when the houses were built on a slight incline. Housing tracts that are flooding is all the newer ones.
