Quoted: Pffft.....come on up to Minnesota. We'll show you a real "STRONG POLAR JET STREAM"...

Really.  It always cracks me up when Kalifornians, Texans and Floridians complain about their weather.

They don't know what they're missing.

I hate rain.

Outsider..  what border?

No mention of this on tonights TV weather broadcasts.

Quoted: Outsider..  what border?

He's suggesting shooting fellow Americans.

Take care, So-Cal

SHOWERY WEATHER

WTF?

Even the weather report sounds fruity in Kali. It's either rain or rain & thunderstorms. Tell me this, does the Kali. NWS NOAA weather report robot speak with a lisp?

Americans.... from there?  

All I can say is that I hope this is one more step to ending the 10+ year drought the West has been plagued with.

HA HA.  

Looks like it's going to be mostly sunny/partly cloudy and near 90 degrees here all weekend!


... too bad I'm working all weekend...

That cause where we live men are men and we are used to something other than "sunny and 70 today"

Quoted: That cause where we live men are men and we are used to something other than "sunny and 70 today"

well, i guess when it's not HURRICANEING, it is usually sunny and 70-90, but the other side of the coin is a BITCH

HUGE STORM TO SLAM INTO KALIFORNIA

Um... who really cares??

While we're at it, can mother nature slam in to New York??

How about Wisconsin and Illinois??

I've got a grocery list of shit holes to bring nature's fury to - where do I submit my request?

I broke the dam.

For the past 3 days or so, it has been pretty nice here in L.A., highs in the low 70s, and at least for calm winds at my house.  I've been in some areas where there was 20-25MPH winds.

We've been through a few 6.0 earthquakes, conflagrations, and the OJ & Micheal Jackson trials, this should be easy.

Quoted: I broke the dam.

i heard feinswine always has her finger in the dike..... does that count?

I hope its "The BIG One"

Quoted: OOOH TEH NOES!!!

Oh teh post whore!

My line was from Southpark - the Global Warming episode.

The weather here is definatly changing. Last year, in San Jose, we had a lot (and I mean a lot!) of rain. Way more than usual. This year is shaping up to be the same thing except it seems colder this year as well.

I'm in the so-cal mountains and we're ready for it, plenty of candles, lamp oil, firewood, all in case the power goes out. Plenty of food, fresh, canned, and dried. The kids have their snow toys ready and I have my binoculars ready to watch all the flatlanders do squirrely things in thier soccer-mom-mobiles as they come up to play in the "white shit". *shrugs* BTDT before.

Quoted: is it still landslide season???

Heh! This is Cali!

It's always disaster season!

It Never Rains In Southern California

ALBERT HAMMOND  

Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true
Sure rang true

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

[Instrumental Interlude]

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Quoted: I'm in the so-cal Nor-Cal mountains and we're ready for it, plenty of candles, lamp oil, firewood, all in case the power goes out. Plenty of food, fresh, canned, and dried.

This was easier than me typing all the same stuff

Nice warm basement just waiting.

Thanks for that warload, but I prefere "Lord of War" take care of you and yours.
BTW conflagration: destructive fire
