5. I was going to go out
but then I went... nope, I can make myself that latte and stay safe and dry.

This is one of those storms that if you do not need to go out.

2. Thanks for the heads up and your concern.
It's supposed to rain thru Thursday. I'm sure it will be nothing compared to the Nor'easters I went thru in NY.

10. Pic taken out my front door just now.
Not too bad at the moment. That's the Pacific Ocean in the background, just the clouds are blocking it.

21. Yep, according to the weather service I will be on the

I know that right now that might be the case... and I hope it stays that way.

19. Thank you Gin....I love California
Lived here my whole life and traveled to many other states and love the beauty that they all have to offer too. But my heart is with California.

I love the idea of where I live I'm able to drive one to three hours in different directions and be either at the border to Mexico, or in Las Vegas, or in the San Bernardino mountains snow skiing, or in the desert enjoying the open skies while camping/barbecuing with friends, or being able to walk down to the beach for a walk along the beach, or a short drive to Hollywood to enjoy some rock bands playing at the numerous rock houses, and there's so much more as well.

I guess I better stop before I'm ranting.. :)


Cheers Gin,
:hi:

16. Oh trust me, there are reasons to keep an eye on it
including all the homeless that live by it.

And of course the usual idiot that drives through barriers in Fashion Valley.

24. Looks bad, but doppler shows the rain about three hours away at the earliest.
Still mostly up north/OC and Northern SD county area; dark green and yellow. This looks like a late Feb/early March douser, and it's pretty much out of season, just like our October rains were.
I'm running my errands now, while I still have joints that work, and hunkering down for later. I'd hate to be out when the rain starts after sundown.

Still have to do a Commesary run tomorrow morning, but that won't be too bad, the roads usually aren't too busy at 8 in the morning on a dismal Saturday.
