It's overcast and windy here. Only about 52 but seems colder. Sea, I was just checking out the latest weather update and it says that snow levels will fall quickly tonight down to 3,500-4,000 feet. Then another drop later to 3,000 and may occassionally fall to 2,500 (which is us) during the late night/early morning hours. The kids are all excited, but really if we're having rain and only the occassional bits of snow, it'll never even hit the ground or if it does will melt as soon as it lands.

Wow it is 42 here, War! But no great amount of rain, still more wind, so maybe it came in north or south (in view of Pamy's post) of here. Just a gloomy gloomy day out there.

I just got a new weather update. Rain overnight which will turn to snow. The update says that the foothills (which would be Palmdale and maybe the outskirts of Lancaster) will have snow stick and even the floor of teh valley (the rest of Lancaster-that's us) should have a small dusting of snow in the morning. It's already 38 here. Oh and the wind we'll have to deal with.

It is 49 now and has kept raining and it smells all clean and green outside NOt too much wind at the moment. No chance of snow here at like well just a bit higher than se level. I hope Moonie isn't downhill from that burn area. I know the people in Moorpark were really worrying about flooding in the recent burn areas
Hope you get fun snow, War!!

Pfft on the snow. The winds died down here, in fact part of our severe weather warning was cancelled a few minutes ago...it had been for snow/blowing snow making for bad driving conditions and low visibility. Now it's just for the possibility of snow until about 9:30 tomorrow morning. I'm worrying about those burn areas too. Some of those areas just don't need anymore rain!

Woo hoo! Latest weather advisory a minute ago was to cancel the snow advisory cuz the storm has died out. All we got was a light misting of rain earlier, couldn't even call it sprinkling. The wind is back though, lol.

That's a lot of snow, Whoami. December 21, 2006 is the shortest day of the year. In Fairbanks, AK that means: Sunrise - 10:58 AM Sunset - 2:40 PM Total daylight - 3h 42m 05s Down 0m 12s from 12/20/06 The bright side is that it's also the longest night of the year and we should all take full advantage of it. On Friday it starts going the other way and we gain 8 seconds of daylight. LOL

Just tried to let Bomba out again (check out the other pics in the Dogs thread). I went out with him and tried to shovel a path. The whole yard is actually that deep! I drove the shovel into a random spot in the yard (no drift area), and came back in and measured.....22 1/2 inches!

Ugh! If all I had to do was to sit in here and look out at it, I might find it kinda cool too! But.....I have a single plastic shovel, my own two hands, bad knees, a not-so-cooperative back....and a driveway/sidewalk that needs shoveling. Add in the snowbank that's probably 3 or 4 more feet of having to hack through to get my car out of the driveway should roads be passable by Monday..... Although I wish I had a snowblower, I'm not so sure one would even work in this mess. Oh, and I can't even take advantage of any neighborhood kids that might want to come by and earn a little money shoveling us out, cause I have absolutely no cash, and I even ran out of checks the other day. The new checks are probably sitting in a USPS hub somewhere as we speak, waiting for the roads to be passable. Not to mention the gifts I ordered for my neice/nephew made it into a UPS hub in the Denver area, and might just likely sit there now till after Christmas. <grumble, mumble, grumble, gripe> Oops, I guess I should be in the Gripes thread! LOL.

Well, looks like someone above is looking after me. Some kids came to the door, I told them the situation....and they're shoveling the walk and will take an IOU. Amazing!

Here in SW Ontario we are to have around 50F or 10C...so much for a white Christmas here. It is sad when it is like this, esp when you have the kids home for 2 weeks from school and the only thing you can send them out in to play in is either wet or hard mud...yuck yuck yuck. Hopefully if we are not going to get snow for a bit, we have a blast when we are in Hawaii in January while we are in the warmth lol
