Ack Beek, you guys are really getting hit hard this year. I'm sorry ya'll have another mess.

Same here as teh other So Cal'ers. Little bit of ligth rain this morning and then nothing, then right about 5:30 it really started to pour. It's almost cold enough for it to be snow (and when I checked a couple minutes ago I see that we now have a snow advisory.) Palmdale, which is right up against the mountains, will probably have snow in the morning though I doubt we will. The advisory said that snow levels could be under 3,000 ft, which would be us.

I have a bit of a dilema. Caleb's been sick all weekend with a cold, running a pretty high fever. He spent most of yesterday afternoon/night and most of today sleeping. Seems like his fever is finally breaking and he was up, not too active, but up this evening. Tomorrow's the first day back to school in three weeks and if he's feeling better I hate for him to miss a day, but I don't know that I want to send him if the weather is gonna be nasty.

Looks like a muddy mess.. actually we hauled lots of BIG rocks around and made borders and such when we moved to Modjeska right after the huge rains of '69, so something good can come. I think we found a fossil rock or two as well.. not to mention a variety of items from way upstream ..

I see that the new secion of your fence is holding up nicely..

These are pics of Beekindpleez's fossil rock she found when cleaning up from the mudslide above. My boy says "Sweet!" I agree. Totally cool, Beekindpleez.

Thank you, ZsaZsa! You're the ginchiest!

Yep...sweet is right. That's the best one we've ever found. It's so detailed.

You can really see the swirl in the bottom left in great detail.
We think we might sink it into the fireplace hearth. We've put some others there.

my brain has gone blank as to what that is called.....something that starts with A

Woo hoo FREE rocks. Around here you have to buy large rock unless you happen to have them on your land as you clear it.

We had a wild night, with the third of the storms finally whomping us. Since we are the southern end, I can only imagine what those in the LA/OC areas felt. From about 10pm till 2am, we had pouring rain, howling screeching winds, and I think there was thunder and lightning. I barely slept; just as I'd fall asleep again the wind would howl so loudly it'd wake me right back up. We're still under all the "watches" (flash flood, high winds, high surf, coastal flooding), but things should start to clear up later today. And next weekend we're looking for a Santa Ana -- perfect for drying out! (And a good chance for some of the grasses to start to really take root in the burn areas.)

This has been one of the worst three days of weather that I can remember in a long time.

At least everything has been restored in our offices in the Bay Area. We had some flooding and leaking, in addition to the power outages. The poor IT geeks spent much of the weekend mopping up, using tarps to protect desks, moving desktop computers from the floor to, well, desktops, and gradually powering back up all the servers. Looks like we'll be back at work today (although, since I'm down here, I have no idea what it actually looks like up there! <grin>).

Tee hee, I just checked the weather report, we're still under a snow advisory, the temp is listed at 32 and it says we have fog. Look out the window and we have bright blue skies, the sun is shining and birds are chirping. Fog must be invisible, lol.

It was like that here too Costa, though it was a little later (probably about 4) before it stopped. Everytime I closed my eyes and would start to drift off I'd hear crashing or scratching or howling. And then once it stopped and I finally got to sleep, I felt tap tap tap...cracked open one eye and Caleb was standing there hacking and gagging telling me he didn't feel good. He was up the next couple hours, finally told him to get in bed with me and handed him the remote so he could watch tv and I could try for an hour or so of sleep.

I thought the third part was supposed to be lighter than the first two? Minus the losing power Friday night, I'm pretty sure this one was worse!

Wargod, it is cloudy in Boston today but it is supposed to be about 50 out tomorrow is going to be close to 60 then rain comming in Wednesday (which I am sure it will be nothing like the West coast has been having, so I will not complain)

War, it didn't actually "stop" at 2am, but the wildness abated somewhat. In fact, it's sprinkling right now, and has been off and on. And it's still quite windy out, but no where near the howling banshee it was between 10 and 2!!!

I think the third part was supposed to be the coldest part, but I don't remember anyone saying it was gonna be banshee's wailing. This one wasn't as bad as the Friday/Saturday one though. We didn't get near the rainfall as we did then.

Still, it is FRICKIN' COLD!!!!! (And yes, 54 degrees is cold!)

Sunsh...if you happen to remember what it's called, could you please let me know? I'm curious about this particular fossil and would appreciate any info. And please feel free to come gather all the rocks you want.

Costa...This has been one of the worst three days of weather that I can remember in a long time. That is so true.

We felt lucky that we had down-time between each storm to get some clean-up and more prepping done between the storms, but it really was a wild ride.
And, of course, the worst parts of the storms always happened in the middle of the night.

And yep...it IS "frickin' cold" !!

Our clouds came back in the last couple hours, not bad and doesn't really look like storm clouds. All of the mountains got covered in snow last night. Towards Tehachapi looks to have been pretty heavy, towards Palmdale, not so heavy and that looks like it didn't get as low as the city. It's kinda pretty, but yeah, frickin cold out!

How fun to find such a wonderful fossil rock!

We've got gusts of 29mph winds around here again. Wish some of the 'scattered' showers would scatter some rain down on us.

It never got what I'd call wild here.. just steady rain (unless it did the wild part while I slept).. today lots of wet grass and ground but the earlier clouds are gone and I'm looking at blue sky and some sun.

Whoa! Talk about weird weather. We are having tornado warnings here in Missouri. They are a bit south of me here near KC, but certainly a strange event for January.

Very cool fossil, Bee! Do you think it is a plant or a bug?

I also have to say how glad I am that that extra folder we used to have to click on to get into this one, is gone! I never understood that!
