Well, it's supposed to be 80 in LA tomorrow, but then it's supposed to get VERY VERY COLD this weekend. How cold, you say? 58. As someone from Washington DC who just lived in Canada for 9 years, I can only say .... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LOL, Yankee.. give it time here and your blood will thin out. It is 56 right now in Fountain Valley, so it will be colder overnight. (prediction is 49 at 6am)

Today was a lovely day, sunny, breezy and a comfy 84. Tonight the stars are out and I can see Mars glowing in the sky.

Uh oh ...
Texannie, perhaps you have forgotten that one year when I went to Los Angeles and we had a little meet, Rosie barely made it back home because of bad weather, and next day it snowed!! Ladytex, I suppose I have not mentioned that about four weeks ago we had like three inches of rain in an hour, broke a hundred year record. It also rained a lot inside the condo.

It never got out of the 40's here today, but we did have sunshine. RN, it's about 33 deg and should be down in the 20's by morning. That's just a bit too cold for my old bones.

Juju, have you been to Ca recently? We've had more rain the last month than I think we did all last year. Don't know the temp here right now, but it is cold. Turned the heater in the hallway on about 2 hours ago and shut the hall door to heat up the bedrooms. Just put the kidlets in bed and it's still cold back there. We've had a fire going in the den all night.

I am not sure I have ever seen so much rain, it has been pouring non stop since last night/early this morning. Pouring, flooding rain. But thank God it is not snow. In case anybody didn't know this I HATE SNOW!!!!!

We had rain all day yesterday that turned to ice once the temperature started dropping. When I came home, I had a couple of branches in my driveway from the large maple tree in my front yard. Around 7:30 last night, I hear a giant crash out front, and looked out to find a HUGE tree limb from the same tree had fallen in the road. My neighbor went out (young manly guy) and said he was going to get out his chainsaw. I told him, no, it's till raining and icy, and I didn't want him to risk getting hurt, so I'd call 911 and they would send someone out. I called 911, and within an hour, the township had the road cleared away. They'll be back next week to pick up the debris. I'll see if I can get a picture of the piles of debris later this morning. I think that's the first time I've ever called 911 in my life!

Not yet, Juju, and today we're wondering why not! We stay here to have Christmas with my mom and one daughter and son-in-law. We get good and miserable through January, then we take off to Florida for three warm, sunny months. Oh man, what a mess we have this morning! We got a little snow overnight. Then the snow turned to cold rain and is still pouring down, freezing on the trees and making a big, slushy mess everywhere. DH is out right now, snowblowing, which is hard because the snow is so heavy with water. When it blows out the chute, it lands on the ground as water, and he is slogging through inches of water at this point. Prisoner, that crash must have been scary! Good for you for sending the neighbor back inside. That stuff is best left to the professionals.

I am hoping and praying the forecasters are wrong!!! My grandsons are flying in on Sunday from Minot, ND. They are under a blizzard watch, then here in Oregon, Portland is under severe weather watch!! I want them to be safe but I will cry like a baby if they can't come. What do the airlines do if a flight is cancelled because of weather? I've got both emotional and financial investment in this!

We've had a few sprinkles this morning and it's very dark and gloomy. It is also freezing, icy cold outside. I've heard some rumors that we might get snow this weekend and hate to say it but it certainly feels like it. Darren's driving home from Sacramento (I think later today.) Worried about them getting stuck in nasty weather coming over the grapevine.

We are getting severe wind warnings out here on the coast. The winds are already strong. They are telling us to keep away from the beaches (and it is a clam digging weekend too) that the tides will be a foot higher. DH went in and filled up gas cans for the generators and I am loading the MP3 players with the audio books I can download from the library. We bought boxes of candles when they were on sale this summer. I guess we are getting used to living on the ocean! Good luck to all in these winter storms.
