Thread: SOCAL & WSW Weather

Tweet

Been hearing lots of news of mud & flooding in much of SOCAL, into Arizona and Nevada, and hoping that members in those areas are making it OK and are able to enjoy Christmas in their homes.

Hoss, that picture was in our KC Star yesterday saying it was Highland, CA which is due east of Burbank on the fringes of the metro.

Hope he gets that 65 mustang dried out.

Yeah, that picture is one reason I posted - the guy is standing on silt that is above the bottom of the windows on his house about doorknob level. Looks like the Mustang floated up before the silt set up.

Bad deal, makes are 8" of snow quite insignificant.....

This is from the Weather Channel :

The first part of the clip is a restored 'A', then a '50's Chevy p/u

We usually have a bunch of snow by now, but my front lawn - still green with only 2 -3 dustings so far!! Syracuse 140 miles West has about 7 FEET of snow on the ground.

My area - it WILL suffer before winter is done though

The mountains got 17 feet of snow in two days. We got 7" of rain at my house. Merry Christmas. Poor Santa

Thats a horrible thing to go through at any time,,even worse at Christmas ...A shocking way to finish the year,,our prayers go out to all those who have been affected by the weather you are getting..and I hope no one on here has lost anything/too much.

Heck People how sad to have that happen on any time of year let alone Christmas. My prayers will go out to those who have been caught out with that weather.

Its not been bad in Norcal yet, but if continues it will be, they have 18 ft in the mountains now, its still early in the year, they`ve already opened up a lot of the gates on the reservoirs in anticipation of the rain before it even started.

Well my area just had another ho-hum snow 'event'. The Weather Channel and the locals all predicted a huge dump here. Well we didn't get it. Maybe 6" which in past years would have been a snow squall. Some areas South of here did get a bunch, but the only bad part of ours is the wind. After I finally got the tractor going (summer blend diesel fuel) it took about 20 minutes to do the drive.

Oh well - off to 'fuss' with a couple of things on my car

Dave we understand today you are getting hammered by storms...?

Not sure how bad Dave caught it, but, over my way (So.eastern Mass) we caught it pretty good. It snowed, then rained, now frozen! 15 degrees right now. If you didn't clear the mess yesterday, then it's just a block of ice now! We only had 6 or 8 inches but the town just north of us got 18 inches!

I'm glad I cleaned off the daily driver as there's no way you'd be opening those doors today! My 1970 Cub Cadet w\plow dug me out once again! My wife freaks out if I pick up a snow shovel since the heart attack 2 years ago....

Wow! Snow melts, water runs off, but the mud stays and gets hard. I would not know where to start. I cleaned up at my mother in laws house after a tornado in 1984. She lived on a lake in Texas and a tornado came thru and knocked over 40 trees, pulled a steel pipe boat dock out of the lake pipe and all, and carried off a 10X20 storage building. Don't know where either went. A couple chain saws and we could clean up! Where do you start with all that mud?
