Damn everybody OK?

[lozano]

Damn everybody OK? Mother Nature is angry. We are just getting rain but we are flooding.

[boesel]

good thing you have a boat. you'd best start collecting of all kinds of lesbians now. Wet snow hear. Turning to real snow. We're supposed to get an inch or so. The tide brought in all kinds of muck last night.

[belger]

hear=here pre-coffee posting.

[witting]

Snowing to beat the band west of Boston! The snowfall keeps changing direction and at times, is almost horizontal. I think I'll work from home today.

[tench]

I'm worried about the god-damned homeless here in Frisco freezing to death! So sad

[clever]

I noticed some of the usuals weren't in there doorways. Maybe they left for shelter. Others remain outside for whatever reasons...

[sorlie]

It is 7 below zero with out the wind chill. -35 with the chill factor.

[howry]

-34 wind chill this morning

[folk]

freakin under 30 with wind here cold corgi walk this morning

[grathwohl]

Batten down, BR, it isn't over for you yet. Much of the high desert survived 65-75mph winds yesterday. Once the coffee kicks in, clearing deadfall begins. Gratefully, it's a lot calmer and even sunny today which means kinder weather should reach the midwest and east coast in a few days... or at least I hope so.

[slowik]

I hope so too!

[Twila]

lots of wind here thankfully I think the white stuff will stay north and will just be rain and windy today. Why does it seem like it's going to be a long winter??? Is it just me this year???

[dealy]

It's an El Nino Winter, as in wet and wild. :-(

[Etty]

I guess I better dig out my poncho and sombrero then and get in the festive mood for it. Feels like the party will be dragging on for a few months.

[tillis]

And some really punchy chili peppers for salzah!

[bartunek]

and some refried beans... to go with those punchy chili peppers... and some chips... Can you tell I wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast this a.m.? I'm starting to get the hungries.

[centers]

No, it is La Nina this year it should be more mild... it has been here. Last year for me was bitter cold, especially Jan and Feb. The entire anchorage froze solid except for a small area around my boat and there was NO getting warm.

[schrag]

It's (supposed to be) a boy this year - el nino according to NOAA: I'm waitin' on the rain to end this utterly un-Californian cold snap.

[cleva]

Berkeley folks overreacting Yesterday my girlfriend saw a lady who had dressed her Alaskan Malamute in a parka to go for a walk. That poor dog. What must the other Malamutes think?

[Anna]

Cold here - REALLY cold for PDX - but clear. I know the East Coast is nuts right now. Hang in there, friends! Here, have some hot chocolate..... In happy news here, my local shelter just rescued x dogs from Eastern OR who were - well, let's just say they were not being well cared for (the actual facts need a disclaimer, but they all seem fairly well-socialized considering what they've been through.) Also on the same day, x rat terrier mixes were surrendered to our shelter from a puppy mill. So x dogs will be warm and safe today, and all will soon find happy homes. Can't wait to meet them all on Friday!
