Good Morning CoSoians!
Goal for the day:
Dig out mailbox and walkway so I can receive mail and Amazon deliveries. Plow drivers here suck. I'm not even going to try to unblock the driveway 😏 (No, the university maintenance crew didn't use their cool equipment on the sidewalk. Yet 🤞)
Anyone else get a lot of snow?
@Museek You got snow there? I don't remember that ever happening growing up.
@Kilikazen i know! yes.. it is super rare! How are you doing?
@Museek I remember it snowing when I lived in Ranch Santa Margherita (Orange County) when my son was a year old. Gosh, 1989, I was 20...so long ago lol. That was the first time and it was rare.
I'm finally doing well. My head is nearly screwed back on and life is balancing out for me.
How are you and the girls? I've missed you, sorry it took so long to straighten myself out. I've missed so much with you and my other friends here. 🤗 💛
@Kilikazen I am so glad for you.. <333 We are ok! I am busy all of the time but in here every day, at least. You needed to do what you needed to do, it sounds like and I am happy for you. I have missed you, too! take care.. stay warm!
@Kilikazen We got 6-7" with wind, but nothing like that.
@Dashdrum The wind makes drifts so even 6-7" is significant. Hope yours melts soon. 🔆
@LnzyHou Yikes, that is disturbing. What's your normal? I've looked into moving there. Do you like it?
I hope you get some later. Living in CA and CO wildfires have been a part of my whole life. I'd hate to see the forest there be too dry. 🙏🌨️
Lived in CO for 30+ yrs. Western NC much more moderate.
My oldest son in Parker CO and youngest in Bucks County PA. Both locations too severe for me.
@LnzyHou My kids are both in Littleton, CO. It wasn't so bad when I left 2 years ago. Not stoked with winter in SD. If I can finally find a good deal on a truck, I might drive out to the east coast this summer and check it out.
Yeah, I'm over dealing with too much snow. I do miss SoCal but it's not what I loved growing up now. Too many people! 😂
I worked at Swedish Medical Center for 7 yrs.
@LnzyHou OMG! I was there a number of times. Small world. ✊
Good morning! Just a little snow (or perhaps graupel as we've been told by our weather service) blanketed the Sierra foothills yesterday morning and was gone by afternoon.
California has some new kind of winter atmospheric river going on through tomorrow, and Southern California got blizzard warnings! 🙃
@peeppeepcircus I'm a 6th generation Californian with roots from some of the first farmers in Santa Clara. I don't know all of the stories but I think I'd remember snow. Lol
Blizzard warning? Damn, I need to pay closer attention to the news. I remember one when we went skiing at Big Bear, my dad and brothers (plus family friends) had to crawl out of the second story to shovel us out.
Hope your plants didn't die from this! OMG, the orchards and vineyards 😱 have you heard if they're ok?
i'm surrounded by orchards in the central valley and have my own fruit trees. generally, some people cover the citrus trees for winter, but some don't. some of my stone fruit trees started blossoming before this new storm hit, & I'm not sure what's next because the predictions keep changing. The growing seasons have been confusing plants the last couple yrs.
I post most of my CA weather stuff here w/ hashtags like:
CAwX
climatechange
Saw a "sanbernardinoblizzard" hashtag too!
@Kilikazen hey Kristy! wow..
yes.. oddly enough, we're getting it.. even on the beach! very rare for here. Stay warm! it is good to see you!
