Normally it is measured in feet, not inches. We are at 20% of normal for this time of year, not looking good. No winter snow means no water this summer.

You're talking about the mountains, where no one lives.

You're talking about the mountains, where no one lives.

In my area north of San Francisco, when it rains, it is usually warmer, only the hilltops and narrow valleys get any snow. No rain for the month of December to speak of, so that means almost every night it drops below freezing and the roads ice up. For a couple weeks there, some spots that don't get any sun in winter built up frost so heavy it looked like snow. I would rather have the snow, than all this ice.

Yes, there is a mountain range east of here that separates California from the rest of the US. It is a greater change in elevation heading east into Nevada over the Sierra's from here, than it is on either side of the Rockies. It traps a lot of moisture in the form of snow that California relies on for it's water supply. The highest and lowest points in the lower 48 are in California, and on a clear day, you can one point from the other.

What's with all the change? Everything at the same time. You know I had to look at name history to figure out who you were. That's inconvenient.

My mom's been giving me an hourly update on snowfall there in CT. I guess I'm supposed to feel bad that it's mild and dry here. But as The Postmaster says, we've had way too little in the way of precipitation this past year. By this time we should have had at least a few good rains down here.

What did that take, like two mouse clicks? American's are becoming so lazy, almost as lazy as all them foreigners that keep coming here looking for those streets of gold.

Even lazier is not bothering to change for name for ... like ... 8 years, or so.

I'm eating Skittles for breakfast. CABA style.

My mouse clicks, sir, are very precious to me.

So glad it's Friday. Taking care of an energetic puppy and a sick husband at the same time makes me tired.

I usually change after a suspension. It really confuses whatever nOOb mod is assigned to me, for about ten seconds.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that a fair number of posters in the Current Affairs forum appear to be having a really grouchy, snarky New Year?

It's 5 below zero. It's kind of cold.

It is cold up here.

alas, not much reporting of successful learning of tantric massage techniques.

Yes, that's what I attribute it to..
