#1 Update- School for dec 18 were cancelled

The National Weather Service observation did record 3" of snow on the 17th.

Snow was widespread in the southwest US. Palmdale, CA (4k') had about 9"; the hills in Malibu Beach had a dusting about about the 2k'level, Lancaster, CA (2.5k') had about 3".

Over two dozen new record low maxima in San Diego and Imperial counties.

Quite an event.

Another cold/snow/rain event is possible early next week.

#2 You guys don't understand. All these record lows are just further proof of global warming. If you don't believe me just ask Gore.

Over two dozen new record low maxima in San Diego and Imperial counties.

It's been getting into the 40's in coastal San Diego County. I know you people think we're all candy ass out here but, when you're used to having 70 degrees all the time, 48 degrees is frickin' cold.

#4 Predicted here last week on the 'Burg. Nothing but josh'n from here Abu; if house and wardrobe ain't rigged for it 40s is plenty cold. I have seen what flurries do to Dallas traffic so I can only imagine your highway scene (goes double for airports).

Maybe y'all need something like the hurricane party and call it a Donner Party with theme food - Swedish Meatballs, Long Johns, Sloppy Joes, Oysters Rockefeller, Bloody Mary...
