#2 Where are all the Warm-mongers now? We just had the coldest January in 114 years. I could use some warming. A short-warm housmaid would do nicely.

#3 Yet another reason why I believe in climate change(s).

#4 LOL GK, thx! It has been cold here, nice today, unfortunately I've been home sick with the cold/flu. When I was a wee lad in '68 or so, it actually snowed along the coast. The climate does change here (just not as much as the rest of the world). We call it "weather"

#5 Last weekend it felt like summer. This weekend I'm freezing my little tushie off. I liked last weekend better. Being cold sucks.

#7 I talked to my parents in Valley Center last night - they were telling me all about the snowfall, and swearing that Al Gore had been nowhere near North County of late.

#8 Are they sure, Sgt. Mom?

Maybe he snuck in under the ~~weather~~ radar. ;-p

#9 They were pretty sure, Barbara; this storm snuck in under everyone's radar! They were listening to the emergency weather channel, and watching it snow, and there wasn't a word about snow until quite a lot of it had already fallen.

#10 Drove down to Colmar today. Sun was out, sweater weather...almost.

#11 today? Sunny, 70+, and no wind to speak of. Mom's right - the weathermen totally blew this storm.

How freaking hard is it to be a weatherman in San Diego?? 98% of the days you could say: "late nite/early morning low clouds and fog, burning off on the coast by mid-morning, clear inland, nice and sunny". Make it a macro and you'd only have to work on the other 2% of the days. Jeebus

#12 Are the reservoirs filling up yet?

#13 some - we're an inch above normal, I think for the year, which is measured by the bay. Palomar Mountain got 6" of rain in one day two weeks ago

#14 I'm sure it's sweltering in the Southern Hemisphere somehow.
