#6 Deacon,
Onanism only makes you feel less cold.

#7 About 12 Years ago (Memory is not exact) we had a freak snowstorm here in Central Alabama, got around 8 inches.

I remember it clearly because I had a tremendous pine tree, over burdened by the snow cut my home in half, (Nobody hurt)

#8 Onanism only makes you feel less cold.

#10 There is one relatively reliable (but by no means infallible) computer model which gives detailed pressure and precip up to 10 days from the initialization period.

It is viewable at:

And shows an intense cold core storm in in the SCal area from day 6 to day 10.

#12 What do y'all in SoCal consider 'cold'; besides the Charger's playoff hopes?

We were 65 and calm yesterday and today 28 with 25mph winds, that drastic a change in half a day makes it that much more miserable - hope you all got cold gear stuff ready just in case.
