Stop laughing, stop it! Shut up! Boulders are already rolling down onto freeways and shmushing cars. If this is just the first storm this is going to be a bad El Nino, just like they've been saying.
If it's anything like what's rolling through here, it will just pour and pour for several hours. It's still pouring here and I've been watching it come down since about 5:30.
It's going to be a bad El Nino but to be honest it's exactly what California needs right now. There's going to be some damage but that drought needs to get chipped away at and this is how California is able to do it.
The NWS Modeling Wizards here are calling for several brutal precipitation (re: Snow, 6" or more) events in late January through February. I'm stocking up on bacon.
Work schedule for week of Jan 5-9:
Order scaffold
Tear off tree-damaged portion of roof, beams and fascia
Mill T&G to match existing roof sheathing
Replace sheathing, beams, fascia
Install new comp roofing
It would be a bit more tolerable if it hadn't been shorts weather here two weeks ago. Normally your body has months to adjust to lower temps and stocking the sweater shelf.
Urgh, it rained All. Last. Week. 3" plus, Christmas through New Year's Eve, 58 degrees, dense fog and totally humid. Awful. Now, at least the mud's gone solid, but I forgot and went outside with a wet head early this AM and my hair froze. Good times.

Dallas Raines and Bri Winkler? Really?
Light rain since about 3:00 AM here in San Diego. Not yet approaching frog-strangler proportions.
Get out the kayak, it is def headed your way.
The frogs are treading water now.

That photo reminds me of this. A very well-shot ad, but may have given the message 'Our product is for losers'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjBHUQEiTPw

Thank you for posting that. Isn't that the most wonderful thing ever made by anyone, ever? #HAPPY
That's got a Sinatra vibe that I'm guessing was deliberate? Very stylish. Also so charming to my tin American ear, "Or three and tuppence for twenty."
Might as well settle in for an | Appropriate Read. |
Cool.
Izzat a Brassai?
My two dogs HATE this–the smaller one would NOT go at all. I know we need the rain, but FFS, can't it come at a reasonable pace? #bitchmoangrumble
Mine wants out to do her business, but when I let her out she just stands looking at me, like: "Please fix this."
Also, I just found a massive poop dump in a cat bed, I suspect it's my male cat, though, the turds are too big for the dog. (the cat is 16 pounds)
Cally, this will be our life for the next few weeks. #LeSigh.
This El Nino is now tied for the strongest on record, if you were wondering. Expect this kind of thing a lot this winter.

Tucson got .30 yesterday. SUNny now, so I'm happy. Waiting for the next wave tonight. If it's like this all week I can deal.

|Hahaha, LA Web cams right now.|
"Dallas Raines"
He's no |Dr. George Fischbeck|.
The best.
"L-L-L-LET'S look at the big map!"
|There's a burn area on the 101 south of Santa Barbara, mud flowing across the freeway, closing all but one southbound lane.|
That's the main (only) coastal freeway.
And this is just the first storm.
Needless to say: don't drive through water. Or mud Or walk. or bike.
Well, that just leaves Netflix.
Clouds moving in, but Imma shut up now . http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/05/heav…
Everything about that is terrible.
Hey look, kids! It's the other side of Trump's Wall!
That's just horrible.
oh geez…
*cringe* That is bad, but we have this going on now:

We went from the upper 50's to the teens and single digits in less than a week. Harsh.
SINGLE digits? #Yikes.
OK, you officially have it worse. Sorry.
Yes that does suck. A differential that extreme is bad enough, but when the low end is single digits, good god.
