WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Tank]

Lol, I was listening to KROQ online this morning and they were saying how there was a 10 mile backup on the 10 from a crash and a ton of other backups.  Amazing how much rain wrecks LA.

 

that's because people are morons and won't slow down.

It's insanely windy up here in the mountains today.  I'm waiting for trees to be uprooted.

[Blarg]

I took the day off from work today and will make it up working through the weekend.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Poured buckets here last night.  Good thing I fixed all my gutters last weekend, otherwise it would've been a mess. 

 

I missed weather.

Slept with the window open last night. A thing of beauty. Loved the rain.

I hope your good sleep and green grass is worth it.

People are morons. Just drive the same in rain, especially light rain....unless you have bad tires that are susceptible to hydroplaning in which case just move over to the right and slow down.

 

Why people just stop or drop 20-30 mph because of some water drops is something I never understood. Friends from out of state in rain heavy climates don't get it either.

Your rain will soon be our snow.

Had some winds yesterday morning about 50-60 MPH, brief heavy rain. Supposed to rain all day today, which is unusual.

Nice heavy rain at school today, and when it poured again after school was over, it was pure bliss. No noise except for the rain - perfect way to end the work week.

There was a drought and now it's raining. We're all gonna die!

[St1ck]

Some serious damage had to have been done to the drought the last couple days. I was woken up from a drunken slumber it was raining so hard last night.

Too bad most of the rain will run off into the ocean.  The problem with heavy rain is that it has nowhere to go so it just all runs into the ocean.  Wont help the drought that much.

[St1ck]

I'll run you off into the ocean. 

[Adam]

Seasons!

MWDOC has systems that catch a lot of it and let it settle into the water table. Also many of the reservoirs in Norcal will start to fill back up.

Just had the loudest clap of thunder EVER here in Long Beach. My house actually shook, and now the rain is unbelievable.

 

More thunder now, even louder!!!

[nate]

Thunderstorms are awesome.

[fan_since79]

There are large thunderstorms right off the coast. Long Beach and surrounding cities will get hit hard in the next hour or so.

Depends. The Central Valley has been hit the hardest in the drought with no ocean for run off. Instead, the heavy rains are filling up the empty reservoirs that were once lakes. But the bigger picture is that these heavy storms bring huge amounts of snow, that will be collected as it melts throughout spring.

Low to mid 80's in Tempe next weekend. Perfect temps for tossing back some "Casey Crushers" poolside at the Buttes.

I'd been wondering about this very thing. So much water fills the LA river that it would be worth someone's effort to try and collect at least some of it. Glad to hear someone is doing something.

In that vein, the Big Tujunga reservoir rose 12 feet this weekend.

For my next miracle, working to make peace with the Native American spirits near Angel Stadium

Hopefully you can get that done in less than 27 pages. You know it's a slow offseason when a thread about weather in SoCal can get to 27 pages.
