Oh man, it's BAD today!

 

That's about as bad as it gets here during the winter.

 

 

Go ahead! Lick the frost! You know you want to.

 

Ahh, makes me think of the movie A Christmas Story.

 

Fortunately out here it's only frost and I can lick it with no sticking.

 

Or Dumb and Dumber.

 

The expert has spoken!

 

"Just go man!"

 

For California, that's pretty intense. Is Arnold declaring a state of emergency?

I thinks it's time to call the National Guard.

If Sacramento is anything like Lost Angeles, your local network news went nuts, with special segments "WINTER STORMWATCH 2007!!!!", field reporters everywhere . . . "Yes Ted, I'm here at the Capitol Building and look! There's FROST!!!!!"

States of emergency declared, news bulletins announcing school closures, and special segments with doctors discussing how it's dangerous to your health it's so cold . . . .

And for God's sake, get your children indoors!!!! They could die!!!!!

I loved the over-reaction of L.A. News. If it drizzled it was called the Mother Of All Storms and they kept a death tally. Anyone who happened to die during the drizzle, it HAD to be related to the rain and was reported as such.

Good times.

 

hahaha I'm a frost licker, what can I say :o

 

Bwaaaaaa ha ha ha ha haaaa You know this to be sooooo true! You miss it here doncha Kobi?

 

Lmao. Your good!

 

Actually, I'm still getting Los Angeles networks on my sat dish, so when I watch the news it's LA news. Traffic reports are a great source of amusement. And when the rains starts up soon it's going to be even funnier. Just watching that moron Paul Moyer at KNBC or any of the clowns over at KCBS and KABC reporting as if the world is ending was always funny and will be even more so now.

The bad part will be the mudslides after all the fires. THey may actually have something to report this time.

Yup, hyperbole is not the order of the day here in the hinterland. It's just the opposite.

 

I did the opposite of you... I moved from the country (still in cali) to the "city". I can remember a couple of winters, standing in the pasture in a downpour at 2am digging up the lid to our septic tank. Or walking around 5acres wrapping all of the sprinklers and pipes with foam and newspaper. When I moved out with hubby I remember asking him "What do you guys do with your yardwaste? Where do you burn it? Do we need to buy a burn barrel?" He had NO clue what I was talking about. hahahaha
