Snow in Orange County?

[dclamp]

WHAT!? 50% chance.

[techgnome]

Because that's how the OC rolls...

San Berdoo's been getting snow for weeks... OC is a bit behind the times there.
I see it's also for just an hour. Oh, just because it snows, doesn't mean it'll stick, or even hit the ground. I remember on year it "snowed" ... the flakes drifted down until about 2 feet above the ground, where it melted, and vaporized...

I don't expect it to stay for long. But it would be awesome if it at least made landfall. I haven't been in the snow in a few years so it will be kinda fun. Then I will get too cold and go back inside.

Are you from SB?

[techgnome]

Originally. Lived in Rancho Cuca, right at the base of Cajon Pass.
Before I went into the military and left the state, I worked at DLand a couple summers.
But for all the years I lived out there, I never went skiing at Big Bear or Baldy. All my skiing was up at Mammoth (worked there too), the Sierra Nevadas, or in Utah.... go figure.

We lived right at the base of Baldy, top of the foothills. Back in High School, every once in a while some enterprising person would take their truck up the hill to the snow lines, fill it with snow, drag it back down, and dump it out on the school's front lawn. There have been quite the few snowball fights in class.

One thing that remains constant is climate!

Er, ...

[dclamp]

Ah very well. I despise the Cajon Pass very much. Have driven through there a few times in heavy rain, in heavy fog, and both. It sucks mostly because other people suck at driving.

I have never been skiing or snowboarding at all.

Going Snowboarding in the Alps in a couple of weeks.


Weeeeh! Treeeee! Aaaaaarrrgh!

[techgnome]

Anytime I think of the Alps, I think of this... not sure why.... :P

[FunkyDexter]

Never seen it so I don't know why either.

[dclamp]

It didn't snow.

It's actually a half-way decent movie. Probably has to do with the fact that the Eiger Mountain is in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland.

Those 70s action flicks were generally pretty good IMO. They were far less formulaic than they are today and some of the actors could actually act.

It didn't snow

Buy a pillow, cut a hole in it, wave it around and pretend.

[SJWhiteley]

50% simply means the weather guy have no idea whether it's going to snow or not. It's part of their training.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Out here, 50% means that the precipitation will make it 50% of the way to the ground. We are in an odd weather pocket, tucked between two mountain ranges that tend to extract the moisture for themselves....the greedy bastards.

Just don't end up like Michael Schumacher...

[RobDog888]

Supossed to be down to 31 tonight but no rain or snow

[dclamp]

Damn weather is being selfish. We want snow.

[RobDog888]

No, I want warm sunny weather again. Bring on summer!

[dclamp]

warm sunny. Yes. Not too hot. Not too cold.

I have no control of the climate in my office at work. It comes and and off as it wishes. For the last week I have had to deal with an endless cycle of 5 minutes of cold AC switched to 5 minutes of heat. Its attempting to keep the temperature between two set points, but its not doing it effectively. Instead of just turning off the air or the heat, it turns the opposite on to keep it set. Its annoying.

[RobDog888]

At least you have heat. Here in my office its freezing cold. Everyone has jackets on in the office. Might as well be working outside

[Shaggy Hiker]

Is this your composite business that is so cold? If so, just think of the layers of clothing as laminations.

[RobDog888]

@Shaggs, naw Im still here programming for a couple more weeks. But once Im at the shop it will be even colder

[dclamp]

Wear a snuggie

[RobDog888]

I have one on and its not helping

[dclamp]

Heated blanket?

[RobDog888]

Cant afford heat. Have to save the heat to cook my top ramen noodles

[dclamp]

You dont *need* heat for you top ramen. Just sprinkle the seasoning on the brick and eat it.

[RobDog888]

Naw, may break a tooth and then waste a grip of cash on a dental visit

[dclamp]

Dentist? Apple a day keeps the dentist away.

Says the guy with the brand new Mustang GT...

Sacrafices had to be made -_-

at least for a few more months until the Shelby is paid off. Then its steak again

[TysonLPrice]

On my way to work this morning the read out in my car was -4 Fahrenheit.

[dilettante]

Orange County? California I guess, not one of the others.

So California hasn't cracked off and slid into the ocean yet I see.

[techgnome]

It was never going to... it's the rest of the US that's going to crack off and slide into the Atlantic.

Mid to high 30's Currently 39F

We've been socked in with Fog for the last three days. Light rain showers occasionally.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Low 30s, but up near 50 at 6,000 feet, which is more than 3,000 feet above me. Unfortunately, that warmer reading was taken at the ski area. That's not really the way you want it.

[dclamp]

Still no snow.

That's not really the way the ski area and its customers want it. You dare not speak for the rest of us! (-3 at 8am yesterday)
