    After driving through southern Wyoming at the end of this past March, I’d call what southern Oregon is currently going through “just another day in Wyoming in the winter”.......but then, the “new wave” Oregonian tends to shit their pants when they see a snowflake (absolutely NO political reference intended)........and they make up trendy new terms for just another snowstorm......

    If snowdays were called in Iowa when I was a kid like they are in Oregon....I'd have gone to school for a few weeks a year. Two inches on the road and they call it. Also in Iowa the snowplow NEVER makes drifts in your driveway...here they don't seem to give a shit about that

    Actually melting polar caps do cause cold wind and snow.....It's coming to your beach anyday now!

    The one thing I loved in LA was the thrift stores.....best winter clothes from all over the world get dropped off there as soon as the newbies show up.

    You should see it when it gets in the 50s. EVERYONE is dressed up in scarves and baller jackets just flossing them out.

    That's what I called a raincoat when I was a very little boy. Not sure where I picked it up from.

    Wow!!must be more isolated than originally predicted form what I heard. I know northern Cali got some rain, then a bit of snow, then 90 mph winds for a bit, but then gone as quick as it came... reports from a friend outside of Redding.

    You are going to have a great Thanksgiving. :)
