thought this was the "SEVERE" weather thread.... not the "we got a dusting" thread

Hell yea.... you guys are screwed. Ice blows.

 

Just ran to the store and by the time I came back the snow on my steps had turned to ice. All these morons down here are gonna think that since snow isn't falling its safe to drive again. I saw 3 girls throwing boiling water on their windows driving through my complex

 

My breezeway door is the one used most of the time. I've known it's pretty bad. All wood, no insulation and single pane windows. I burn wood all winter. The stove hasn't been cold in weeks. I put in a large humidifier this winter. The pot on the stove didn't cut it. The condensation on the inside of the door drips to the bottom and the door freezes shut. I can kick it open from the outside but inside I gotta pull the knob. It soon pulled off. I screwed in a handle near the bottom and it works but I gotta yank it hard. It's averaged about 6°f all week. I think I'll be getting a new door when the weather breaks.

 

It's currently the whatever snow I can get thread!

 

They have closed parts of I-10, I-12, I-49, I-55, I-110, I-210, US 11, US 190 and a ton of smaller roads. I was just listening to the traffic reports on the radio and you would think the world was ending outside

 

Media loves to hype that stuff up too. Crazy.

 

wtf? the hipsters are getting sunburned.

 

Yeah it was pretty severe here this morning too

Severely awesome

 

Overcast on the way home from work today so I didn't have to run the AC.

 

We haven't had a first stage smog alert in 30 years.

 

That's a pretty cool pic!

 

It doesn't.

When I was a kid growing up, I remember sitting on the sofa all day watching TV during some summer days instead of out riding my bike because it literally hurt to breathe (no smokers in the house).

That hasn't happened in a very, very long time.

The valley tends to trap everything (the Native Americans referred to it as "The Valley of the Smokes"), so often blowing dust gives the sky a bit of a brown look, and we frequently get the marine layer trapped so there is a low layer of clouds, but overall, the air in LA has been cleaner than ever for the last 10 years, and it's been a steady improvement since the '60s once emission controls started being applied to vehicles and businesses.

 

It's 50 degrees outside.......

 

We got a quick 5 inches today. Was kinda nice because I got to drive on some untouched streets this morning. Good times.
