Lots of rain in Southern California/ Los Angeles these days.

[shance]

Very unusual for Southern California, where it "never rains".

It sure is raining these days. Heavy rains are still expected.

1. Yep, its almost mudslide season

2. It rains like this almost every year. It's so dry for so long that you

tend to forget about the last time.

3. Rainlfall in itself is very unusual?

Or just this much?

4. neither

I think we are actually close to average for the season

It has been raining consistently since mid-Feb (about 2 storms a week), which is a bit frequent, but it was very dry in the months prior

5. Every so often we get a very wet rainy season..and then go

years with little rain. In itself it's not all that unusual.. What IS funny as hell is to see the newsfolks get all apoplectic.. They get their raingear and boots and go stand on freeways with cameras trained on trickles of water and go berserk with their commentary..

And of course they get out their "Doppler XX Triple Whammy 4000, Super-Duper radar" and the helicopters too..

They love real weather but flip out when it actually happens :)

9. i hear we actually don't have much rain compared to previous times

one thing is that i don't think we had much if any rain last year during the fall/winter months.

personally i like the rain. but i kind of feel sorry for those coming here for their spring break and facing wetter and colder weather than back home.

6. Agreed, we are having N. Calif. weather patterns here...

in Los angeles for the last two months. In fact it's been like Portland or Seattle. We barely get a chance to dry out and then WHAM, here comes another front.... Jeez..it's supposed to be Spring.

7. I'm in the Valley and we have only had 1/10" from this storm today.

They talked big, and nothing came of it.

Now as to LAST year - that was one to write home about.

8. I don't think everyone else in the country is very sympathetic about

our "bad" weather! ;)
