    Oh I'm hip to the weather there I grew up in Orange County, South Laguna to be precise and my 80+ year old parents still live there. There are a lot of things I don't mis about Southern Cal but the weather isn't one of them. The older I get the more attractive it is to move back home.
    We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.

    Ah, a fellow native prune picker, I didn't realize that. Agreed, there are many things to dislike about SoCal but the climate makes up for a lot of warts. Oddly enough, even though Laguna is scarcely 100 miles north of San Diego, there's a noticeable improvement in the weather as you come down this way.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Nor'easter is evolving...

    Everytime I look, the totals are going up. This map shows 24-30" of snow for Boston, and NYC is 24-30" too, particularly Long Island and Southern CT. We'd get 8-10" if it is true...



    I think they're hedging their bets...

    Brooklyn is going to get the worst of it. Already winds are whipping up big time along the shore

    There really is a big difference, SD is milder both in summer and winter. Looks like we are going to be right between the two weather systems here in the DC area so we might get an inch of snow but it won't stick for long as temps warm up tomorrow.

    Always with the Brooklyn. (;->) Eh, I can understand fascination, the place does have a certain charm... and Cyndi Lauper.

    They used to always play this on the first big snowstorm in NYC in the 70s-80s.

    We got hit pretty hard here. Looks like at least 2 feet of snow and very hard winds. But, yes, Brooklyn got it worst. I was talking with a friend in Brooklyn. Just before his phone and power went out he was reporting sustained winds of 50-60 mph with gusts up to 80 mph. Snow was coming down 4-6 inches/hour and blowing into massive drifts. The Brooklyn Bridge was impassible due to the high cross winds coming in from Brooklyn.
