Winter Storm Hits

The rain came all at once last night, a little before midnight, as if Someone had turned on a spigot and loosed the Flood. It rained steadily through the night and looks to keep on going for a while.

The automated Mesowest weather reporting site at LA County Fire Department Station 62 reported 1.80" of rain as of 1:40pm with more showers to follow through the rest of the day.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for LA and Ventura Counties, and it said that the snow levels will drop to 4,500 feet, and looks as if it has dropped even lower - good news for Mt. Baldy skiers. The cold and rain showers are supposed to continue through Tuesday night and possibly into Wednesday.

Bundle up, and don't drive if you don't have to. The roads figure to be a mess this A.M. If ever there were a time for cocooning, today's the day.
