I was in Spokane last year for Lilac Parade, and I had forgotten how green it is there.

Ah... lilac. Probably the strongest memory trigger for me is the smell of lilac. I get homesick every time I smell 'em. It was my favorite time of year when they were in bloom.

Bring on the rain, baby!

Just in time for the rainy season too, which always begins around Halloween.

Winter in Seattle looks like this: High 40, Low 38, overcast cloudy with 2000 ft ceiling, showers.

Well we can only hope that the mountains will get close to as much snow as it did last year. Got my board and gear ready to rock and roll. Last year kicked arse.

That's what the warning is about..That and the burn areas.
AlhamBRA, L.B. & L.A. will do just fine. The burn areas up on the Ridge Route will not do well.

When's the last time SoCal had a real flash flood problem? I once lived there for over a decade and the most I've ever seen was maybe a couple of inches.

I can barely remember the last two winters here in nocal. I think it was cold for about a week and rained once in the middle. I hate the rain but I kinda miss the cold breaking up summers Must be teh global warming.

There's no "weather" here (SoCal). I spent most of my life in upstate NY - plenty of cloudy skies, rain, snow, freezing rain, hail, strong winds. I get excited whenever I see any form of precipitation beyond 'sprinkle', which isn't often.

I've lived in SoCal 52 years

Care to drive Hwy 14 at speed after this happened http://www.highdesertnews.com/redrock.htm

Google images of Las Vegas floods.

True, flash floods don't happen often but when they do..........

It's not so much the rain, but the fact that any precipitation makes Southern Californians completely forget how to drive :Q

Las Vegas isn't Los Angeles or San Diego.
