My boss asked me how I liked the weather. When I lived outside KC and in NJ, we had thunderstorms worse than this a few times every summer and then we had the same in the winter except with snow. I don't find the rain to be that big a deal except for the idiot drivers here. As I was driving south on 680 through the Sunol grade, I was amazed to see the northbound lanes shut down at three places due to spinouts and trucks going off the road.

Dang, it's been nearly two years since Orange County got an actual real dose of rain. It's pretty scary out on the roads, it's been so long that I'm not used to it.


I'm cold. I want my Southern Californian sun please.

I would appreciate it if you were to stop thinking of my penis Stark. The fact that you give it even the slightest bit of consideration really unnerves me to no end!

Who's talking about a penis? I was talking about this nasty storm front!

(to be honest, every time you cross my mind, I'm thinking about a d!ck.) ;)

Swell in Santa Rosa? Where you goin'?

This swell has got to be not only raw along the N Cali coast but blown out as well. S Cali will clean up a bit conditionwise but risk of serious infection from the sewerage flowing into the ocean is a real problem.

I remember this last January - Wahiawa, Oahu Hi got 12 inches of rain overnight - even I waited a few days to surf.

Someone from nearby friendly Santa Rosa, coolbeans, haha Just got back from up that ways with a friend of mine.
 

"Five inches? it felt and sounded like more! It was blowing a gale and the downpour was so intense I think I have little webbed thingees growing between my toes!
The rain is cool, it was the 3 hour power outage that wasnt"


Kassy, didn't you speak of moving back to New Zealand? I thought that you now reside there. :confused:

Anyway, I loved the rain as kid, but it's no fun now. It was a nightmare yesterday because it wasn't just rainy, but also windy. Luckily, I didn't really have to go out today, so I'm in the comfort of a roof. :p

"Us Bay Areans who drive convertibles are especially enjoying it"

That would include my sis. She stayed at her friend's, though, to cut down the risk of an accident. There were too many accidents yesterday.

I admit that I didn't read any of the posts. I am just responding to the thread subject.


I'm sure that there are many in the Bay Area enjoying five inches.

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
