Sepulveda Basin closed by LAPD, 12 inches snow in Kern Mountains, mandatory evacuations Yorba Linda, and massive mudslides in the Tea Fire area of Santa Barbara, white out conditions in Cajon Pass

[lainie]

I hadn’t heard about mudslides in Montecito. yikes.

Cajon Pass — KTTV showed 6-8 inches that had fallen on their mobile truck inside two hours’ time

Same thing here in Fountain Valley. Too bad the convertible top has to stay up for the next few days.

And yes, all the best wishes for those in the burn areas.

Hells bells....you lived in Yucaipa?

I went to school at Crafton Hills College....

Transplanted to OK...in '98

[ErnBatavia]

I remember a customer calling me and asking me where “Yucca-pa” was, as he needed to dispatch a truck to pick up some eggs from “Yucca-pa Egg Ranch”.....it took a sec, but I got his gist.

Big Bear is getting snow I bet!

What is being delivered at your hacienda?

Posting a picture from the area where I was reared...NW Kansas:

Nothing yet in the eastern Coachella Valley, but it looks like it’s gettin’ close!

[BurbankKarl]

someone just hydroplaned off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro....

[lainie]

That’ll ruin your day.

The CHP site is really bogged.

Our rain appears to have ended but you guys are going to be dealing with it for a lot longer.

Socal driver has zero clue how to rock herself out of this situation, and pull into the plowed lane...

We used to have a site that got posted that tracked current rainfall amounts, do you recall what it was? We’ve had heavy, heavy rain for over 90 minutes now in San Diego and we’re all curious how much we’ve gotten. It’s been non-stop...we rarely get rain this heavy for this long in our particular area!

[lainie]

Where were the pics, San Bernardinos?

We got 0.33” out here near Edwards AFB. The radar showed wintry mix/snow near Mohave for quite awhile.

Drawing a blank,...but I found this for the Bay area:

HYDROLOGY-METEOROLOGY DATA REPORT PART 5

and it says.....

THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS PROVISIONAL DATA FROM AUTOMATED GAUGES : THIS DATA HAS NOT BEEN SCREENED OR VERIFIED FOR ACCURACY

******************************

So maybe the San Diego NWS has automated rain gauges?

And google found this :
