Yeah, well the Southern Californians wouldn’t be chortling if they got whacked with a foot of snow. We get that here about six times every winter.

if they got whacked with a foot of snow

Yup, more proof of globalwarming...

Now THAT would be funny.

Touche!

We keep our snow on the mountains with far more than two feet.

Actually, we have the highest mountain range in the lower 48...the Sierra Nevadas. A foot of snow is more like a light dusting up in the Sierras. Los Angeles is ringed by mountains where heavy snow is commonplace many (but not all) winters.

As for the earthquake back east, everyone I know laughed about the hysteria. My shift starts at 2:00pm. I turned on Sean Hannity on my way to work, and he was all agog over the earthquake. I laughed all the way to work. Especially since easterners are fond of mocking California, saying we're going to fall into the sea, blah, blah, blah. Seems to me a whole lot of easterners were like a bunch of wusses and pansies today, hahahaha.

LOL! Here, we get BOTH! (Please do not ask me why I live up here...)

When my parents lived in Tahoe it was a normal winter morning to wake up to 2 to 3 feet of fresh snow.

We had skiing at our local ski resort for 4th of July this year. Too bad that CA doesn’t get any snow.

The difference is that structures here are NOT built for earthquakes. I was on the second floor of my building when it hit. The shaking wasn’t what I was worried about, it was the thought that our building was constructed without an inkling that an earthquake was possible.
