Even Desert Gets Snow as Unusual Storm Dumps Up to 3 Feet in Southern California

A peek at Victorville Ca yesterday, while not much, it's always a treat on the high desert.

[RockinRight]

Global warming/Bush's fault.

[TChris]

Woohoo! Love that snow! :) (I'm a lifelong Wyoming resident)

Global Warming Sham Alert.

[right hand] Snow in the desert ------ Global Warming [left hand]

Yeah. That seems about right.

[zygoat]

Damn global warming agian. Sure is cold looking warming though.

[zlala]

Global warming/Bush's fault.

Of course it is!

I think Global Warming predicts crazy weather-- not just super hot weather everywhere.

[Redbob]

When I retire, I plan to hold my snow-scraper up in my right hand, and start walking south.

When somebody asks me, "Hey Mister, what's that in your hand?" I'll know I've gone far enough!

[kellynla]

Oh yea!
Nothing like Southern Cali...
The only place in the world where you can go surfing in the a.m. and snow skiing in the p.m. Now if we could just get some conservative Republicans elected in the Senate and the governorship. LOL

Semper Fi,

Damn Global Warming thanks to the evil Bush and Karl Rove driving around in his Haliburton SUV.

I remember the first year that I lived in California (1988), it snowed 11 inches and was 19 degrees.

Boy was I surprised!

Of course It was the 'high desert' and I was living in Lake L.A., just outside of Palmdale.

We were on our way down to San Diego yesterday. It looked like Saddleback had snow down to the 1,000 foot level; when we passed by Trestles, there were surfers out at Churches and San Onofre.

You know, I'm always amused at the global warming nutcases. If there is a global warming effect is MOST CERTAINLY has N-O-T-H-I-N-G to do with pollution or any other human activity.

In fact, this is real simple science.

QUESTION: Is an object warmer the closer it is to a heat source?
ANSWER: Yes.
EXAMPLE 1: A human body is warmer when it is closer to a fire place.
EXAMPLE 2: A metallic object is warmer when it is closer to a fire place.
EXAMPLE 3: A <insert object> is warmer when it is closer to a fire place.

So, if the Sun is burning the hottest it has been in recorded human history (Sunspots activity at 8,000 year high), then doesn't it stand to reason that things (like, you know, PLANETS!) would be hotter too?

Come on, folks. This is the easiest thing to figger out. And, as a reminder, the Sun is ALWAYS actively heating at least 1/2 of planet ALL THE TIME.

So, take your pick. Some elaborate self-inflicted pollution scheme or simple physics.

Pretty easy choice.

[kellynla]

well enjoy it while you can...LOL
no more precipitation predicted for a while

Is that Lake Arrowhead?

[zlala]

In 1974 (I think) we had 3-4 feet of snow in Victorville. That was a shocker!

[Bigh4u2]

"Is that Lake Arrowhead?"

No.

It's Lake Los Angeles! (or Lake L.A.)

It's just east of Palmdale between Palmdale and VictorVille.
