"Donner Party" bump.
My pity party for California has been non-stop since I left in 1987.
Hasta la vista Baby!
Beautiful place, but socialsim sucks!
FRom the Bay Area southward mainly including SoCal, pretty wet conditions at lower elevations to lots of snow higher up for the next 3-4 days.. looks like the Pineapple Express will be kicking in..
Be careful out there.
ps... if ya haven't made a trip by the FReepathon thread and ya lurk like a mugger here, donate if ya can or better yet, Become a FR Monthly.
As the old saying goes..
Only you can prevent FReepathons. :-)
Thanks!
Under the gun? Been to Banda Aceh recently?
Would the Donner Party have made it if they had SUVs? ;-)
EXCELLENT!
4-5' base at Mt. Baldy!
One does not have to dismiss lesser problems because of the horrific tragedy in Indonesia..I have not seen you on the many threads expressing horror and listing places to donate.
Basic question, is all this rain/snow a good thing or a bad thing? Weren't there problems with drought, or at least less water available from the Colorado?
doubtful cause where they were they would find "roads" helpful as well..........lol.........bbbrrrrrrrrr
Skiers, if they can get there now, will already be very happy, lots of good snow in them thar mountains already. :-)
I don't ski myself, too darn expensive and dangerous.. ;-)
I used to live in Upland and had a great view of Mt Baldy everyday..........still prettier here in Nor Cal......lol
TV actually made a movie on the Donner Party, it aired approx. 20 years ago. "Robert Fuller" of the 60's show "Wagon Train" was the wagon master of the Donner Party.
Uuuggghhh. Sounds like a good weekend to stay in bed, or just stay curled up in front of the fireplace.
It's Arnold's fault!
The local weather goober babe said the Sierra could get 3 to 5 feet of snow by Monday.
We were at the Hotel Del Coronado once overlooking the water...I told the table.."I don't know what those are called here ,but in Texas it's called a tornado."..(spied a water spout)..One guest headed for the basement..
I have to laugh...LACK of snow is killing them here in New England. Ski areas, especially the cross-country ones, and taking it in the financial shorts. Local snowmobile dealers can't give them away; crates of them are stacked everywhere. We got several inches today, but more good news (for those of us who HATE snow!) is on the way...mid 50'S and RAIN headed this way in a few days! Yahooooooo! (Voting for Kerry has consequences, Yankees!)
