Joe, once driving through Angeles Crest not long after a snow storm, I saw a few like you had described, pulled along side the road.
I actually saw "graffiti" painted directly on the snow. I'm not sure if they were the ones who actually did it, but it still caught my attention, since these folks were pulled over on a peculiar part of the road.
Clueless was one of the words I thought of, but there were many more that came to mind, as you can surely imagine.
Maybe I am mistaken, but wasn't the female that started that fire somehow connected with a fire department or forestery?
We got about a foot and a half today in Sparks.
I think in Colorado, the year before, a female was caught for that reason, setting off their largest forest fire. Sadly, that one cost lives.
You must be quite the person thinking that every Mexican you see is an illegal alien. Think about it for a minute. We do have Mexicans who actually are American citizens! Did you know that?
That's it! It was Colorado.
Gee, I miss that place. Many good times. Especially the time when my friend Linda and I were the only girls in the bar...with about 25 Australian men!
Ah, memories of youth (SIGH)

Folks in California never seem to get it.When you build on a cliff you may slide off.When you live in a desert you may have water shortages.When you drive in the mountains in January you may get snow.California= fruits and NUTS.
I think it's God's way of encouraging the weaklings and sissies to re-think fleeing to Canada to get away from democracy.
Kinda like folks living in North Carolina or Florida, you may get blown into the next state by a hurricane. I guess by your logic, they don't get it either.
How long do we give before somebody blames GWB for the snowfall and stranded motorists...(sarcasm)
On the east coast we understand we are going to have huricanes.People in California dont understand they can get bad weather like the rest of us.Driving in the moutains in January,you should be ready for snow.I live in SC and Im ready for the next storm,been thru a lot of them since 1953 and never got blown into another state.
And more is coming..
I can't imagine ever carrying chains. Being from Alaska I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen someone using them (and they usually have CA plates). I personally don't know of anyone who even owns them.
Being that the weather changes drastically in California based on your altitude, responsible people here carry chains. You can get 'em at Pep Boys. By contrast, in some places chains are illegal. It's weird. I'm thinking of Virginia and Illinois where I used to live, maybe? The laws might have changed.
Those are some nasty images!
There's a lot of moisture way out there, not sure where it is gonna end up for now..
It must be a mess down there.
We had a pretty mild ride of it in the Bay Area today after last night.. Some blue sky, but it'll be swinging back up north, I would hazard to bet. ;-)
Silver lining is at least we may out of drought danger for a bit.
