Often they will predict some kind of monster storm that only turns out to be a light drizzle.

I hate the start of rainy season in California.

It always takes too long for people to remember how to drive in the rain here. Happens every year. You’d think they would have figured it out by now.

Isn't that the truth!

I agree. Autobody repair companies love the first rain in Calif.

8 months of oil on the roads, mix in a little water and it’s bumper cars.

Remember, if you see foam on the road go slow. Or just floor it and pass somebody and take your changes.

Unfortunately, they never do. I have lived in these mountains for many years now, and every year we have more yet more slackwits going over the cliffsides because they did not appreciate how dangerous these winding mountain roads are when there is rain, ice, or snow on them.
