Yeah, they're talking about snow in Santa Barbara, possibly down to 500ft. No snow at the beach, but in the hills quite possibly.

What is with all you whiners in CA lately. You all need to spend a winter in the North East for at least one or maybe two years. You'll be begging to get back to your 60 degree rainy winter day.

I'm not whining, I'm kind of excited about it. Might even get up before sunrise to see if there's any snow before it melts. That said, we aren't at all equipped for things like this, and I'm not planning on going anywhere tomorrow.

I'm trying hard to refrain from an ugly response to this taunt.

All I can say is they I've been stuck in my own driveway multiple times this winter in my Range Rover....

(I picked the wrong winter to decide to plow my own driveway.)

I work in IT and spend a lot of time in CA. A relocation there could be a good move for my career. However, I'll take the NE weather over CA earthquakes, traffic, real estate markets, and (most importantly) car inspection rules.

Ughh, you got me with the car inspections. My biggest pet peeve.

On the brighter side; earthquakes rock, the traffic is getting better - gas at 3.75 a gallon and all the workforce furloughs = lighter traffic.

It is ok, most folks who own Range Rovers have had them not make it out of the drive way in the last year, many in Florida.
