@SFMagicMountain will be closed again today because of the rainy weather

California seems like an awful place to live these days.

Years ago, January was always the rainy month in LA...

We aren't used to this anymore. Plus, it's worse than usual.

So the fires are finally out, but now the houses that were spared the crisp are being swiped by mudslides. Fuck!

Sending a big hug to all my Angelino friends in DL from a Maria veteran in PR.

Just noting: The mudslide in Encino at R5 (which I can see from my yard) is completely unrelated to the recent fires. It's nowhere near the burn areas, nor has there ever been a fire on that hill (or at least not in the past 25 years). It's just a grassy hillside that became overly saturated and gave way.

Thanks r13.

You have my sympathies OP.

Looks like rain in Melbourne today. But I'll be back in LA next week sorry to say.

Good ol' Flight 93, r16?

Fuck! I was supposed to deliver a bill to a porn company through corporate) and now I won't : (

I wanted to see some hot guys.

I am feel bad about the mudslides some Californians have to deal with; that must really suck. But rarely getting rain is one reason I would never live in southern California.

Will someone think of CockyBoys and all the Webcammers @ chaturbate ????

it’s dark over here- lights now out in South Pasadena CA @FOXLA they flickered... went off... then on... and now just entirely off as the rain continues to pour

As noted above, back when I was in school, this would have been called just another January storm.

Global warming is really doing a number in California. It almost seems like we have been under a natural catastrophy since 2016.

yum-oooooooooooo

Another winter in a summer town.

For our Studio City guy:

@abc7carlos

Mudslide in Studio City near Fryman Canyon. The street is now impassable with sharp rocks and mud.

Hiker struck by large boulder in Malibu, critically injured

I feel bad for that woman (and her family), but I'm sorry to say.....that's some Darwin Award-level stupidity! Why the hell would someone go hiking (or walking; she was on the road) in the Malibu mountains today, of all days? It's supposed to be in the 70s & sunny this weekend!

Some people hike no matter what.

Most people around that age outgrew it in their teens, at least if they were locals.

I wonder where along Rambla Pacifico this happened? (I haven't seen it mentioned). Although not affected by the Woolsey fire, there have been a couple of small brush fires up along Rambla Pacifico in the past two years. I wonder if it was near either of those areas?

Fires or no fires, it's just a BAD idea to be walking any canyon roads when we've gotten so much rain in a short period. (Bad Idea Jeans!). Rocks & Boulders come down, even if there hasn't been a fire in the area, for years. Because....gravity.

@ABC7

GOOD NEWS: Sierra snowpack at 103 percent of average for the 1st time this season

The 10-day forecast looks quite nice.

@abc7miriam

WHOA!! Surfs up in Ventura but not where neighbors want it.

no longer use to rain.............arent you at least a little bit afraid of what that portends for the sustainability of 25 million people in the state not to mention the agricultural belt of the nation for some crops //???????

It's supposed to be 75 where I am tomorrow. (Eastern LA County.)

I freaking love it when it rains in LA! I just wish I could be home from work to enjoy it.

I love the crisp air after it rains here. It's such a rare occurrence, sadly.

This afternoon while walking to meet a friend for lunch, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy crisp, moist air during my walk. The air temperature was a refreshing 48 degrees at 12:30p. Though it was raining during my walk, I didn't open my umbrella, as I knew at that moment I should enjoy and remember this moment, as such moments are becoming even more rare.

Intense smoke from summer forest fires is just around the corner, when respirators are now needed to breathe in order to walk through the city.

I am 55 and it seems to me mudslides happened all the time in that region, until recently.

After ten days of gorgeous weather, the rain is set to return maybe Thursday.

The nice part of the drought is I didn't have to mow the lawn all the time.

The rain started with serious thunder and lightning. The beaches were all evacuated, and the people in the burn areas are bracing themselves.

Pasadena

Thunder and lightning just scared the hell out of my two cats -- they're not used to such a thing. It also knocked down the clock from my wall.

Lightning Strikes

Shaking Pasadena Adjacent

Has someone fallen into the LA River yet?

Give it time -- it is usually an adventurous kid, or a poor homeless person camped on the riverside.

[quote] Give it time -- it is usually an adventurous kid

I shouldn't make light of it. I was almost stupidly whisked away by the LA River as a teen!

This is rolling thunder -- we don't usually have this.

@KalanaFalana

Lightning just hit Cedars-Sinai. The whole south tower shook. Holy shit!!

@CaltransDist7

ALERT: Mud flow on all lanes of #PCH #SR1 by Deer Creek Canyon Road. Lanes still open but may close soon. Avoid the area and use alternate routes.

in route. water rescue. main st and la river

The cloudpocalypse is just beginning to come over the mountains here in Palm Springs.

I am afeerd.

That's terrible. California has been hit with extremes... the drought for many years, the horrible wildfires.. now, the torrential rain and the mudslides.

@LAScanner

***Rain Safety Message***

Lightning never strikes twice so you’ll definitely be killed by the big earthquake or the idiot texting in the car at the next intersection or the psychopath who thinks “lightening” is the correct spelling.

I called the fire department because a lightning hit close, and they were pissed when they searched the area and found nothing happened. Well, excuse me. My cats ran scared and the all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking. I seriously though a catastrophe had happened.

Rolling thunder just set off a car alarm lol.

@CBSLA

(See? One homeless man and one adventurous kid.)

I thought the river dried up - a few rain storms and it's killing people?

R75, the river is not much more than dry concrete for 97% of the year. Until it rains and all of LA's gutter run-off feeds into it -- then it becomes a raging beast.

End of Round One.

The second storm arrives tomorrow night

It's tomorrow and a huge squall line approaches with lots of lightning and thunder inside, according to the weather guys and gals....

The squall line hit Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, and they are having to do swift water rescues in intersections, as well as in rivers.

This is why I don't live in the hills, even though it's the prettiest and the richest part of Southern CA. I live in the flatter, working class side of town.. I could have bought a home in the hills but I don't want to risk fire, mudslide but most of all rattlesnakes. (A co-worker said she'd find them in her yard every now and then).

I had to drive both ways on the 210 between the 605 and the 15 today. It was raining REALLY hard, yet there were the usual imbeciles on the road-- speeders, cutting in an out of lane w/o signaling, no headlights, etc. I saw a car on the side of the road that had completely flipped over.

Next, the third and final storm of this series.

By Tues/Wed, I'll have an "infinity" pool.

Today, it snowed

It's a cold, rainy hell here in Palm Springs. Three months since it's been at least 80.

Right now the argument in Pasadena is whether we experienced hail or graupel.

It seemed like hail to me -- big chunks -- but other say graupel is snowflakes frozen together, or something.

Good article about the history snowfall in Los Angeles, with some great photos. (spoiler alert: it used to happen more often).

How it looked in most places:

@TheTweetOfGod

Actually, the frigid temperatures are due to a polar vortex split caused by misplaced Moroccan heat leading to sudden stratospheric warming, you cosmic dipshit, you cringing vermin, you fetid clump of congealed ooze.

@laura_nelson

Pity us, we poor, shivering Angelenos: This is the first February in recorded history that the temperature in downtown Los Angeles never hit 70 degrees.

How is the drought now? Any relief? The LA river must be a toxic brew when it gets like that.

The drought was called over with 153% of snowpack measured and all reservoirs fulls.

PS -- Two more SoCal storms forecasted over the next five days.

Hopefully, NoCal will get a break this weekend.

California you are so extreme!

The drought is just about completely over.

[quote]The drought is just about completely over.

Sad final days of the state of Utah, it seems like Mormonland is going to going to look like Western Sahara in a couple of years.

Yep, it was pretty toxic, R99. As were the Santa Ana & San Gabriel Rivers, which enter the ocean in Long Beach & Orange County.

Urban runoff has always been a problem during these big storms, but it is just so out of control, now! TONS of debris was swept into the ocean via those rivers and deposited on the beaches, during the recent storms. The homeless situation in So Cal is making it worse. Lots of encampments in the normally dry river beds. When we get these heavy sustained rains, ALL their shit (as well as their SHIT) gets washed downstream, into the ocean.

"Fun" Facts: Trash nets in Ballona Creek and the Los Angeles River capture 200 tons of litter each year. The Los Angeles flood channel has enough trash to fill the Rose Bowl field two stories deep.

It wasn't very long ago Los Angeles was crying about drought. Those people are just never satisfied,

Fans are weird

^^^ Oops wrong thread

How cold was it in Burbank?

February low in Burbank +36 F = 2C

Our neighborhood is far closer to downtown, but our low in Feb was 30 F = -1C

If you read your Bible when the god character sent a flood he then said he'd never do that again. So we have god in his first lie. But recall first California burned, now it's inundated with water. Fun times.

Oh yeah -- and then the LA Basin got snow. That was about a week ago when it was cold enough in the clouds, but in the 50s on the ground, so it didn't stick long.

Snow in LA

We thought it was hail at first, but then:

@NWSLosAngeles Correct, that is snow! Lots of confusion today. If precip bounces it contains ice - call it sleet or small hail. If precip in flakes it's snow, white balls are melted flakes called graupel.

We just drove from Palm Springs to Portland yesterday after six weeks down there. I think it was drier in Portland in February. Northern California was really flooded and the southern half of Oregon has a lot of snow.

Last night, this first big storm of the week began with rare (for SoCal) thunder and lightning.
