After that stretch of Santa Ana days and record setting heat last week, it looks like Los Angeles is finally getting some winter weather. 6 of the next 10 days are forecast to have a 30% or greater chance of precipitation (peaking at 60% next Thursday), and 5 are projected to have a daily high below 60F. The overnight low next Monday is forecast to be 37F!
Parents up in the Santa Clarita area had a bit of wind the past two days. The kind that waves the flag (before snapping the pole in half), drops palm fronds in the pool (as the tree trunk lays on the grass), and spills a flurry of pine needles (from a pine taller than a house, trunk three feet thick, that went completely vertical).

I'm further north, basically where the foothills start, so pretty close to the valley floor.
There was a brief period where the low was predicted to be 31 and it showed snow for us.

The Palmdale/Lancaster area still has snow in the forecast for Monday morning.
Also since I posted last night, they've upped the chance of rain for every day that it's forecast her in LA, so that's neat.

This is front one of three, and the last one's looking like a doozy.
For a second there I thought that was supposed to be what rolled in yesterday. Glad it's still just the forecast and people can stock up if they haven't already.
I am very much looking forward to some more rain.

Caveat - it's a model, not a forecast, and stuff over 3 days gets iffy. That's a weeklong accumulation model run yesterday.
"Oh, is that place called Hail Cliffs?"
"Why didn't Jedoc post this in the photography thread?"
"Cool pictures tho"
"Oh wait shit the cliffs ARE MADE OF HAIL WHAT THE FUCK"
It's looking like we'll come out of this with the state snowpack jumping from ~40% of average to ~75% of average. Which is fantastic, but means we still need more to get even back to an average year.
No one in Southern California has any idea how to drive in rain
The first thing I noticed after driving in Seattle and Portland for 10 years and moving to Tucson was that people are fucking idiots on the road when they haven't driven in the rain 1000 times. Like, slowing down to 15, 20 miles an hour in a 45 because there's a fucking mud puddle. Just take your foot off the gas! It's not that hard!
The bad news is that it's also jam-packed with weather perverts who are visibly disappointed when a tornado falls apart before it gets to the trailer park.
Anyway, tornadoes in January, looks like it's a La Nina season for sure. Might need to stash some medicinal whiskey and board games in the library's laughably insufficient fraidy hole.

I guess winter was canceled too.

Linked because 2.5 MB gif
I think the ballpark rule is 1 inch of rain = 1 foot of snow, give or take?
So that'd be over 20 feet of snow in the sierras. Like, places that are used to snow might get more than they can deal with.

This is not a drill

E: the gif is wed-fri
Weather, man. I'm not sure why it's still allowed.
My dad is always going on about the potential singular electoral success of the "ban freezing rain" party

Some pre-emptive evac orders for places at risk of landslides from burn scars.
Chico might get 3-6 inches snow!
That's gonna be one hell of a front coming through tonight.
It snowed here on a Thursday afternoon in February like 3 years ago, where were these people?!
Ayep.
This is absolutely a "hooray, rain! Fuck, not like that!" Scenario.
Storm delivers!

Coastal road trips on hold.
Bay area rain totals.
Last night this semi truck went partially over the guardrail on the 10 freeway in downtown LA. Somehow the driver did not sustain major injuries.
