Californians and the storm

Glad I'm not there. We don't even hear the snow fall. And any damage is slow coming and thus much more easily mediated. Good luck.

The sound of the rain coming down was so intense around 4:30 AM, that I had to get up to look outside.

I neglected to say that I love the sound of the rain drumming on our roof.

I do remember well, how thrilling it was to wake up and find the world magically changed by the first overnight snowfall. Of course, in Manhattan and its suburbs, the snowfall was never as bad as I've seen elsewhere in the country.

I do know that if, after 48 years of living in SoCal, I were to be faced with the kind of winter that I've seen in the mid-west this year, I'd shrivel up and die on the spot. :oldfogey:
