UGH

This past week was a major weather event for Southern California.  One storm after another hit – we had rain, wind, snow, hail, floods, mudslides and even a couple of tornadoes!  In and around LA people had to leave their homes for fear of mudslides – the result of the fires this past summer stripping away all vegetation and leaving the land exposed and vulnerable.  Thursday I had to leave the office for a few minutes and was greeted with this sight on my new car (taken with my iPhone)…

Darn snow is one of the reasons I left Illinois.  Then this morning I was awakened by two noisy cats – breakfast was not being served.  I went to the kitchen and looked out of the window — snow on the neighbor’s roof.  I went back to bed, feeling sorry for myself, and hid under the covers.  Several hours later when I awoke again the sun and made all that white stuff disappear!  YIPPEE.  Tonight it’s supposed to be 28F.  At least no snow in in the forecast.

Time until my ship sets sail:  5 days, 11 hours and 22 minutes!
