Oh what I grew up in Studio City. I'm in Berkeley now, though, so it's still raining. But I don't remember there ever being horrible rain in the valley.

How about, no. When the rest of the country was freezing their balls off we had 75 degree weather. I'd take a few days of rain over having to deal with "real" weather.Xeke said:

That's awesome, dude! I'm from Davidson, lived over by Nippers Corner. Been out here for the last year and a half pursuing the dream of directing and writing.
I'm really scared of all the houses above me on this hill sliding down and killing me. This could be my last post alive.

Oh please, SoCal's summer days aren't even that bad since it's usually not too humid.bjork said:
I'm gonna have to say no. I'd prefer a hot day to ice-picking out the bottom of my driveway and scooping up shovels of water all to have the plows shove more of that shit into there.bjork said:
So stfu and enjoy your umbrellas and fanta or whatever you said. We've had hot days here so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

Wildfires are weather. They don't call it motherfucking FIRE SEASON for nothing. Our seasons are just more hardcore than everyone else. Waah, it's snowing. At least it isn't raining fire and ash, pussies.

It can surely get hot here, especially since I haven't had decent (or any) air conditioning in either of the apartments in which I've lived, but it's still nothing compared to a Tennessee summer.

I don't like it when it's raining, but at least it cleans up the smog for a couple of days.

Two weather secrets LA folks don't want you to know:
1) It pours in January
2) June Gloom

I love June gloom.
It seems the SFV is getting the worst of it, for now. There's a big storm coming from up north in a few hours. :/
ABC DOPPLER!!!!

This shit is fucking horrible. Last night I was driving down Melrose and you couldn't see the lines on the road too well due to the rain and someone in the oncoming lane was over on my side and almost fuckIng hit me.
It's also coming down really hard right now.

I've seen 2 spinouts on the way to work this morning. Can't wait to drive to Staples Center later on today for the Laker game...Dark Octave said:
But I'm all for the rain. This is spittle compared to when I used to live in Germany. The slopes are going to be awesome as fuck though this weekend.

Yeah, shit like this is the only serious worry in LA when it rains, at least until it overwhelms LA's pathetic excuse for a drainage system. The roads just aren't marked or maintained well enough to keep the lines visible, and sometimes idiots drift. I'm staying the hell inside today, anyway. No reason to deal with that if I don't have to.

The worst part about the rain, especially in the valley, is the roads aren't even close to built for it. Everything is flooded up and no one acts accordingly.
That's why I'm staying inside all day. Thank you Fall Out 3.

Pretty much. I'm close to the city, and we have to go shopping later.
But this is mid-level Oregon at the moment. Only for a week, so it's all good.

Issue is people here don't know how to deal with water falling from the sky. Don't know how to drive in it, and the roof is leaking at my work... :lol

When it first premiered years ago (back then it was just the ABC 7 Doppler Radar) my friend and I gave it a malevolent personality that would strike down its foes from the mountaintop with its Doppler lazer. Whenever the radar line would pass over our area on the map we would scream in horror awaiting the heat of a thousand suns to burn us alive. Never happened though.
It really is hilarious though because while it's useful during weeks like this one, they still use it all year round. So basically the other 355 days you're looking at a perfectly clear map with a rotating line on it.

I'm pretty relieved that it's raining, actually. I was getting sick of the 75 degree winter.
