shut up. people in CA should never bitch about the weather. Earthquakes? Celebrities? Fine. But shut up unless you have to deal with all of mother nature's moods during the year.

Southern California practically shuts down with weather. 1/8th of an inch of rain? 80 CAR PILEUP ON THE 405. Oh the humanity!

Not bitching about it, I'm always glad to get the rain. I've lived in snowy mountains, so yeah I know.
Still, today is not a great day to be out in SoCal, if you can help it. A lot of that has to do with the fact that people don't have a clue how to drive in any kind of weather around here.

I'm in studio city and it aint no thang. I come from the land of tornado's and little snow, nashville! I also lived in Orlando for two years. Now there's some rain.
I don't feel like driving at all today though because everyone freaks the hell out in the rain. Ugh.

Do they still have news crews "live on the scene" and graphics like "Death Storm 2010" for light showers?

It's not the rain that bothers me, it is this damn wind! My whole apartment sounds like it is going to be blown away... things creaking, rain hitting the window, and every time there is a big gust, the water in my toilet even moves around. Hold me!

Expect about 200,000 traffic accidents within the next 30 minutes. Southern Californians are idiots when it comes to driving in the weather. It's gonna look like a war zone on the freeways, watch.The Lamonster said:

Its actually quite pleasant for January here in DC. Sun is out and its got to be in the mid/upper 40s if not the low 50s. Damn nice.
So im driving down the street with my roommate and its raining. I jokingly say we should drift. He then pulls of the Ebrake on my car and the back tires locked up. I, then being the cali driver I am, slam on the brakes and we do a full 180 degree spin across three lanes and end up staring at drivers coming towards us... No more rain in cali plz.

Just typical SoCal folks overreacting again.Smokey said:
Up in NorCal we only start complaining when it rains hard enough to start flooding areas.

Ha, I grew up off White Bridge Rd near Nashville Tech. Out here animinatin' for the past several years, freelance for the time being.
I actually miss rain and thunderstorms and seasons, so it's nice when we get a good stretch of weather here in SoCal. Though I don't mind being so spoiled too much, when it was in the 20's and 30's back in Tennessee a couple of weeks ago I was going on hikes in the 75 degree sunshine.
But driving in this city is tiresome enough as it is, when there's rain it gets exponentially worse. That and all the denuded hills from the Station Fire are in danger of collapsing.
The first year I moved to LA was an El Nino year and the windows in my apartment weren't up to the rain. Tons of sideways rain came right through the cracks between the two windows -- it was kind of crazy.
By the same token my windshield wipers had gotten all crispy and useless. The first thing after eight months of perfect weather. The first thing I had to do was go buy a new pair.
