Hey, Blizzard Members. Can You Get Online?

[moi621]

Mac, you know Moi might have a better winter temperature but the air quality really sucks. I remember when I left LA for the last time when I moved north, I had tiers in my eyes, not because I was leaving it was because the sky had this greenish yellow look, smelled bad, and caused you grab your gas mask. Today living here going out doors and breathing fresh air every single day, never have an air quality problem is well I will take the winter here to the bad air there any day, how about you?

River

River, DEAR -
Moi lives by the OC coastline about a mile in as the crow flies on a bluff with line of sight to the ocean.
Air usually best here, as in Green Circles. Rarely Yellow like a little bit inland.
MacWolf's area gets Deep Orange and Red circles on occasion.
I have lived in Milwaukee and Nashville.
Both seem more prone to clear pollution as ozone.
My asthma would feel it but, eyes did not see it.
It is mostly about, what the government chooses to measure or not. And the idea if you can't see it, it must be clean air.

Moi
Breathing easy.

When the apocalypse hits in 2012, MOI will be the first to slide into the sea.

No way!

The island of Califo-nia will be surrounded by the reformed Midwest Sea and sunken Rockies.
We may loose a little of MacWolf's neighborhood along with Arizona and Nevada but
a world without Califo-nia is as unimaginable as a world without Virginia, or Santa Claus.

all I can say is -- gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

To rerail the thread to what its about after Moi hijacked a thread he has no idea what its about.
River have you upgraded to Cata yet? The Goblins rock! Just leveled a huntard to 85 brutal!

No Dave, the east coast is sliding into the ocean... quite literally. The west coast is emerging from it. That's why our mountains are, well, mountains, and your mountains are what we in the west consider hills.

[Riverwind]

This is true, the mountains on the west coast are younger, bigger, taller, more impressive. what you have on the east coast are hills.

The Allegheny mountains have withstood the test of time.
Those fragile, fault ridden upstarts will just crumble when the world ends.

And Califo-nia has no blizzards except in vacation land or the high Sierras. If Califo-nia was blizzard free it would take from the State's diversity. So we keep them in certain areas as one might expect a blizzard, but not among the mass population.

From L.A. one might drive to snow in Big Bear in about two hours, traffic willing. And it can blizzard in Big Bear. But mostly it just snows there in winter.

Califo-nia, Blizzard Free, mostly
and the most mountainous mountains within a short distance.
The Sierra Nevada range.
The Coastal range up north where it comes out of the ocean most vertically.
A big boring valley between as grows lots of food.
The two ranges meet near L.A. and continue south as "foothills" .
I wish I had the opportunity to learn some geology because unlike the East, Califo-nia geology changes so fast in a short distance compared to, Oklahoma.
I'm waiting for promised rain. That 50F at night sure feels cold

LOL Guess you never looked at the plate techtonics. The atlantic is widening while the Ca. plate is sliding under the Pacific plate. Funny too Granite sure as a hell out wears sandstone it doesn't was away in the rain in a mudslide. Sure our Mountains are shorter but the weather is wilder in them. Highest sustained wind speed ever recorded was on Mt. Washington.

[Riverwind]

We have look at plate tectonics and LA will some day be where (what I think is the best, coolest, city in the world) San Francisco is, which will be up near Seattle. You could say that the West Coast is ON THE MOVE.

As for snow and rain,

Mammoth has more snow then ever recorded and its only December. LA has rain, the snow pack is so wet wait tell spring when it melts.

BUT

There is a silver lining to that cloud,

THE DROUGHT IS OVER

if the damn hold.


You know of course they say global warming also causes a change in the winter rain/snow pattern.

WHAT CHANGE, I DON'T SEE NO CHANGE.

But what about forest fires, rain and mud slides?

[moi621]

But what about forest fires, rain and mud slides?

Simple,
Wipe out a hundred homes in Michigan and it is hardly news, who cares.
Seven homes slide down the mountain in Laguna Beach and it is news worthy for days and days.
Today, Laguna Beach made the NBC News again over water damage.
Califo-nia just gets better coverage then Michigan.
Is that simple enough?

[Riverwind]

Moi, I know this will come as a shock to your system and its something that most Californians don't like to consider, its not about you.

You know when I lived in Calif, I like most born and raised there think that its the only place to live. NOT TRUE, Its not all about Calif, only in the minds of those of you who live there. The rest of us could really care less if it burns down in the summer of washes away in the winter or if it moves north, it just doesn't matter to us.

I am sure Mac agrees, he would not want to live anywhere but Mich, its a wonderful place, beautiful country, I almost moved there but moved next door instead, I look forward to the four seasons, the people are nicer, less full of themselves. However there is a saying around the country, California on the move, its sliding down the hills, moving north, etc.

Anyway, I understand more rain is in the forecast so keep posting so we will know that your OK and not washed away down the street.

Right, River,
That's why NBC News has its' third day of Califo-nia rain and flood coverage and second day of poor little (rich) Laguna Beach and consequences of the rain.
Moi is not the center of the universe
Califo-nia is the center of the universe
A world without California is unimaginable and would probably be quite boring.
Our plate is not submerging but sliding northward and upward.
Unless one chooses to live in a ski resort, we can only look eastward and wonder -
