Yes, you can get it at sporting goods stores, mostly used in camping so you don't mess up the environment. Also you can get a dish soap like Seventh Generation which is also bio-degradable which I use to clean my C-pap machine. Both are a bit more expensive but there is not toxic waste from it.

Re: There's Always The Weather
Not a "gully washer",
more of a "sod soaker"
these last days. Hill slide weather.
It is good to live on a solid piece of granite.
The best news is, ta-da
mid week this Califo-nia storm should hit the heartland real good and on to the Atlantic coast for the weekend.
And I do not believe it will be just a drizzle to light rain.
Happy Holidays from Califo-nia to the East.

It is snowing again here in the Twin Cities and area, if it continues we will move from the 5th on most snow fall in a the month of December to NUMBER 1, we only need about 6 inches. Temp ZERO with a wind chill well below.
HOWEVER,
The west coast may not need wait for the Big One, they might just get washed into the pacific. MOI, got your boat tied out?
BUT
It could be worse, London is buried under snow as is Paris, you cant fly out or take the train, its all under snow.
Back here where its snowing again we love it, its nothing to be concerned with, why even tonight we will play a game of football in it, that's right, here on the FROZEN TUNDRA.
Its not that the weather is bad, its how prepared you are for it, California, London, Paris, are not, we are.

Re: There's Always The Weather
Two or three days of pitter patter constant light rain added up to three and a half inches by my measure.
But, the last twenty-four hours was harder.
It measured four inches.
Considering we have had years when total rain fall was under three inches, I love it. My big bad '94 4WD Ford Expedition with ABS breaks really feels solid compared to the hydro planes most drive, weather a light weight cheapie, a Prius or a rich person's sports car.
This has been a set up for mudslides. First days of light rain as to soak into the baked adobe earth, then the heavy stuff as will soak into the softer earth and not gully wash away. As in Laguna Beach, the slide can happen weeks after the rain.
It is good to live on granite, on not by a cliff.
This weather has been like the Humboldt County coast.
If this is global warming,
sign me up!
The extremes of 2010 have also been phenomenal. No Summer until Autumn when we had the heat record. A relatively warm Autumn with some sprinkles as keep the colors around, to now RAIN. Glorious, wonderful RAIN.

Brace yourselves those to the East, when we are done with our storms we are sending them your way.
Share the fun as they arrive.![]()
Re: There's Always The Weather
On 12/21 Moi warned our Eastern members and,
the rest is history, or moistory but never herstory.
The storm that lingered up north and ruined my Rose Parade planshas come south to dump a Califo-nia flood in just a few inches over a couple days. Online radar shows mostly green over my home but occasional yellows and reds move through. See
http://www.weather.com/weather/map/i...ive/USCA0764:1.
I am draining well and loving the rain. Dress up well and take a walk. Smell and hear and see the water running down the street.
Hope our eastward positioned EA members enjoy the coming precipitation as much as Moi.
How y'all doing?
Seems like a year of weather extremes all over our Earth. An area the size of Texas flooded in east OZ-land. And it is Summer there.
G'Luck

After -15C for New Year, we now have +3C (and slightly below zero at night). And we are promised at least 2-3 more days of such weather. Is this global warming?
Maybe I will know
What's there in my soul
And my road will flow
To place I've always had to go...
In my little corner of the world it could be considered warm. --FLO--
Condensing fact from the vapor of nuance.
Big storm moving from South towards New England this week.
All sorts of weather advisories...

Yes, as I understand it, a bad cold winter is part of global warming.
This area is already in the 3rd most snow winter in history and its far from over.

As the ocean warms and feed moisture and heat into the atmpsphere, the jet streams that pull air around the world and push highs and lows with the storms grow stronger and more energetic. Their paths drift farther over land. More snow. More Rain. Stronger storms.

Re: There's Always The Weather
No rain in the forecast of Southern California.
East of California probably has a break in precipitation and is in for that biting, chilling, precipitation free time. Unless there is a tropical moisture feed.(?)
The moisture from the west is "off".Love the rain and it is gone

Looking forward to East of California / E.o.C. reports after your current storming.
