Is there a crucial beat up there that's relevant to LA? Hmmm.<br /><br />That being said, I've lived in LA for a dozen years but am originally an Ohio native. Needless to say, I'm familiar with fluctuating weather patterns. The thing that always amazes me about LA is that when there is a major rainfall (our sign of winter), the city shuts down. Roads are either empty or filled with fender benders caused by people who don't know how to drive when it's not 72 and sunny out. Makes me crazy every time.<br /><br />Hope you made it through the storm unscathed...Dude of The Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272483182710859456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-36927445977383536442012-01-25T13:29:46.895-08:002012-01-25T13:29:46.895-08:00Nice to know I've got a couple of badasses as ...Nice to know I've got a couple of badasses as friends!Jennifer Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543609958581052245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224100136962162818.post-25051735978824543772012-01-25T13:25:06.545-08:002012-01-25T13:25:06.545-08:00Counties budget and apply funding for weather cond...Counties budget and apply funding for weather conditions they're typically used to dealing with.
