Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

As I and "TheGolfChick" have been posting recently, it's been colder than normal here in Southern California...and WINDIER, too...(I've lived here my entire life, and it's been a LONG time since it's been SO windy...EVERY day it's like 30-50 mph winds...so, we play the ball a bit back in our stance, and keep it low...just like they do in Texas, right???)

But I digress...it was SO cold in Southern California yesterday... {How cold WAS it???} It was SO cold in Southern California yesterday that it SNOWED in the Santa Monica mountains, midway between Malibu on the coast, and Agoura Hills where I work!!! (It actually HAILED quite hard for a few minutes in Agoura Hills, and we had several lightning strikes, one of which was right overhead, because it was like Flash-BOOM...kinda spooky, actually...it got so dark outside {How dark WAS it???) It was so dark outside that the parking lot lights turned on at 11AM!!!

Great photos, Scott!

Did you see the people on the news scooping up the snow and preparing to sell it on e-bay? There will probably be some morons buying it, too!

We so rarely experience actual winter weather, they actually issued a "winter weather advisory." Hilarious.

Come on, spring!
