On travel soon

I'm not from San Diego. I believed it snowed in Castaic....near Lancaster....don't remember talk about San Diego.....and if it did I'm sure it didn't stay long. We did have a lot of rain and mud slides and it did get rather cold.
Well.....I stand corrected....found this on the San Diego site.

Snow Falls in San Diego
It has pretty much been bone-dry for 156 days, but the dry-spell is officially over.

Peter Chigmaroff San Diegans awoke to thunderstorms, rain, wind, and even snow and hail on Saturday morning.
"This is beautiful," Susan said looking at the snow, laughing. "I left my snow chains at home, my sleds, everything."
The white stuff started falling on Palomar Mountain and Mt. Laguna in the early morning.
"It's the first snow of the year, everybody's happy," Tom McWay from Laguna Mountain Lodge said. "Usually we get a slight dusting around Thanksgiving, but never this much."
By late morning, the snow was even spotted at about 4,000 feet in Pine Valley, which is very rare for this time of year.
"It'll be a zoo tomorrow," McWay said. "Just bring chains and be careful. Bring your trash home with you."
CHP officials described the roads up to Palomar Mountain and Mt. Laguna as “treacherous” to drive on Saturday.
“Don’t go up there unless you have to,” CHP spokesperson Brian Pennings said.
As usual, San Diego drivers showed off their sliding skills on the roads and freeways all over the County. On a normal, “good weather” day, there are normally 50 -- 75 crashes, according to CHP officials. On Saturday, there were at least 73 before 10 a.m.
Rough seas battered boaters on Mission Bay Saturday and prompted lifeguards to close the channel to all boating traffic. Two people had to be rescued and taken to the hospital after being washed off their boat by breaking waves.
A woman from Mira Mesa said that it was hailing in her neighborhood at about 8.30 a.m. She wasn't the only one.
“I’m listening to the rain and hail lashing onto the window panes of our house in San Marcos,” Julia Phillips said. “It's a cup of tea for me and a good book.”
The storm turned out to be a lot more generous than original projections. Sunday's forecast called for mostly sunny skies, an offshore flow and highs in the low to mid 60s.

Ergo, stay off the slidewalks! Or wear snowshoes. Or something.

I found this, from January 3 of this year. This must be what we were watching.

Storm Brings Heavy Snow To San Diego Mountains

By City News Service

Originally published January 3, 2011 at 6:24 a.m., updated January 3, 2011 at 4:21 p.m.

Flooding and snowfall were reported on some San Diego County roads today, and motorists were ordered to put chains on their tires before venturing into Laguna Mountains.

California Highway Patrol officers said the Carmel Mountain Road connector to northbound Interstate 5 remained closed for a second day today because of flooding.

In the Laguna Mountains, snow fell overnight, enabling people to go sledding, according to employees at Laguna Mountain Lodge at 10678 Sunrise Highway.

Out lying areas...yes. Our mountains get snow.....and lowest this year was 1600 feet......but nothing near the coast. It did snow, here, once.......barely hit the ground.....course, I don't remember that.

I sorted through some more of my Japan pictures. Here's an album from my visit to Tokyo Disneyland: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... 86efb8de61

Great pictures. Soooo, Tokyo Disneyland didn't impress you much.

[Xjmt]

Neat pics. Too bad there was no way to comment.

[brian]

Friend me on Facebook and you can comment.

Actually, though I did really enjoy myself, Tokyo Disneyland was just Disneyland with more foreigners. Wait until you see how much Tokyo DisneySea impressed me!

[lswot]

Oh, my gosh.....they have a DisneySea? We almost had one but, legal stuff got in the way not to mention disagreements on who paid for what.
