6 Deacon,
Onanism only makes you feel less cold.

7 About 12 Years ago (Memory is not exact) we had a freak snowstorm here in Central Alabama, got around 8 inches.

I remember it clearly because I had a tremendous pine tree, over burdened by the snow cut my home in half, (Nobody hurt)

8 Onanism only makes you feel less cold.

You have to love yourself before you can love others.

10 There is one relatively reliable (but by no means infallible) computer model which gives detailed pressure and precip up to 10 days from the initialization period.

It is viewable at:

And shows an intense cold core storm in in the SCal area from day 6 to day 10.

12 What do y'all in SoCal consider 'cold'; besides the Charger's playoff hopes?

We were 65 and calm yesterday and today 28 with 25mph winds, that drastic a change in half a day makes it that much more miserable - hope you all got cold gear stuff ready just in case.
