THE HAIL, YOU SAY!

Noel7 — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 22:12:28 GMT

Where are my California peeps? Hail storm happening now

A car just stopped in front of the house and the driver got out to take a photo. Just heard thunder.

Heavy rain this morning, the girls were both worried. 20 foot waves at the Pacifica beaches also reported this morning.

Southern Ca area.

Sunny skies with gentle winds blowing my 5 foot wind chime.

Peaceful day.

@Noel7, not a California peep anymore, but my favorite times in No Cal were when I lived in Monterey and the storms brought the big waves in. A panegyric to nature.

Hey Noel! Of course, I'm just a little east of you but we got some really nice snow - for a short while. It was beautiful BIG flakes. It's broken up for now but still a little breezy. Looks like the mountains have been getting a nice amount of snow so far today.

Hope the ice balls are small. I love seeing those come down but I've never seen the really big ones they get in other parts of the country.

Hope you are well.

I'm so jealous! If I could move one more time I would love love love to move to the Monterey/Pacific Grove area. That is one of my favorite places in the whole world.

I'm 'from' CA, but have lived CA-adjacent for quite some time now. Many trips to Monterey, and I fear there will never be another one, and I fell in love with it the first time!

I've lived all over CA, but that's my fav part. Well, then there's San Francisco which is a city I've been in love with since I was a kid. I even have pics of the Golden Gate Bridge all over my house.

That will turn into our next snow storm late tomorrow into Tue.

Be safe!

Hey Noel, Its been storming here in Mt.View/Cupertino off and on all morning and afternoon, plus its windy! The sun did peek through for a few minutes but the clouds came back along with more rain. No complaints, we need the rain!

Hello, MaggieMack

Love Monterey! A beautiful area, and then there's the nearby Carmel, like a fairy village.

Parts of So Cal (but somehow never my part, lol) are due for rain starting at 7-8 pm. but it isn't going to be a big deal. Our rains that come from the north peter out before they get here. The El Nino rains will come frim the south, so they say. It's sunny here and pretty, but slightly chilly daytimes and it's been pretty windy.

I hear you, @chickenbutt. I'll be just north of Salinas within 3 months and plan to spend a lot of time in Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel. I love to just sit and watch/listen to the surf. It's like a daytime lullaby.

I have a niece in Alaska who is in the direct path of a blizzard today & tomorrow.

Snow! Wonderful, I've been getting daily Instagram photos of snow in Yosemite, absolutely gorgeous. The hail here is small and melting soon after it hits the ground, but we're at least able to see it

I'm doing much better, will be glad to get off of the dreaded prednisone. Maybe 10 days left.

How are you doing? I hope you are ok, you've been doing a lot this season, tiring, I know

You, too, VCamp!

BTW, the San Jose Mercury news says the two recent storms came down from Alaska. I guess that's why we're getting hail and snow in parts of Northern CA.

Glad you're doing well! Oh yeah, Prednisone is a bit of a PITA for sure. Always good when the therapy is finished!

I'm hanging in there. Having way more bad nights than I wish I had but I manage. It boggles the mind that one can be so exhausted, yet cannot sleep. I fall asleep for periods, and I'm totally not exaggerating, of 5 to 10 minutes at a time. Then I'm awake for a while - sometimes only an hour or up to 3 hours - then another 5-10 minutes of sleep - ad nauseam, throughout the night. argh!

Got through Thanksgiving not too much worse for the wear. Four days of hard work but I do love the turkey and other stuff I make. The husband just lives for that meal, too, so I am going to keep doing it for as long as I can..

@Noel7, we are having 75 high temp days here in the Blue Ridge Mtns, never had a day this warm @ Christmas season before, since we lived in the sauna of FL! Crazy weather.

Winds have been a problem here, too, particularly stirring up the coastal regions. Every year people go out to watch the surf and they have to be warned to stay back, it can be very dangerous.

I hope you do get rain, ladyroxanne, the trees and plants around here need it, that's for sure.
