Raven, the Grapevine scares the heck out of me coming down the grade into Oxnard. And that is on a GOOD day. Snow would terrify me!

cody........it doesn't bother me, and I do have to drive it a lot.........what bothers me is the people that aren't from here..........especially the truckers who don't know how to drive that grade down the mountain.............they over heat their brakes and then loose control.........that's a really really really steep grade, leaving and going, and dangerous......................................raven

Yep...it is those truckers that I see bearing down on me in the rear view mirror. Scares me!!!

OMG cody, there's nothing more scary than seeing one of those 18 wheelers in your rear view mirror coming down the grapevine especially when there's snow. The stuff of nightmares!! {#emotions_dlg.scared}

Yep. I can tell that you have had that experience!

I have to say, every time I see your siggy I smile. I love bacon bits and friends. Too cute!

Re: and it begins............we've got wind

Weather looks dark and threatening. However, the breezes kicked in and blew away some of the clouds so if there was going to be rainfall from them, it went out of the area. Maybe later tonight or early morning things will change.

Everyone who has had warnings, take care and stay safe and warm.
