Pictured is Los Angeles Snow of 1949 and OC heat of Winter 2013.

Some “smart” guy has a proposal to break California up into 6 pieces. It’s not the first time that the North has tried to make the South (L.A.) start rationing its water. Back in 1949 it actually snowed in Los Angeles in January and, with a much smaller population than today, water wasn’t such a cool comfort  or hot commodity. This year we’re into another drought without much rain and if anything, the Southern Coast, Central Coast and even Northern California have broken temperatures for daytime highs as we head into 2014. The beaches were packed on Christmas 2013 with highs reaching around 86 degrees in some spots. Travelers in Mendocino told us it was shirt-sleeve and sunny there, and Sacramento had a heat spell, as well.

Who needs rain? We hope for the sake of the mountain resorts (Mammoth Mt., Heavenly, Bear Mt., Mountain High, Northstar, Squaw Valley, etc.) that it rains cats & dogs so they have a healthy ski season when rain turns to snow at higher elevations. But more important is the snow melt that provides Southern Californians, Central Valley farmers and Northern Californians water.  We need  snow and rain, but for most Californians the liquid gold simply runs off into the ocean. Snow belongs in the mountains–let it snow!
