Barren down the hatches SFO

[BSmack]

High surf and rain is coming. m2, you might want to upgrade to a homeless shelter tonight.

It's scary out here. It seems like Martinez Unified is the only district keeping schools open. The bastards. Making my kids endure both RAIN and WIND to learn.

But yeah, NorCals aren't soft or anything.

[trev]

The boys are gettin' hammered in San Fran.

Errrrrrrrr.

Yeah.

We might get an inch of that, if it doesn't Peter out once it gets down here.

[trev]

Really? Schools closed for rain? LOL.....

Buffalo is laughing at you.

We close down here, only for very bad wildfires.

[Dinsdale]

Wait, that's the "storm of the decade"? 20 foot seas, 1.5-3" of rain, 75mph winds?

On the Oregon Coast, we call that "winter." Weekly occurrence. And everyone goes about their business.

A couple of years ago, I worked outside in a worse storm than that.

Supposed to have 60+mph winds in the Valley here tomorrow. Inland, 65 or so is when trees start coming down. Could be fun.

[trev]

I think I quite like living in a place with no weather.

[R-Jack]

With all the hype, I'm expecting to see Johnny Utah finally track Bodie down

[Dinsdale]

I think I quite like living in a place with no weather.

I'll take my 5 months of weather... and enjoy a tree or two.

[Dinsdale]

Bodie

He's not coming back.

[Moving Sale]

65 or so is when trees start coming down. Could be fun.

You fat fingered the 3 and typed a 6 instead.

Oregon is a beautiful place, no doubt.

[Diego in Seattle]

Seattle is laughing at SFO.

And will be again on Sunday.

[Moving Sale]

You can have today and tomorrow, but 363-2 is still a pretty good record.

[BarFlie]

I bet surfing the mudslides will be fun.

[matteric]

Mavericks at Half Moon Bay is likely to see some of the largest waves reaching as high as 27 feet during high tide. Stinson Beach and Ocean Beach could see 11 to 18-foot waves. Swells above 20-feet will develop offshore leading to hazardous conditions for mariners.

Ummm... just got back from "the patch" in Bolinas (north of Stinson Beach)... and you can double and triple the over head on the predicted wave size.


For the first time in my life... I had to take my 7 foot 6 Yater... out of the ocean. I simply could not paddle out of the soups.


Just got back to San Rafael... and winds are starting to howl here as well.


This one has the making of a motherfucker.


And we are used to 40 to 50 foot waves on the North Coast during the winter.

I'm guessing 70 to 80 foot waves tonight and early this morning.


I'm going to walk the two blocks to Safeway from Gerstle Park (my hood 10 minutes north of "the City" and grab a couple bottles of Vodka and ride this one out...)

Being on Ross Street... makes this possible.

[matteric]

It's a mother.


Already a 1/2 a foot of rain this morning in the North Bay and 71 mph winds on Mt. Tam and 83 mph winds on Mt. Hamilton in the south bay


On to bottle # 2.

[Moving Sale]

5in. at my buddies 420 farm on spy rock in mendo.
All unpaved roads washed out. Rivers at flood level.

[R-Jack]

Had to drive into Marin this morning. Thankfully the roads aren't littered with jackasses. Nothing like a monsoon to bring out the contentious motorist.

Getting back to the east bay may be a different story

[Diego in Seattle]

66 partly cloudy here today. shorts, long sleever T and flip flops. And we have lots of trees

Have you done your monthly watering of lawn yet?

[Goober McTuber]

On to bottle # 2.

No one wants to hear about your rectal insertions, pervert.

[Dinsdale]

Earlier, it was sunny and about 60.

Now, it's starting to get pretty dark, and getting the occasional strong gust.

Let's get this party started. Maybe some weatherman can go stand outside and have a tree fall on him.

[Dinsdale]

So far, thoroughly unimpressive.

The sustained winds are no more that 10-15, but there's been some doozy gusts, probably in the 50mph range. No trees down in my immediate vicinity, but I'm in a very wind-sheltered spot.

Still sunny and warm (by season standards), and the sun is about down (light starts fading by 4 PM this time of year).

C'mon, show me something, Ma Nature!

[smackaholic]

C'mon, show me something, Ma Nature!

^^^^^famous last words of more than one mofo.

You call out MN at your own peril. Have fun. She has been douching us pretty good these last few weeks. Pretty sure the forest fire danger arrow thingy is pinned to the left.

Surf's up at Lake Tahoe. Dec 11, 2014

[matteric]

The Sierra Nevada's (the highest mountain range in the United States outside of Alaska)... about 3 hours from San Francisco... Lake Tahoe


Northern California... a REAL man's playground in the winter.


Tree's, mountains, water, snow, and surf.






















It's good being m2

[smackaholic]

surfing at tahoe? that's crazy. that water has to be seriously cold.

[Mikey]

Flash flood watch, high wind advisory here.

The weather came about 4 hours late and not really raining all that hard.

Just keep it coming so I won't have to fill in my pool.

[mvscal]

I think I quite like living in a place with no weather.

I thought so, too. It's pretty fucking boring actually. I like having weather and seasons.

[molly]

M2 is bad for my data plan :/

It's been pouring hard I socal since about 2 am? My grass (actual grass not pot) is flooded. I'm leaving for the weekend and I'm kinda sad I'm going to miss this weather. But I hope it makes the ship rock n roll. This also means if it keeps going south I'm not getting off in ensenada.

[trev]

Molly going on a booze cruise. I'm jealous!

I grew up in Ohio, so I know what it's like. I do love seasons.

Things I love: fall, rain storms, spring in bloom, white new snow, ice skating, cool temps

Things I don't love: humidity, bugs, bitter in February, dirty snow, tornadoes

[molly]

Molly going on a booze cruise. I'm jealous!

Totally :)
Buuuuuuuut the kid is going.
Buuuuuuuut The kid hangs out at camp carnival.

I may hit up the piano bar and get a little plastered and then sober up in the casino before pickup at 1am. I have some ridiculous $200 onboard credit.

[FLW Buckeye]

Pussies. I rode 32 miles in below freezing temps just now.

Why? Manhood check?

[Dinsdale]

Kind of a letdown, really. A few branches to clean up in the yard.

Tree fell on a car not too far from here, which killed a kid, which is kind of a bummer.

[trev]

Sentiments exactly.

I heard about the death up there.

And then I see you posting.

Had he already committed to the Ducks?

Oh my.

he said bummer, not tragedy.

[molly]

I loved this weekends weather. Cool enough. Plus, the tides kept the ship rockin n rollin.
