For many years I have lived in the Los Angeles basin and I had to learn that the song with the line “it never rains in California” is not quite true. I have been drenched, in fact, rather solidly.
So done with that myth. But at least I don’t have to deal with snow and scraping windows and shoveling the driveway.
Let’s dispense with those myth as well.
First, there is no snow in (Southern) California…
Yes, that’s icicles in the foreground – nice, huh? But “no snow”- that’s debunked.
Next one is scraping windows. I did when that above happened, but I have to admit that it was not really necessary, as there was no way to get out of that drive way even with a 4×4 and I had still enough food and water so there was no need to get out.
No scraping windows – kind-of debunked.
Then shoveling your drive way. See, there California is different. I did not shovel my drive way when I had to get out eventually – I called somebody to do that for me. That myth is not debunked but confirmed.
That snow, and here Southern California is different, did not stay very long. Initially it was just too deep to do anything useful with it, except maybe sit inside next to the roaring fireplace and enjoy the view. But when it got a bit more slippery and wet it became great to exercise the sledge and practice some death defying jumps…
