Among the insults that would raise the ire of any true Northwesterner in this article are these : "Color Seattle Clueless" and "The City has always marched unarmed into it infrequent battles with snow". There is worse, but I dare not repeat them in this blog for fear of the reaction of the stalwart, proud readers of the blog.
It's payback time. After month's of dry weather Los Angeles has been hit by some light rain and they are in near panic mode. Northwest residents can smirk and call it like it is: Los Angelenos are rain wimps. It just brings a smile to your face.
Los Angeles TV stations are providing dawn to dusk coverage of this soggy threat to life and limb. For example, here is a video of a LA station that will warm your heart. Listen to the wise advice of some women when asked what do when it rains (click on image or link).
These fearful Los Angeles residents are completely freaked out by rain. Consider some of the "warnings" in the LA Times today:
" Debris and trash make their way into the ocean whenever it rains."

Since it rains so infrequently in LA, a Santa Monica group has found another use for these devices: as a weapon.
So what are the severe rain conditions being experienced down in LA? Here is is precipitation plot at downtown LA form the National Weather Service for November. The green bar indicates the observed rainfall: .05 inches. LOL. The red bars are the daily records.
