I think it was nearly 15 or 16 years ago we had snow here in Southern California however nothing in compare to what we had been getting lately. I live in San Diego County and I been seen snow flurries non of course had stuck unless I drive up to our local mountians there is where all of the fun white stuff is at.

Did anyone cover how the electric cars are doing? I know they don't like the cold. Is home charging running at the same rates? Are the electric charging areas accessible and being plowed, like a regular gas station?

Did Mexico get snow too . Just look how big this storm is .

[CarlosGomez-pbry]

Dont call it misery, just call it the power of GOD we are nothing compare to his power .

The reservoirs would be full by now if the CA guv wasn't sending all the water to the ocean.
