Gov. Brown Declares State of Emergency
 

Gov. Brown declares state of emergency after storms cause flooding, erosion, highway damage.

After another round of heavy rains soaked parts of California, Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency late Monday for several counties dealing with an estimated tens of million dollars in damage from flooding, erosion, and mud flows.

The governor’s order cited the destruction to roads and highways from the so-called atmospheric river that has pummeled Southern California, the Central Coast, the San Joaquin Valley and the Bay Area since early January. A second emergency declaration was also issued for a spate of Northern California counties battered by rainstorms.

The emergency order clears the way for requesting federal emergency assistance funds for highway repairs and reconstruction.

The rains that deluged Southern California over the weekend continued Monday, with showers punctuated by bursts of sunshine. Hail was reported in Burbank and snow was anticipated in the Antelope Valley.

Yay!

I hate you.

Everything here is covered in a few inches of ice/snow. The driveway to my apartment building is plowed and maintenance has done nothing about it. I had to go out and I almost couldn't get back in. I may be out there with a shovel later. Ugh.

Haha! I am sorry that you are frozen in. We will cool down this week but we will not be frozen. Texas is a great place to visit during the winter. Hang in there.

But, there was a huge flock of Robin's outside, earlier.
The trees are budding, too.
I think Spring will be here soon.
