It’s official, I need to buy gloves

It’s been so cold here in LA lately, and Valencia in particular that I’ve been wearing 2 coats and a scarf everyday. And today as I started walking into work, it started snowing. I thought I left Buffalo to get away from the snow/cold?! It looks pretty but if you’re accustomed to snow you know that when it’s 38 degrees and snowing it’s that wet snow that melts and never accumulates. So as soon as it touches the ground it turns to water/slush.

Apparantly this long cold spell is not just annoying Angelinos, it’s also affecting all the crops up here and in Ventura county. Lots of oranges, strawberries, and avocados have died from the frost and cold temperatures.. so in the next 2 weeks we’re supposed to expect a huge price jump in those. I wonder if it will affect the East Coast too, i know they get a lot of their stuff from Florida.

I wish I got a photo of the snow this morning but after I sent my text message to all my friends about the snow, my phone battery died and with it goes the possible opportunity for a kodak moment.

Here’s a pic from KCAL of the 5 fwy north about 3 exits up the road from me near Castaic Lake:
