Rain!

Finally!

It's already started a little bit here in mid-805 about 6am.

Be safe out there everyone, we know how bad Ca. drivers can be when the roads get wet and greasy!

As a Firefighter in SoCal, I noticed that when anyone so much as rolls down their window and spits - cars act like mercury on teflon.

I very quickly found the traction limits on cold wet tires pulling out of my street these last few days (with brand new A/S tires).

Had to remind myself to go easy at first. . .

I hope we get hit by a few more storms. We definitely need the rain and hopefully some good snow fall in the mountains.

Most california drivers are already bad, the rain just helps them show it.
