Not really rain I guess, more like sprinkiling but still...Shocking.

I think I'll make some coffee and pretend like it's winter. Maybe I'll even change out of my shorts and into something that covers the whole leg.

I know this is really shocking weather. Snowed in the mountains two weeks ago, an awesome 70 degree plus weekend and now this. Cold rain too. WElp, we can always use the rain. Coastal deserts are great are they not?

I'm digging the rain.

Might have to take Wed off, clear air and clean roads?

That would imply that you work in the first place....

[luvtolean]

Shiot, at least I got a job.

BTW, that might actually work. Might have to come down, going off alcohol for Lent. Gotta end my drinking in style.

[navydevildoc]

So do I... for 2 more days...

sprinkling cleans the roads off?

you guys should have added in the fact that your rain is still better than our 10-20°F.

Maybe not like snow-salt-blade does, but there's little rivers of oil running down the gutters.

It's not raining down here in Sandy Eggo. It's dreary as all hell, I feel like I am in Seattle, but no rain. It sprinkled for about 10 minutes earlier, but that was it.

So that means there will be like 20 million car crashes in SoCal today, I swear when I lived there everytime it rained I saw a flipped car on the 405 or a 20 car pile up.
I guess it's too much to expect most Californians to understand the concept that wet roads = less traction.

Yep...though wet roads here are a lot more slippery then wet roads were in MN due to the infrequent rains here. Oil and crap buildup is terrible and they get verrrrry slick with the rain.

It's now rained (sprinkled) for an hour. Where's my life jacket...

[CBR929RE]

even around here I think people can't drive in the rain. Whenever it rains I'm always doing atleast 10mph faster on the highway. As long as you have decent tires with good tread then you shouldn't have too much trouble. I'm actually a believer in most people can't drive very well anyway.

Yeah, and the oil has the consistency of snot when it gets wet, so it usually doesn't wash away unless it really comes down.

Not up here, this is actually turned into honest-to-God rain.

Ride up here on Wed and we'll ride the 74 out to Palm Springs.

Starting to really come down up here too.

FWIW: Rain is the most hazardous weather that Californian's face, on average. They just aren't used to it being inclimate in anyway. Other than what wntr said, think about it, 300 days a yr, beautiful sunshine and now this....CRAP! No different the first snow storm in a lot of places.

Becareful out there on the roads LTL, sometimes it washes the dirt right into the roads and it sits on the inside corners.

!@#$ i thnk the temp just went below 60! I'm moving back to hawaii.

[esoteric]

It started before noon here, I think. I rode today with the intent to get some wet weather experience before I have to fully face the music that it's almost summer :-) I love sliding my car around the corners but I think it'll be a little while before I can do it on the bike ;-)

A big problem in SoCal is all the rear-wheel drive vehicles. Back in NH I used to blast up the 3 in my little Mazda around all the crappy SUVs and can still do so down here when it rains.

umm my car is rwd. a couple weeks ago it was snowing pretty damn good on my way to work (a sunday so no traffic) and I was the only one doing over 30 (I was doing about 50-55). Of course I was a little sideways most of the time but that was fun. The way home was a little different as it was white out conditions and it was coming down so fast the plow crews couldn't keep up.
