    Closed due to snow

    We are closed today and possibly tomorow due to 6 inches of snow and the city has no snow clearing equipment.

    What the heck has happened to "global warming"? You don't suppose that Gore and the rest are lying to us? Britain and Europe are on track for their third consequtive cold snowy winter. Even Cancun had more than a week of record cold during the climate love fest. Must all be global warming caused by us driving our cars.

    snow pics

    As you can see the streets have been cleared in the downtown area but the side roads are still covered in ice and snow, the temps are aroung freezing for the next few days so the snow will be here for a while longer.

    I can only assume you have never driven on snow and ice. All posi is going to do for you is help your front and rear ends exchange positions.

    Wow, you guys make me feel like a wus. I wouldn't even consider driving my car in those kind of conditions, not because of the car though that is part of it, but mostly because of me. I'll gladly ski in that though.

    Come on down. It's been a little cold here lately (for California) but this weekend looks good for a drive.

    Well regardless of the weather in southern CA,it is still California and the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. Far too many Californians.
