I didn't think that was allowed in California.
I think this is part of that Alberta Clipper only in the form of rain here, not snow.

"Seems it never rains in Southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya
It pours man it pours."

Remember that song It Never Rains In Southern California?
Ironically perhaps, it was written by an Englishman - Albert Hammond - who had yet to actually travel here when he came up with those words.
True - it is not actually about the weather, but it has probably done more than any other ditty to uphold the image of Los Angeles as some sort of palm-fringed paradise with nary a cloud in the sky.

Brown eggs come from hens with red feathers and red ear lobes; white eggs come from hens with white feathers and white ear lobes. Shell color is determined by the breed of hen and has no effect on its quality, nutrients or flavor.

"Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!"

Remember that little song from some commercial? Apparently, that dairy had the red feathered/earlobe hens!

Venus is the hottest known planet in our galaxy - not Mercury - due to the
carbon dioxide gases that trap heat from exiting its atmosphere. Mercury is closer to the sun, but Venus is 863 degrees. OUCH!!!!:angry:
