Dec

Winter has arrived in California and according to some meteorologists, it’s looking to be prime time for El Nino. This means lots of rain and cooooooooooooold weather. Well, cold for southern California, anyway. We’re currently experiencing our second storm in the past week, though it’s thankfully less windy and not dumping as much water as the first of the season. That one was pretty intense.

We drove up to the summit of Mt. Helix to watch the storm arrive, earlier today. The view is always pretty spectacular from up there, no matter what time or type of day it is. And since the summit is less than 10 minutes’ drive from our home… why not? Okay, so we had an alternate motive for leaving the house today, too. Watching the news this morning, apparently a 50′ pipe fell from a truck on the 125/8 interchange, onto La Mesa Boulevard. Being so close to us, we couldn’t resist heading over there and snapping a few pictures. Nobody was seriously injured and no major damage done (except potentially to a taxi, but whatever).

So here, have some pictures…
