What is it that everyone talks about and complains about, but never does anything about?

Yes, it’s the weather.

And while the news media has done a good job of covering world- and country-wide tornadoes, floods, tsunamis (OK, that one was a bust as far as Northern California was concerned) and other natural disasters, local events haven’t received the same publicity. Like the tornadoes last week in adjacent Placer and Butte counties. Or the unbelievable amounts of snow fall throughout the winter and even just last night. Or the local flooding all around us and the rest to come – See previous sentence regarding Sierra snow packs.

Or yesterday evening’s hail storm. Yes, that was a hail storm. Click on the picture to see how thick it was.

Some of my neighbors have tarps on their roofs – That was a doozie!
