Winter Wonderland, L.A. Style

Dear L.A.: ever hear of storm drains?  I went to meet my buddy for coffee in the valley today and thought I had somehow gotten onto the set of Waterworld.  A few photos from my (unexpected!) adventure.  I would have been better off taking my canoe...


EDIT: Updated as of Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. - there is a thunderstorm out here - well, some thunder and lightning, more than I've seen out here before.  And crazy wind and lots and lots of rain.  Word is that there is another storm on the way tomorrow that will be even worse than this one.  And who says it's always sunny in L.A.?!
