Great for Skiiers, Bad for Motorists
Southern California was hit yesterday with an unusually strong arctic blast. Because this, our fair city and the surrounding areas are as prepared for a meteor strike as they are for the slightest fluffly snowfall, you can imagine what an "arctic blast" will do. Two-wheel SUV and hybrid vehicle-traffic came to a screeching halt as snow and ice blanketed roads, forcing the closure of several of SoCal's busiest freeways, including I-15, I-5 and Highway 14.
The storm's combination of frigid air, powerful winds and heavy precipitation dropped the snow level to an unusually low 2,000 feet, with at least 20 inches of snow in Wrightwood, 5 inches in the hills above Malibu and 6 inches or more in Palmdale, where all major routes from Los Angeles were blocked. - L.A.

To Live and Die in LA
I have to believe this is 100 percent factual or a writer trying to become famous. Because people in L.A. ALWAYS seem to be looking for a place to live, one can only assume writing a post for Craigslist is as close to mainstream publishing as most people will ever get.
Either way, it's awesome.
Enjoy the latest bounty of L.A.'s Craiglist...
$400 Room in eccentric boarding house (Venice) (map)
Why would a room rent for $400 when rooms three blocks from Venice beach normally rent for $1100? Well, because the room is in a house that is nothing like any other house you will have ever lived in. Allow me to explain: I live in the backyard in a van. How's that for starters? I'm placing this ad for the loveable older gentleman who occupies the house. His name is George and he is the man you will be calling if this room interests you. I will stay out of it completely since, as I mentioned, I'm just a guy who lives in the backyard and can type. And I want to help George get some leads. The place is available right now. You could move in today if you cover the first and last month rent. It will be a share a home agreement. No lease. Just share a home. Dig? Read more....
