A section of Interstate 8, a highway that almost touches the Mexican border, remained closed Friday after a surprise winter storm hit Southern California.
The California Highway Patrol said more than 500 cars and trucks were abandoned on the highway, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. About 300 people sheltered overnight in a casino and 100 at a fire station.
Crashes were common but no major injuries or deaths were reported.
The snowstorm was not predicted. The National Weather Service forecast a 20 percent chance of light rain in the San Diego area for Thursday.
Instead, the rain was heavy near the Pacific and turned to snow in the mountains.
Bo Donovan, manager of the airport in Ramona, 1,393 feet above sea level, said he has worked there for almost five years without seeing snow.
"This is real snow. It's piled up against the building," he said.
- IT AIN'T GETTING WARMER, ANYMORE.
- FIRST SNOW IN SAN DIEGO IN 5 YEARS.
- MOST SNOW IN EUROPE IN 50 YEARS.
- MOST SNOW EVER IN MIDWEST.
- COLDEST DAY EVER IN USA.
- COLDEST, SNOWIEST WINTER IN CHNIA IN 100.
- COLDEST, SNOWIEST WINTER IN CENTRAL ASIA AND TURKEY, TOO.

When I was in college they said an ice age was coming our way. That myth was enshrined in the Clash song, London's Calling.
Once Global Warming is proven to be hysteria, they will manufacture another fear. If it keeps snowing in unlikely places like San Diego, we will probably be in for another Ice Age, and it will still be blamed on America.
WE CAN SMASH THE LEFT.
WE WILL.
WE WILL DEMOLISH THE STRANGLEHOLD THE LEFT HAS ON THE MSM AND THE ACDEMY.
AND WE WILL EXPOSE THEIR FALSEHOODS - LIKE AGW, REDISTRIBUTION SCHEMES, GUN LAWS, ANTI-MARRIAGE EFFORTS AND THE WHOLE ENTIRE GRAMSCIAN SCHEME.
WE CAN DO IT.
THE COLLAPSE OF AGW WILL HELP A LOT.
A WHOLE FRIGGIN LOT.
I hope so.
What you're saying makes sense. I just wonder if anyone has any memory.
